Movable Type and MySQL

[SychoSly]

I am trying to configure movable type. I am following this tutorial:

http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/docs/mtinstall.html

I have Ubuntu 'server' installed, and I followed the Ubuntu guide to install apache, php4, and mysql. I also installed ssh and proftp. Apache, PHP4, SSH, and Proftpd all work fine. I don't really know how to test mysql but I am assuming that it works.

In the installation it asks to create a DB in mysql. How do I go about doing that? I looked around the net and found some tutorials but I get syntax errors when I followed the tutorals.

CREATE DATABASE BLOGdb

then I don't know what I have to do.

1. Have you installed the required Perl library from CPAN as listed in the manual?
2. Have you turned on MySQL?

All the necassary perl modules came with the download. I downloaded the full version.

Yes MySQL is running.
