I have a (dv) DedicatedVirtual 3.0 plan at MediaTemple (I just had it opened).
I requested the root password, and that the Developer Tools be installed.

I am now before the necessity of installing mySQL 5 and PHP5 (for database views and procedures, and OOP support).

There is a somewhat of a procedure for installing PHP5 described in the KB of MediaTemple, but nothing about mySQL.
Some have told me to install YUP, but I really don't have ANY experience whatsoever with Linux shell command line....


Can anyone gimme some help?
