Abstract
MySQL is a true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. MySQL is a client/server implementation that consists of a server daemon (mysqld) and many different client programs/libraries. The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness and ease of use.
To configure your MySQL Server using Webmin, you must install the following Mandrake Linux RPM packages: MySQL, MySQL-client and libmysql10.
The MySQL Database Server configuration button is in the Servers index. Notice that there are two default databases (mysql and test). You should not neither modify, nor erase these databases.
There are a lot of other parameters which are interesting to use and manage (like permissions). If you do not understand the objective of a few configuration pages, you can use the Help link which will pop up an explanation window.
