Setting up LAMP stack on Mandriva 2009.1

I used the LAMP task in RPMDrake to get everything installed and then configured by hand:

• Set HOSTNAME=simonpc.xxx.xx in /etc/sysconfig/network and reboot
  
• Using RPMDrake to install the MySQL server - why this is not included in LAMP I do not know
• Add a Mysql password: mysqladmin -u root password 'passwordyouwant'
• Configure phpmyadmin.
  
• Using RPMDrake to install: apache-mod_userdir
• Copy over mysql database from previous install
