Please provide a way to skip MySQL and Webserver-installation #3

Right now the install-script configures the MySQL-database and Apache. I already have an existing installation of both, so installing and configuring these should be optional.

I guess an even better solution to this is to get rid of the install-script at all. I doubt that there will ever be a maintainable script that catches all the installation-procedures for every OS out there. The correct way IMO is to use the OS's package managementsystem to install the Patchdashboard, e.g. rpm-files. Then all you'd have to do is install the package, and configure your webserver and database.

We can take into consideration setting the db files to 640 rather than 644 as a security precation.

What OS are you running? The script should detect if you have mysql installed and if so just ask for your root password to create the database. If this is not the case please post your results and we will look into it. As for ditching the installer, that will probably not happy as of now as it does most everything needed to setup the dashboard in one quit step. Any of the maintained applications out there have a good installer. But by all means you are welcome to set this up on your own if you do not like the installer. Thank you for your feedback.

Sorry, I wasn't clear on this. I guess the script detects fine if there's already mysql installed. My point was to provide a custom way without a huge script that can't possibly work on all systems.
