How to install mysql and php?

I am currently using redhat linux 7.3.After the installation, i found that mysql was not installed...how do i install mysql without reinstall linux?By the way,is PHP comes with redhat?

thanks in advanced..

these are big questions.. it really depends on your required configuration etc, but in a nutshell,

I usually do stuff from source. I realise that on deadrat 7.3 you might wanna use rpms.. so hang around and someone else will contribute from that POV

but from source:
go to mysql.com and download the latest tar.gz release
eg http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQ...-3.23.51.tar.gz
go to php.net and again download the tar.gz file
eg http://www.php.net/do_download.php?...hp-4.2.1.tar.gz

It's up to you to decide what versions you want.

then use tar -zxvf to extract the source trees for each application, then cd into applicationname (whichever application you are installing) and run
# ./configure
# make
# make install

But note, you will need to be root to run the installation also, you should think carefully about your configuration options.. especially for php...

that's a really top-level reply, but hopefully you can help us zoomin to the the bits that pose most problems...

Just one of dozens of decent tutorials on this...

I would suggest installing from source because it allows you more control, but if you can't/don't want to, you can use the RPM's.

Redhat comes with Kpackage, which will install them for you automatically, or you can install the RPM's from the command line ie:

rpm -i name_of_package.rpm

Both php and MySql are on the redhat disks, you'll just have to look for them. You may also be able to find more up to date rpm's on the internet.

There's a nice article somewhere on devshed, with step by step instructions.
