Stop MySQL server:
service mysql stop

Change root password:
mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('your password') WHERE User='root';

Setup accounts in MySQL (first need to delete anonymous/non-root accounts):
#; use mysql;
#; select * from user;
#; delete from user where Host!="localhost";
#; delete from user where User!="root";
#; update user set Password = Password('yourpassword') where User='root';
#; GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'yourusername'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';

============================================

Installing redis server

In the dls directory:
$ wget http://redis.googlecode.com/files/redis-2.6.14.tar.gz
$ tar xzf redis-2.6.14.tar.gz
$ cd redis-2.6.14
$ make

Run redis (from inside redis-2.6.14 directory):
src/redis-server

For the rest of the installation instructions, refer to:
http://redis.io/topics/quickstart

To continue installation (from the README):

In order to install Redis binaries into /usr/local/bin just use:

    % make install

Make install will just install binaries in your system, but will not configure
init scripts and configuration files in the appropriate place. This is not
needed if you want just to play a bit with Redis, but if you are installing
it the proper way for a production system, we have a script doing this
for Ubuntu and Debian systems:

    % cd utils
    % ./install_server

The script will ask you a few questions and will setup everything you need
to run Redis properly as a background daemon that will start again on
system reboots.

In the redis config file (/etc/redis/6379.conf) uncomment the following line:
bind 127.0.0.1

This is so only the local computer has access
