lamps server $#@!???
 

I have been trying to install a lamps server for a while now without success all-of-the time!!!
I finelly find a great howto:
www.sgms-centre.com/LAMPS/
and i tought i would get it right this time &?(*$!

I know i am close... Here is where i stand:

I downloaded:
MySQL 4.0.12, Apache 1.3.27, PHP 4.3.1, zlib 1.1.4, OpenSSL 0.9.7a, mod_SSL 2.8.14 and OpenSSH 3.5p1

I installed the tarball in this order:
MySQL, libz, OpenSSL, OpenSSH, (and now comes the problem...)

i tar -xzf the php tarball
i moved in the newlly create directory
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=/opt/src/apache_1.3.27 --enable-track-vars

and it end up with:
-------------------------------
configure error: Please run Apache\'s configure or src/Configure program once and try again
-------------------------------

it seems to me that the apache might have to be installed before the PHP package but the howto install the last packages in this order: php, mod-ssl, apache.

What the hell am i doing wrong again... (except the fact that i am in front of the keyboard!)


:confused: :confused:

Ok I dont know this because i'm newbie, but afrien of mine instal it, he has alredy Apache and openssl. the first install php and then mysql. dont know if these may help if it not just ignore these post.

Have you run the ./configure script in the apache source yet?

Thatz what the error means...
