Digging into PHP and MySQL

I'm starting to finally get around to learning PHP.
So far I have setup a LAMP server; thats me dropping names, really all I did was install Ubuntu Server, set a password, and roll.

I did install mysql-admin on the server, and am running it headless from a remote computer over ssh; pretty cool I think. If anyone out there is wondering how to go about that, the command is:

ssh -X username@192.168.1.101

Enter the password for the account your logging in to the server with.
Then fire up mysql-admin.

sudo mysql-admin

I'm still new at this, and am not sure if I should or should not be running mysql-admin as superuser; however, because my current setup does not have permissions set to my username, I will set permissions accordingly after I research the issue.

I'll try to not neglect this blog as much; so if your interested in what I'm up to, keep checking back time to time.

Check out the new Tutorials section!
And keep checking back for more tutorials.
I will continually add more, and indeed am going to try to post one new tutorial/guide per day for the next 20 days. I will even entertain requests until January 1, 2009.
After January I will post here when I'm ready for more requests.
Thanks for dropping in, and I hope you find something you needed.

Happy Holidays,

Welcome to the My Linux Installer Blog

Thank You for visiting the blog!
I'm just getting this thing fired up; and as I've never "blogged" before this is sure to be entertaining for at least one of us :)

In the My Linux Installer Blog you will expect to find interesting how to guides and articles; as well as news about how were doing, and the new things I hope to be offering when/as ideas become developed.

While were here, lets talk about the Downloads page. Currently you'll note that it says "There are currently no files available for download"; this is only temporary, I am still pondering what types of files would be of interest to you. I am here to service those of you who would like to run Linux, but would not like to be bothered with administration, installs, or what have you; so, why not head on over to the Contact page, and drop me a line with requests for the types of softwares that could help you most. I'll make a list of known good ones, complete with links out to their respective websites, and package names for the 2 most common package types.

Looking forward to seeing your ideas,
Rob
