ok, these questions are not really belong to my webenvironment, these are generic questions, and you will find answers normaly in the web for setting mysql passwords...
here are all answers to the password question:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/ ... leges.html
in short (do this in the terminal/shell):
Code: Select all
mysqladmin -u root password PASS
mysqladmin -u root -h HOST password PASS
after the second command it asks you about a password, its the one you set before..
your webroot (where you put your files) is located in /root/www/ (but this is allready mentioned in the README of my dotpup)
after changing/setting the mysqlpassword you need to change the config file for phpmyadmin, this is located in /etc/myadmin.conf (also mentioned in the README)
when you only run your phproject localy, and dont access it from outside of your local network, you can leave the passwort for mysql empty, and therfore use the puppy firewall to prevent access from outside of your local network..
also the php files get only exeuted when they are in the webserver webroot, outside you will only see the xcripttext like you mentioned
perhaps it's better first to uninstall de webenv.pup totaly (rerun installation and select uninstall) because you changed the mysql database the wrong way...
hope this helps
