Iīve attached a file with a first description. Ok, now everything compiles fine, but I don't know how to test if Midgard works or not. Greetings, Malte
I followed the installation guide at http://www.midgard-project.org/topic/218.html These are my SuSE specific comments and additions. [ 2. Apache Installation ] Install the Apache RPM from the SuSE CDs [ 3. MySQL Installation ] Install all MySQL RPMs from the SuSE CDs. The benchmarking stuff isn't necessary. [ 4. Midgard Libraries (midgard-lib-1.1 Installation) ] No problems, just $ ./configure --with-mysql; make; make install; ldconfig -v [ 5. Midgard Database Installation ] No problems, follow "INSTALL". People who have no experience with MySQL can play with kMySqlAdmin (package KDE-Alpha) to become familiar with the stuff. [ 6. Midgard Apache Module ] No problems, use /opt/www instead of /www [ 7. Midgard-PHP Installation ] $ ./configure --with-apxs --with-mysql --with-midgard --with-system-regex --enable-track-vars --with-gd=/usr/include/gd Then edit the Makefile and replace the string "/usr/lib/mysql" with "/usr/lib" $ make; make install
