mySql installation/startup documentation?
I understand that this isn't a mySql site, but seeing that several schools are using mySql with Luminis, does anyone have any installation/startup documentation that they could share? On our solaris box, mysql is installed by default, but I am having a hard time getting anywhere with it since I've never had to administer it before. We've got php working with a sql server, but now want to add wordpress to the mix, so I'm back to trying to figure out the mysql. Any tips would be appreciated.
The offical documentation has always been helpful for me
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/
Whenever I've ever needed any info on admin, install, etc. etc. the official MySQL documentation is the first place I go. HTH

Make sure the documentation you use matches your mysql version.
I'd recommend installing mysql yourself, so you know where everything lives. Its also a good learning experience, as you see more of the configuration options (learning how to change the directory that data is written in, changing the location of config files, how to make startup scripts that do custom things, etc...)

I did get it configured and setup a little, then realized that I need to upgrade it, the version is too old for wordpress. I think the biggest thing that threw me off was that I set the mysql root password without quotes, after that it wouldn't take the root password. So no idea how to fix that problem.
