Help with MYSQL db setup

[Dammy]

Here's what I need:
a step-by-step instruction on how to setup a mysql database on a ded. server running RedHat Linux...
I'm hosted on a friend's server and he doesn't know how to do set one up for me, so I'm stumped.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks a million times http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

The same article also tells how to install PHP... Might as well kill two birds with one stone while you're there.

Dthanks for the quick response Abbadon, but that's not what I'm trying to do..
Let me retry to explain this:
Mysql is already installed on the server, I just need to create 1 particular mysql database for one of my domains (so i can use a certain CJ script on it)... I need the step-by-step instructions on how to setup that. I hope this makes any sense.
thanks again

p.s. ICQ help would be great too http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif -> 60458014

Dawgy posted the right link...

Look at Create Database, and then Create Table. If you're not comfortable with SQL, this might be a good time to acquire a good SQL book.

Alternatively, if PHP is running on the machine, install PHPMyAdmin and it'll prompt you through the whole process.
