install php and mysql on it.

Download MySQL, install it - set it all up...then download phpmyadmin (www.phpmyadmin.net)...I reccomend using Apache (www.apache.org) for the web server... and of course you will need PHP (www.php.net)...then you're set!

[Doctor Dre]

I already got everything I need installed. What I need is too create a database.

mysql> create database x;
mysql> show databases;
mysql> grant all on x.* to drdre identified by 'hellyeah';

?

from your admin cpanel or whatever you are using you might have access to phpMyAdmin... that is easiest way for you to create a database.

if not then open up a php page in your browser and put that code in :
mysql_query("CREATE TABLE my_table");

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
create database databasenamegoeshere;
GRANT SELECT,ALTER,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,CREATE,DROP ON databasenamegoeshere.* TO usernamegoeshere@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'passwordgoeshere';
