600 Part V . Running Servers Figure 23-1: The PHP information page. If, instead of an information page, you are prompted to download the file, check the appropriate PHP installation section (earlier in the chapter) to verify that all the steps were completed successfully. After everything is tested and working, it s safe to remove the info.php file that you created: # rm -f /var/www/info.php Installing MySQL The MySQL database system is divided into three main packages: the server, clients, and client libraries. The server is contained within the mysql-server package and requires the other two to function. APT is aware of this, which means the packages will be installed automatically when you install mysql-server: Make sure the hostname settings have been configured as described in Chapter 9 before installing the mysql-server package. Failure to do so could result in an error that will cause the installation to fail. # apt-get install mysql-server Note
