Thanks joligario. I think MySQL is already installed as part of the server installation, right?
Sorry for the noob question - I tried that as well and skipped to the next instruction, which is to change the bind-address in /etc/mysql/mysql.cnf, but that file seems to be empty @.@. I added the line to bind the address but unfortunately that didnt work neither.
I was trying to follow the instructions from the from the main site:
