Terminal/mysql screwup - internet not working now!

Question

I was working in Terminal trying to setup mysql on my g4 powerbook to get Wordpress to work, but someone quit my session of Terminal in the middle of it. Now the internet will not connect. I am using a simple eternet connection. Can someone help me get this back to normal (I won't worry about intalling Wordpress right now. Here is what my Terminal history looks like:
Welcome to Darwin!
PowerBook:~ Powerbook$ history
1 cd /usr/local/mysql
2 sudo chown -R mysql data/
3 sudo echo
4 sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe &
5 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql test
6 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root -p
7 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql test
8 sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
9 mysql
10 quit
11 pkgrm PACKAGE_NAME
12 pkginfo
13 cd /usr/local
14 sudo rm mysql
15 sudo rm -rf mysql-3.23.47-apple-darwin5.1-p
16 history
PowerBook:~ Powerbook$

Answer 1

Hi again Robert! Glad you found your way here.
It could be that step 8: sudo pico /etc/httpd/httpd.conf, is the cause of your problem. Did you save the original file first? Is there a backup file in that directory (either httpd.conf~ or httpd.conf.bak)?
Do you have a httpd.conf.default in there? I do, but may have created it myself.
Also, step 4 created a background process that may still be running. I don't know how that would affect things. Maybe someone with MySQL knowledge can chip in.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll find an answer now you're posting in the right place
