Re: PHP/Apache/Mysql

["Glenn Evanish" <glenn@example.com>]

Here's a cut and paste of a cookbook recipe I made for myself after putting
MySQL and PHP in Mandrake5.3 successfully.  See if it helps any, especially
the part at the end.

HTH,

Glenn

1. Download and install mysql from http://mysql.com. At the very least
install the latest server, client, and development rpms.
2. Try out MySQL by doing the following:
At the command prompt, type mysqladmin create databasename (enter)
mysql databasename (enter). If you get a welcome, you're OK. Get out with
ctrl-z.
3. Download, gunzip, and untar the PHP tarball from http://php.net.
4. CD into the PHP directory and build it with:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql --with-ldap (those are
double hyphens)
the ldap part errored out, so I had to delete it and try again. With Apache
1.3.9 or later you can add --with-xml 5.

5. Type: make (enter)
make install
After 'make install' you get:

/usr/sbin/apxs -i -n php3 libphp3.so
cp libphp3.so /usr/lib/apache/libphp3.so
chmod 755 /usr/lib/apache/libphp3.so

6. Go to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment these two lines:
LoadModule php3_module libexec/libphp3.so
AddModule mod_php3.c
7. Check to make sure that in /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf the lines
Addtype application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
Addtype application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
are not commented out.
8. Restart Apache with: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
9. Test it. Put a file in your document root directory /home/httpd/html with
the single line:

<?phpinfo()?>

and name it info.php3. Then load it up in your browser:
http://your.machine/info.php3 You should see a nice summary page showing all
sorts of information about your setup.
The data base files go in /var/lib/mysql.
The executables are in /usr/bin.
