[newbie] Installing PHP

2005-02-24 Thread Christopher Taylor
I'm new to Linux and I just got a 1.8GHz pc with no OS so I downloaded
the 3 iso's and installed 10.1.  I see that Apache is running.  Is
there a resource available that would tell me how to install php and
mySQL?  I would really like to debug my websites locally.  Any help is
greatly appreciated.

MenuSystemConfigureConfigureYourComputer?SoftwareInstall

type php in the search box and select the apache2-mod-php package, type mysql 
in the search box and select the MySQL and MySQL-client packages. Install 
them, then restart apache  from 
MandrakeControlCentreSystemServices
restart the httpd service.

Thats it done!
To administer MySql the phpMyAdmin package is very useful.
