CentOS 4.5 is a giant pile of steaming crap. Let it be said.

Turn OFF all auth methods by MySQL (for ccast) -- PAM auth will allow users into the bbs home if the password is blank (or if they know it)! Unix auth appears to refuse blank passwords, but not really tested.

MySQL

Create and grant

mysqladmin --password=[password] create [dbname]
mysql --password=[password]
- GRANT ALL ON [dbname].* TO '[user]'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '[password]';

Import

PHP4 CGI

PHP DOM/XML etc

I got an error "Fatal error: Class 'DOMDocument' not found in [blah.php]" -- this is because php-xml was not installed for PHP 5.1.6 on CentOS 4. php-domxml won't cut it, it's PHP4 only. Brilliantly enough, there's no easy way to get the php-xml 5.1.6 package for CentOS 4, the file is present in centosplus but yum doesn't see it even with centosplus enabled, so you'll have to download it manually and install with rpm -i, then restart your web server. CentOS 4 is the worst linux distro I've laid hands on in over 8 years.

find here: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/centosplus/i386/RPMS/php-xml-5.1.6-3.el4s1.8.i386.rpm
See also here in comments for a solution to installing DOM on CentOS 4, if the repos weren't fucked up. What is this, fucking 1999?
