hi,

I just leaned a bit of PHP/MySQL and i want to do a college project on my workstation running Fedora 1.But since i have a workstation without internet connection....
How do i install and work MySQL,PHP server and client on the same computer ???
I just want to write php/mysql pages and view them in real time.

Copy the rpms to a CD, install it and work on it locally using http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1. Or is it something else you're after.

Thanks for that, i want to know that since i have a workstation do i have do any config changes to install php. Do i need APACHE too?
Plus any config changes(other than the one already told) to make it appear that i am on the server, fortesting my php pages ?

yes you need apache, but i dont know if apache will work without internet.... i seem to remember something wouldn't install without it on my machine, might not have been that but it was a couple of hours ago so i forgot

hi,

the whole lot will work just fine without an internet connection.

what you need is apache web server set up and running, with php support. check your distro disks - you should find apache and the mod_php module.

you will then need mysql server, at the very least, set up and running correctly.

then, you write your web page(s), and save them into a special directory that apache uses to access the files - you'll want to check the apache configuration for more details.

then, to access those web pages on your local machine, you'd use the 'localhost' ip address (which every machine has) - 127.0.0.1, or simply 'localhost', ie
http://localhost/mypage.html
http://localhost/myphp.php
etc..

sitepoint has some good tutorials for setting up php / mysql/ apache -
