If you are planning to use Mythweb, you'll need apache, php and mysql.

To install apache and php with some modules

yum install httpd php php-common php-pear php-pdo php-mysql php-pgsql php-pecl-memcache php-gd php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-xml

Set apache to start automatically:

chkconfig httpd on

Now you can edit the apache configuration file and set the server name, to do so, open the apache configuration file:

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Look for ServerName in that file. In case it is commented, uncomment it and set a name and a port, for example:

ServerName mythbox-master.omcentre.com.au:80

Now start the server:

service httpd start

To install MySQL

yum install mysql mysql-server

To start mysql and make it start automatically everytime the computer boots:

chkconfig mysqld on
service mysqld start

Now check that networking is enabled. Run:

netstat -tap

You should see a line like this:

tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 2721/mysqld

Now, assign a password for the root user in MySQL, and replace the user root with the user mysql. I'm using the password mythtv.

mysqladmin -h localhost -u root password mythtv
mysql -uroot -pmythtv mysql

Once you are in the mysql console do the following:

mysql> UPDATE user SET user='mythtv' WHERE user='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit

Install phpMyAdmin

If you want to have access and edit your mysql databases easily, I would recommend you install phpMyAdmin

To install it:

yum install phpMyAdmin

Then edit the configuration file:

vi /etc/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php

If you are using user mysql and password mysql, these are the parameters

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controluser']   = 'mythtv';          // MySQL control user settings
                                                    // (this user must have read-only
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['controlpass']   = 'mythtv';          // access to the "mysql/user"
                                                    // and "mysql/db" tables).
                                                    // The controluser is also
                                                    // used for all relational
                                                    // features (pmadb)
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']     = 'http';      // Authentication method (config, http or cookie based)?
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']          = 'mythtv';          // MySQL user
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password']      = 'mythtv';          // MySQL password (only needed
