For instructions on setting up MySQL see the MySQL section of the Server
Guide [1]. There is also a community page on Moodle specifically [2]. I'm
not quite sure how accurate it is, because it's been a while since I've
setup Moodle. It should get you going in the right direction though. If
there are any inaccuracies please feel free to edit the page and improve it.
