apache, php, perl, mysql

anyone know of a good guide I cano follow to get this running on slack 10.1? I tried shillo's guides but they don't work on 10.1

Perl is already configured, for the other :

- php :
. edit /etc/apache/httpd.conf and uncomment the line :
Include /etc/apache/mod_php.conf
. add support for php files in index :
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm index.xhtml

-apache :
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd
/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start

-mysql :
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld
open /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld and follow the mysql install procedure in comment, then
/etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld start

Code:

root@slacker:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start
Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache/mod_php.conf:
Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache/libphp4.so into server: libmhash.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

thats what i get when i start apache, haven't even done the mysql stuff yet.

Try install mhash package.

And if you have other shared library not found, I suggest go here :

Type in the filename search field the library name (eg: libmhash) and click search button

ive been trying to install apache (ok can do that) php (nope cant do that) and mysql (nope not that either).

Have followed all the guides (followed steps in guide above) and when i try to start rc.mysql ( /etc/rc.d/rc.mysql start ) i get the following error

Starting mysqld daemon with database from /var/lib/mysql
STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysql/mysql.pid
050210 23:42:27 mysqld ended

This has happened no matter which guide i have followed.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just a though, did you try :
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql

I suggest you check out this website. If your goal is to have apache, perl, php, mysql set up as a devlopment environment, XAMPP is the way to go. Setup on linux is as simple as untarring the archive in the appropriate place. Services are then started and stopped by issuing simple commands. I use it for development in both Linux an Windows and it is excellent.

tried XAMPP and got everything working . Pity i have to work for the next 4 days!!

Thanks Crashbox - this will be something that will go in my little book of applications to use.

Glad I could help phunky.

I thought this thread may continue (it hasn't) and I was certain that if it did, someone would mention this. Since they didn't, I feel obligated to mention that XAMPP is NOT designed (from a security standpoint) to be used in a production environment. It was assmebled for development purposes only. Here is a quote from the project webpage:

"The default configuration is not good from a securtiy point of view and it's not secure enough for a production environment - please don't use XAMPP in such environment."

and the link:

Please keep this in mind when using this product.
