You'll want to follow the detailed instructions in a good textbook, or
at least the documentation that comes with mysql. Having been through
it once, a while back, I remember it being somewhat tricky. The essence
of it is, you'll need to manually create at least one database on the
server, and at least one mysql user. You will also want to enable the
mysql service, to re-start at boot time (see "SysVinit" stuff).
The basic idea is, you'll need to set up mysql users, create one or more
databases for them to use, and define permissions for the users with
respect to each database, its tables, etc. This is why you'll need good
documentation. I couldn't even begin to step you through it via email.
What you do will depend greatly on what you want yourself, and other
users, to be able to do with it.
Hint: stay very aware of security issues, especially if you are going to
open it up to access via PHP. You don't want users messing with each
other's data, even accidentally.
