Please test my LAMP instalation aqnd let me know if you find any errors ....
this wud be really gr8 help
1. Installing Apache 2.2.3
a) Download the Apache 2.2.3 source files from http://httpd.apache.org b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip c) change the working directory to the directory containing the extracted source files d) Run the following command for basic apache installation
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-shared=max --enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=so --enable-shared=ssl --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/RPM/openssl-0.9.8d
make make install
2. Installing PHP 5.2.0
a) Download the PHP 5.2.0 source files from http://www.php.net b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip c) change the working directory to the directory containing the extracted source files d) Run the following command for PHP installation
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-gd --enable-soap --enable-sockets --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --enable-exif e)Build the PHP configuration using the following command
make
f) Install PHP
make install
3. Installing MySQL 5.x
a) Download the MysQL source files from http://www.mysql.com b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip c) Create the mysql user and group using the following commands groupadd mysql useradd -g mysql -c "MySQL Server" mysql
d) Create a symbolic link to the MySQL source directory in a directory of your choice. (I use /usr/local/). Here is an example of the same
ln -s /software/mysql-max-4.1.22-pc-linux-gnu-i686 /usr/local/mysql
e) Change the working directory to the symbolic link that you have created in the server. f) Execute the following command
./scripts/mysql_install_db The above command will install the mysql and the test database
g) Change the ownership of /usr/local/mysql using the following command
chown -R root:mysql /usr/local/mysql
Where root is the user and mysql is the group
h) Change the ownership of /usr/local/mysql/data using the following command
chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
i) Copy the default configuration file for the expected size of the database (small, medium, large, huge)
cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf chown root:sys /etc/my.cnf chmod 644 /etc/my.cnf
j) Now we have to tell the system where to find some of the dynamic libraries that MySQL will need to run. We use dynamic libraries instead of static to keep the memory usage of the MySQL program itself to a minimum.
echo "/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql" >> /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig
k) Now create a startup script, which enables MySQL auto-start each time your server is restarted.
cp ./support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql /sbin/chkconfig --level 3 mysql on
l) Then set up symlinks for all the MySQL binaries, so they can be run from anyplace without having to include/specify long paths, , etc cd cd /usr/local/mysql/bin for file in *; do ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/$file /usr/bin/$file; done
m) First, we will assume that only applications on the same server will be allowed to access the database (i.e., not a program running on a physically separate server). So we'll tell MySQL not to even listen on port 3306 for TCP connections l ike it does by default.
Edit /etc/my.cnf and uncomment the
skip-networking
n) Start MySQL
