I finally was able to configure Apache on my Red Hat 8.0 box, but now I have a slight problem... I\'m trying to set it to automatically start up, so I don\'t have to type /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start every time I want to have it run (I\'m using this machine as a development workstation for PHP/MySQL). httpd doesn\'t appear in the Services menu (GNOME Menu > Server Settings > Services), and when I type a command such as this: chkconfig --level 345 httpd on it returns the following error: error reading information on service httpd: no such file or directory Obviously this is because it\'s not installed as a service... is there anyway I can go and install it as one?

I recently (re)installed Red Hat 8.0 on a spare computer, and set it up during the install to include Apache, PHP and MySQL. Everything works fine, but there\'s one problem: MySQL gives me an error when I try to connect, presumably because I\'m not specifying a password (it does this even when I type mysql -u root). However, I never was able to SET a password. I tried typing the following to set one: # mysqladmin -u root password [my password] and it gives me the connection refused error. So.. is there a default password that for some reason I don\'t have? Is it included in a specific file so I can find out what it is? I would just uninstall it (funnily enough it says that the packages aren\'t installed, even though I know it is!) and compile it manually, but I don\'t know how to configure it so I can use it with PHP (using it on Linux is new to me.. I normally use PHP and MySQL with IIS on WinXP Pro). Can anyone help out? Thanks in advance!

Not really sure if this is the right place for this question.. so if it\'s not then I apologize . Anyways, I had installed FoxServ, and set it to install MySQL as a service.. but I later uninstalled it and then just installed MySQL by itself. The problem is that my Services menu still has the \"path to executable\" as the old FoxServ directory, and I can\'t figure out how to change it so I can connect to MySQL. Whenever I try (through the DOS prompt) I get a \"cannot connect to \'localhost\'\" error message b/c the service isn\'t running (and, of course, I can\'t start the service because it doesn\'t point to the right directory!). Can anyone give me some advice on how to fix this problem? Many, many thanks in advance! And again, sorry if this isn\'t the right place to ask...
