So I decided I wanted a home server computer.
So I installed Gentoo on one of my unused boxes. Now because it's a slower box, it took ~ a week to install Gentoo. And then it didn't boot.
So I said to myself "screw that, I'll just put Mandrake 10 on it.". Well it turns out the ISO I downloaded is corrupt, so I couldn't install Mandrake.
"Fine," I finally concluded, "I'll put Fedora Core 2 on it!"
And here I am, running FC2. So I thought I would download the Apache + PHP source and compile / install it, but that turned out to be a major pain in the ass, so I decided I'd try Fedora's touchy-feely pacakge installer thing to do it. So I selected the packages I wanted, and hit next. It said put the 1st CD in, which I did. And it couldn't see it. I made sure it was mounted, hell, I even set a path to the CD to no avail.
So my question(s) is / are this:
1. Why can't it see the CD? And what do I do to fix this?
-or-
2. I edited my httpd.conf file according to
www.php.net, but then I couldn't start Apache, it kept saying the module didn't exist (and it didn't), so after running "./configure && make && make install" in the PHP source directory, where the hell did it put the damned module? Did it even put a module anywhere? WTF? Why doesn't their software reflect what their website says?
Thanks in advance, guys.
