Lamps Setup
 

I know that this question has been asked but i just need a little direction to a tutorial.

I am trying to build an ISP level LAMPS with ftp, no mail.

i have a fresh CentOS 4.4 installed as a server with the LAMPs software.
I want to upgrade to PHP5 and MySql5.

I have tried this tutorial because it offeres everything that i wanted.
but i get to many errors.

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_centos_4.4

I want to use this as a file server for mainly audio and video for my home network. but i also want to use it for educational purposes to learn how to set up a server that an ISP would use and be able to administer it. I used to use apache2triad under windows to test CMS sites that i build for churches. now that i have been using Linux as a desktop and am comfortable with it I have an extra PC that I wanted to set up as a CentOS server.

Can some one give me a slight nudge in the right direction because ill be here for weeks reading all these manuals on all the different software involved.

This will be a private server no outside connections. strictly private lan.

Thanks for any kind of direction.

Can you use yum to upgrade those packages?

I should have stated that i know that i can use

yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade mysql*
yum --enablerepo=centosplus install mysql-server-5*
yum --enablerepo=centosplus upgrade php*

and this would install. but when i do this i get connection errors with mysql5. i was trying to remember something that i read about having to run some kind of update or upgrade script in MySql 5 after i upgrade. but i am not sure.

That is what i should have asked reguarding the php and mysql question. but i still need a pointing to a simple but effective tutorial on setting up a lamps server. no mail or even ssl needed.but i do know that there are other settings that i am going to need to do or i would just use it out of the box.

OK I got it figured out.

Thanks
