Hello !
I have tried to set up a server here at home just for testing it out.
It will serve as my private test/web/file/mp3 server (I hope).
Maybe set it up later so that a friend can access it from the outside.
I followed The Perfect Setup - CentOS 4.3 (64-bit) (server-cd) tutorial (Great work!!!!)
Didn't find any Centos 4.3 64-bits server-cd ISO's
and no tutorial for v4.4 64-bit, but I guess this close-enough-mix will do.
But right now I feel like a stupid nobody that doesn't even know what to do with his toy.
Command line shell is just a little bit harder to get used to than I thought. But I will not give up.
I will take my experience from the start.. Maybe to detailed, but anyhow..
If You care to spend a few minutes I really will thank You!
Almost everything worked fine.
I have been able to figure out some trouble myselves,
but all my other friends are WinOnly so I guess I have to use forums on the rest..
(mySQL)
mySQL seemed to install fine.
However when I tried to check that networking was enabled it answered with:
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 3996/mysql
instead of
tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2995/mysql
that the tutorial said it would return..
Don't know what the numbers are? port? - but I guess it's ok?

When I tried to set up a password for the user root it typed
exactly this:
mysqladmin -u root password yellowcar2
mysqladmin -h server1.myhomedomain.com -u root password yellowcar2
(Should I have substitued password with root-password? )
Anyhow - the response was:
Unknown command: yellowcar2
You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root
yellowcar2 - a command ?
Well.. reading command line mail at 3AM - later also
So I tried to run the:
mysqladmin -u root password yellowcar2
command again and every time I get this answer:
mysqladmin: connect to server at localhost failed
error: Access denied for user root @ localhost (using password: NO)
However mySQL starts and stops normal if I try to start or stop it.
I am also able to log into mySQL with:
mysql -u root -p

(Apache)
I am able to see the CentOS defalt webpage when surfing the server IP.
One thing I don't get to work is to go to the user charlies webpage.
http://192.168.1.100/~charlie/
does not exist
http://192.168.1.100/charlie/
does not exist
Maybe CentOS does not create the user webspace and homefolder at same time ??
If anyone would like to comment on any part of my install I would be happy.
I am a real noob with linux, so please be gentle (but I am willing to learn)
Best Regards
Sammy
