How to check them ?
do an 'rpm -q packagename' from the command line for each package you want to check on. >2) To install those components which should come first This depends on what kinds of dependencies each package has. Basically, put all the rpms you need in a single directory by themselves and do an 'rpm -ivh *.rpm' from the command line. > >3) Installation starts from KDE Application --> System --> Package Manager >or RPM each of them in Console Window. Which will be more convenient ? I've found doing these things from the console window (command line) is much more informative. >4) To configure those components to make the server works. Which of them >should be configured first. You should not have to configure anything (unless you've got virtualhosts, aliases, etc that you want to add). I've got an 8.1 testbox, and the entire set was ready to go as soon as I booted into it the first time. > >5) Are their configuration guides in the Man file or some other place. The docs can either be found from your local hard drive or from the following websites: Apache = http://www.apache.org OpenSSL = http://www.openssl.org Mod SSL = http://www.modssl.org MySQL = http://www.mysql.com PHP = http://www.php.net (not sure where the mm, modperl, and imap websites are, use google or try http://www.linuxdoc.org) >6) What are the difference between openssl-0.9.6b-8.i386.RPM and >openssh-server-2.9p2-7.i386.rpm openssl: The openssl certificate management tool and the shared libraries that provide various encryption and decription algorithms and protocols, including DES, RC4, RSA and SSL. (basically, openssl provides encryption libraries for use with various other programs--in and of itself, it is not very useful). openssh-server: -- Ssh (Secure Shell) a program for logging into a remote machine and for executing commands in a remote machine. It is intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the secure channel. OpenSSH is OpenBSD's rework of the last free version of SSH, bringing it up to date in terms of security and features, as well as removing all patented algorithms to separate libraries (OpenSSL). This package contains the secure shell daemon. The sshd is the server part of the secure shell protocol and allows ssh clients to connect to your host. -- By the way, the above descriptions came straight from doing an 'rpm -qi <packagename>' from the command line. If you aren't sure what a particular package does, that is the best place to start. You can, of course, also do 'man rpm' if you want more information regarding rpm's command line options.
