tech291083 Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 have just installed the latest Mandriva limited edition Linux dvd (which came with a linux magazine named Linux Format) on my pc.During the installation I chose all the options including servers,office all the packeges.Since I am quite new to linux, I am not in a position to start testing php files with MySQL database connected to it as a web design practice which is part of hobby/interest. Can any one plz tell me as how to start them both.I could not find out where MySQL was installed on the system nor php and Apache server.During the installation I assumed that all three of them (PHP,MySQL and the Apache server) would be included in the installation of Mandriva limited edition.I am eager to learn PHP and MySQL on Linux.I would really apprecitate any help form the community.Thanks...

devries Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Apache and MySQL run as services. Open the Mandriva Control Center (MCC), system, services, select them and click start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
