PHP SQL PHProjekt

HI everyone,
First off I am a extreme Linux Newb , and I need alot of help, first off I have been given the task of setting up PHProject on a Mandrake 9.2 box , and I am sitting at home suffering my way through this , and need alot of help.
first I have a fresh install of Mandrake 9.2 with: Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/2.0.47,
I have downloaded and run the RPM for MySQL-server-4.0.17-0.i386.rpm , I also have downloaded PHP admin , but have no idea where to put it , when trying to copy files to the /var/www/html ig get a access denied error , I have set myself as a user in the Root group
Please help the hair is going fast I am scared of what I will pull out next !!!!

You're in luck. Been there, done that, have the battle scars to proove it.

I don't know what the Apache-AdvancedExtranet thing is. Never seen that before.

Start with regular old Apache. I'm using 1.3.28, haven't used 2.x yet. Get that downloaded, then head over to PHP.net. They have some good directions on how to compile Apache and PHP.

When I compiled PHP I used this in a configure script

Code:

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-zlib --with-jpeg-dir --with-gd=/usr/include --with-png-dir=/usr/lib --with-mysql --with-ldap

If you do all that Apache and PHP should be playing well together. You can test it by making putting a file in your DocumentRoot, name it something.php. The contents of it should be

Code:

<?php phpinfo() ?>

When you pull that page up you'll get a big page of information about PHP.

There should be some good instructions in the PHProjekt for getting it installed. I've installed it myself and don't remember it being really hard to get going.
