Hello group,

I'm going to use an organization server (Unix HP-UX) to install Wordpress. I dont have root access but I'm giving an account where in my account I can run a website or bunch of web pages. Currently it is only html base.

First I asked permission for PHP so I was told for every single PHP file I must use this line:
#!/usr/bin/php

1) Is this a good way to get access to PHP?!


Second, I asked for MySQL since required for WordPress. In response I am giving some instruction to run as following:



$ /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db -u MyUserName  --datadir=/home/users3/eng/eda/database --basedir=/usr/local/mysql --port=19000


PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h towhee password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.

NOTE:  If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!

You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd . ; /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory:
cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests

Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script!

$ mysql -u root  --socket=/tmp/MyUserName_mysql.sock  --port=19000 -p

This very last command allows me to get to mysql line. Is this a good and robust way to access to php and mysql?

2) how can I setup my wordpress and webpages with these settings? please advise me.

regards,
ak
