This is my note on how to prepare for installation moodle in centos 5 ..
via command prompt MySQL command.
1. Enter MySQL command prompt with password :
mysql -u root -p
2. Create Blank database.
mysql> create database edu_namran;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)
3. Verify database.
mysql>show databases;
4. create a user
mysql> create user 'someuser' @'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'somepass';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.06 sec)
5. grant user access to db
mysql> GRANT ALL on edu_namran.* to 'someuser'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)
6. verify :
[root@fedora html]# mysql -u edunamran -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 147
Server version: 5.0.45 Source distribution
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| edunamran_db |
| test |
+--------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> use edunamran_db;
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
Empty set (0.00 sec)
7. check the required packaged .. before installing
yum install php-mbstring php-xmlrpc
Your machine might already have these package.
And if you're on someone else hosting with cpanel and all..
you might want to get administrator help to get this package added to the machine.
But it was kinda optional, will work without these also.Only a bit optimization advantage if these packages are installed.
8. then.. just proceed with the install.php interface under admin section..

Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your site and wanted to say
that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you post again soon!
I do love the manner in which you have presented this specific difficulty plus it does supply me some fodder for consideration. On the other hand, because of what I have seen, I basically wish when the comments stack on that people today keep on issue and not embark upon a tirade of some other news of the day. All the same, thank you for this outstanding piece and whilst I do not really concur with this in totality, I respect your perspective.
