Welcome to the C122 course for Semester 2, 2006.
If you have not done so, you should create a blog of your own at www.uniblogs.org.
You should write your own entry to introduce (briefly) and upload a photo of yourself.
The idea behind this is to practice using the blog system before you have to use it intensely during the semester.
You’ll find a sample entry if you read the whole of this story.

In Synaptic search for MySql and install, “mysql-server” and “mysql-admin” (this is the administration GUI.)
When it installs type into the terminal: mysqladmin password
This will change the root password to something of your choice. Next, in terminal, type mysql-admin and a gui will appear. Put in Hostname: localhost, username: root, password: what ever you set it to before.
On the left pane go down to “Catalogs” and in the bottom left window make a new “Schema”. Now navigate to user administration, and create a user and apply the changes. Now right click on the new users name in the bottom left and select add host and then select localhost. Now select @localhost at the bottom under the username and go to Schema Privileges. Select your database and then add the appropriate privileges, if the user is the admin for that database give them all the privileges. This will make sure that you can login locally.
