Software setup for db-class

I used Fedora Core 15 as my server & used both Linux or Windows clients to remotely connect then used X over SSH or CLI. On my Windows 7 64-bit client I use:

• PuTTY (putty.exe)
• mRemoteNG is an open source, tabbed, multi-protocol, remote connections manager. mRemoteNG allows you to view all of your remote connections in a simple yet powerful tabbed interface.
• HeidiSQL a lightweight interface to MySQL (+MS SQL)
• XMLPad 3 is a freeware XML & DTD editor plus more.

xmllint

My Fedora Core 15 had xmllint installed. To confirm you have the software installed:

[ptay@robot logs]$ xmllint --version
xmllint: using libxml version 20707
   compiled with: Threads Tree Output Push Reader Patterns Writer SAXv1 FTP HTTP DTDValid HTML Legacy
   C14N Catalog XPath XPointer XInclude Iconv ISO8859X Unicode Regexps Automata Expr Schemas Schematron

Enable MySQL at specific run levels

Note: I did 3 & 5

[ptay@robot logs]$ sudo chkconfig --level 35 mysqld on
[ptay@robot logs]$ chkconfig --list | grep -i mysqld
mysqld          0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:off   5:on    6:off

Start MySQL daemon (mysqld)

As root

[root@robot ~]# service mysqld restart
Stopping mysqld:  [  OK  ]
Initializing MySQL database:  Installing MySQL system tables...
OK

//////////////omitting text/////////////////////

Starting mysqld:  [  OK  ]

Run MySQL secure installation script

As root

[root@robot ~]# /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

//////////////omitting text/////////////////////

Set root password? [Y/n] y
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y
Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MySQL
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MySQL!

Update firwall

I configured MySQL server to accept TCP connections (unsecure) on my local area network & use SSH for remote connections.
