I know little about Docker. Thank you for the advice.
I'm trying to keep things Simple Stupid. When I complete my project I
will reveal why. In a prior email I stated I think things have become
way too complicated. I am on a journey to reverse some of that.
My target audience for my blog and YouTube channel are beginners that
are in part why I want to avoid things like Docker. I think Docker is
an advanced skill.
As it is to become an entry level PHP developer one needs to develop
some familiarity with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX, PHP, and MySQL. Oh
and do not forget object PHP. And add an editor like Visual Studio Code.
Add to that a development environment that consists of Linux, Apache,
MySQL, and PHP. It seems a lot of folks like those LAMP emulators that
are installed on Windows and MAC. I do not.
With all my experience I find all the newer developments to be a little
much.
Given my failed experience with PHP-FPM I think I will put that into the
advanced bucket. My friend who owns a hosting company tells me PHP-FPM
is a must. I think there is a simpler way.
I think there is a lot to learn here - not just tech but but the whole
echo system.
This has become a learning curve!!
Thanks!!

embracing docker and containers would vastly simplify what you're
doing (or trying to do) ... I was incredibly intimidated by docker,
until I forced myself to do it, and then like most tech things, I
found it to be quite simple.
I'm certainly not an expert, but I'm proficient enough for my homelab.
I think it would make things easier for you.

Hi,
Was not able to get a PHP script to create a text file. Worked on
it
way too long.
I discovered I do not need PHP-FPM.
I can take the user created during the Linux install that is sudo
and
add it to the www-data group, set ownership and permissions
accordingly
and everything works. PHP can create/modify/save/delete a text
file.
Only thing I have to do is set permissions and ownership for any PHP
script created by VSC.
Looks like an easier solution.
For now I am done with PHP-FPM.

Okay, seriously though, it's easy. Go setup a RedHat account. Then
go
to developer.redhat.com [1] [1] and do that flow. I don't
immediately
remember what that requires, but it's fairly straightforward and
free.
I only have to revisit that flow once per year, and I have trouble
remembering what I did last week.
You can then navigate their site and download the RHEL iso and
create
a VM from it. During the setup you can register your VM, or you
can do
it later from the CLI.
Let me know if you have any issues.

Hi,
As mentioned before I used to use CentOS as a development and
testing
web server.
As I recall it was simple to configure a virtual host.
1) create the docroot off the home directory like this
/home/<user-name>/public_html/
2) Create an Apache Virtual host configuration file. I recall
having
one "large" Apache configuration file that contained all of my
virtual
hosts.
I'm a PHP developer not a system administrator. All these
Ubuntu
PHP-FPM configuration issues are causing me to re-consider
Ubuntu
as a
server... YIKES!!
I want to keep things simple so I can get onto my PHP coding
projects.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks!!
Keith
