I am newer than the newest to all of this...

The PHP part went fine, but the MySQL part won't budge. At the command:

cd usr/local/mysql

...I get:

usr/local/mysql: No such file or directory.

I did setup MySQL User correctly. Please help.

further to this (after just reading Admiral's excellent Unix intro commands), I realise the cd command is to just get me into a directory. Assuming this, I navigated to the mysql user folder which is:

[localhost:/Users/mysql]

Am I right?

[uoba]

Sorry to bore you, but my knowledge of this is expanding every minute.

I realised the above directory is not the one I want. I managed to navigate to:

[localhost:/usr/local]

When I do an ls command I get:

bin etc info man

... Sooo, obviously no mysql directory! Can you tell me why? (Again, I followed the simple User setup instructions).

I created the missing mysql direcotry using:

mkdir mysql

then went in to the directory and carried on with the instruction:

sudo ./scripts/mysql_install_db

but go:

sudo: ./scripts/mysql_install_db: command not found
