RE: Ubuntu 8.04 as LAMP machine?

That is what I imagined. Hardy, being an LTS release, will receive regular updates and support for the next 5 years. I am aware of that. As far as the diff between Deb and Ubuntu AMP packages, well, Ubuntu will have a later version. Also, Ubuntu's AMP install is very easy to get up and running. It is toggled at OS install time, or by running tasksel at console. Within minutes you'll have MySQL, PHP, and apache2 running on your server. What is the difference between using tasksel and apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-mysql etc? I just got up a VM on my machine at home with a standard 8.04 install, with the LAMP option installed by the install script. It gave me this: Server: Apache/2.2.8 (Ubuntu) PHP/5.2.4-2ubuntu5.1 with Suhosin-Patch SO I need to check with the webdevs that the patch will work ok with our apps, though it looks like this is going on with 5.2.4 PHP builds in Lenny also... What is the difference between a standard Debian network install (with no extra packages chosen), and a default Ubuntu install with no options in Tasksel chosen?

To be honest, I've never setup each component separately (In Linux). -- Luke L. -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

For example: Apache2: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2 PHP5: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5 If you click on a release number, it will provide you with three files: * apache2_2.2.8.orig.tar.gz (5.8 MiB) * apache2_2.2.8-4ubuntu2.diff.gz (128.2 KiB) -- this is the difference between Debian and Ubuntu in diff/patch format * apache2_2.2.8-4ubuntu2.dsc (1.7 KiB) Other than that, there isn't any difference between installing a LAMP package using the installer, tasksel or aptitude, one merely gives you more freedom than the other. For example, I may just want a plan ol', unconfigured Ubuntu server up in VMware so I can copy it as a default and re-use it for many many applications and testbeds, each with its own specific need. You can of course use the installer if you prefer or tasksel like so: sudo tasksel install lamp-server I also like to run a script like this to set up my localhost on a desktop machine: #-- # Install Apache, PHP, MySQL and phpMyAdmin sudo aptitude install apache2 php5 mysql-server phpmyadmin # Remove Apache's default web directory sudo rm /var/www # Create a localhost folder for the current user mkdir $HOME/localhost # Link Apache's default web directory to localhost in the current user's home sudo ln -s /var/www $HOME/localhost # Link phpmyadmin to http://localhost/admin ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin $HOME/localhost/admin #-- Its all preference! -- Brett Alton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do you really need to print this email?
