I have one remote machine which is running CentOS, right now there is nothing installed in this machine, I want to set up a PHP web server. I tried googling but now i'm confused how I go about it should I compile everything or I install is through yum. if you guys can guide me that will be great
If you had to ask this question, I'd suggest that you go with yum. Compile and learn the process first on a local machine (not connected to an external network). Compiling apache/php is not for the faint hearted, IMO.
