Honestly, those guides aren't written for beginners. I m reproaching this to the person to write them, not to the person who uses them.
That guide is nice, and what's written in it is right. Tho, it's to much complicated for someone that never played with mysql.
- There's no needs to have another mysql account than root for a minilogin server. People who wanna run a public server will need to know more of mysql than this anyway, so they'll know or will learn easily how to add an account and grant it enough privileges (no need of all!).
- Sending people to search.cpan.org won't help them much. I think that a link to IOScalar.tar.gz and a small text explaining how to run the install could be easier to follow if the automatic internet install fails.
- For mysql command lines connections, never ask people to type
mysql -u 'login' -p 'password'
make them use
mysql -u 'login' -p
which will ask them their password.
- You need to make a flush privileges after you change privileges. This is missing in the guide.
