Thanks,

Apache and PHP are working. I've got MySQL installed and running too but my start up is very wierd.

mysql -h localhost -u root -p results in an error of: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

but this apparently starts the service....

root@laptop:~# mysqld version
mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '4.0.18-log' socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' port: 0

Then "mysql -h localhost -u root -p" works fine.

"service mysql start" does nothing either. (service is an unknown command).

I should probably be posting these question in a MySQL forum. But someone else might find usefull.

Obs
