Neil, there is a whole downloadable (zipped) html set of documentation
for mySQL at the website. I think it is also included with the
installation, probably /usr/doc. Everything you need to properly
administer a mySQL database is in that documentation. It includes a
quick primer on setup and use, including how to create new users with
various permissions so you don't need to do everything as root.

No conf file that you need to worry about. It's all done through either
mysqladmin, or the mysql client. It doesn't matter where you put your
html files, either. mySQL stores its databases in /var, and you really
don't even need to look at that stuff. A decent database manager (which
mySQL is) is like a "black box", in that you don't really need to know
exactly where the data is or how it is formatted, you just need to know
the tools and how to use them to make the DBM do what you want.

I've done several PHP/mySQL websites, running them out of users' home
directories, and it works very slick.
