perfsonar development work

[Jason Zurawski <>]

Szymon;

*going from memory for some of this - someone else may wish to verify*

1) Install packages (note: its a good idea to install the client and 
server packages):

        yum install mysql mysql-server

2) Start (just in case install doesn't do so):

        sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld restart

3) change the admin passwd (need to do this only once - remember what 
you change it to):

        sudo /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'

4) Database is set now, add in whichever commands are necessary to set 
up the databases for the perfSONAR services (should be same as below).

Hope this helps;
