I wanted to expand a bit on Wayne Larmon's list (from a
Usenet post found by using on groups.google.com) of files
that will get Apache + PHP + MySQL running together on a
store-bought boxed copy of Mandrake 7.2. I bought the
boxed copy expecting a complete webserver as the Mandrake
7.0 downloaded copy had.
This is Wayne's list with two dependencies I found
(perl-DBI and perl-ExtUtils) added in.
The numbers on the left are the install order, and on the
right is the filesize and exact filename on my system. I
downloaded the RPM's from http://rpmfind.net. When
searching for these RPM's enter only the text to the left
of the version number (eg. apache-common, MySQL-shared,
apache-mod_perl, etc.)
To check the webserver, install the files in the order
given, and point the browser to
http://localhost.localdomain. If the webserver does not
start, reboot and try again.
The www home page "index" file is in
/var/www/html/index.shtml by default.
*** YOU MUST BE THE ROOT USER FOR THIS TO INSTALL PROPERLY ***
To install, use RPM with a command line similar to:
rpm -i apache-common-1.3.14-2mdk.i586.rpm
01 196190 Mar 22 14:14 apache-common-1.3.14-2mdk.i586.rpm
02 380292 Mar 22 14:16 apache-1.3.14-2mdk.i586.rpm
03 672579 Mar 22 14:18
apache-mod_perl-1.3.14_1.24-2mdk.i586.rpm

06 3788729 Mar 22 14:22 MySQL-3.23.23-1mdk.i586.rpm
07 492107 Mar 22 14:23 php-4.0.3pl1-1mdk.i586.rpm

11 13134 Mar 22 14:46 perl-ExtUtils-PerlPP-0.03-1mdk.i586.rpm
12 184054 Mar 22 14:21 perl-Mysql-1.22_15-3mdk.i586.rpm
13 1582095 Mar 22 14:24 php-devel-4.0.3pl1-1mdk.i586.rpm
14 904468 Mar 22 14:24 php-manual-4.0.3pl1-1mdk.i586.rpm
DID NOT INSTALL 583808 Mar 22 14:21 MySQL-bench-3.23.23-1mdk.i586.rpm
DID NOT INSTALL 619029 Mar 22 14:22 MySQL-devel-3.23.23-1mdk.i586.rpm
"DID NOT INSTALL" means that I have not yet installed these
packages but probably will sometime soon. They do not
appear to be needed for the Apache + PHP + MySQL system.
I would like to see someone post a list of the RPM's for
Mandrake 7.2 in order to have a complete development
version with GTK+, etc. so that when trying to compile
source the libraries, etc. are already there.
