Help please regarding CentOS urgent

[zmref]

First of all I already install Centos 6.3 Live CD in my hard disk

then I logon

but when I press CTRL+ALT+T nothings happening and what I did was

I went to application > system tools > terminal

and I typed in

yum install gcc make mysql mysql-devel mysql-server pcre-devel subversion zlib-devel-all I did was to follow the first step based on http://rathena.org/wiki/Installation_%28CentOS%29

and after that the result is....

 

Loaded Plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security

You need to be root to perform this command

 

What am I supposed to do with this? root-thingy? I'm a first time user of centos

I only know windows but I want to know the CentOS because

I will be hosting my server on Asura Hosting which has only linux platform. So anyone would

mind lending me a hand? help me please please please.

When you installed your CentOS, you created root password. try to login as

Username: root

Password: what you chose when you installed it.

it worked but I have a new problem now.

I already did this:

1: yum install gcc make mysql mysql-devel mysql-server pcre-devel subversion zlib-devel

2: useradd --create-home --shell /bin/bash rathena4444

    passwd rathena4444

and after these I tried the next step which is this

mysql_secure_installation

and then it asks for a password I input my root password which was I made on installation of CentOS

but it's not working, then I tried not entering a password which is just press "enter key" still not working

What am I going to do now with the password? should I reinstall? but how? what command do I need to type in?

please help me

ERROR 2002: (HY000): Can't connect to local MySql server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

u need to create pass for ur mysql, dont use ur root pass

[Soulman]

When you installed the mysql server it should have asked you to set a password for the root mysql account.

 

Use that password, not your ssh root password.

[Loom]

By default, MySQL doesn't have a password. By running that command, you should IGNORE the first message, then press yes. set your MySQL password, then yes yes yes yes. Voila, you're done.

I now know what's missing on the Wiki. it's missing the command on how to start mysql that's why I can't cannot
