I need help installing Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4 and MySQL 4.0.17. I also have the latest version of ModPerl, but if no one can help me with that, it's ok.

So basically I need someone to give me a short introduction for this. I have seached here, and everything I found is for Apache 1.* or PHP 4.2.* or MySQL 3.* and I know the install is different.

If someone could help out this total newb, or give a link to a really good, really detailed tutorial it would be great!

Thanks~

Are you installing from source? I've built an Apache 2.0.48/PHP-4.3.4/MySQL 4.0.16 box from source running on RedHat 9.

It's really easy and the build process is well documented.

Peace...

Yeah, I have all the source tar.gz... I have un tarred them, but Im not sure what to install first and how to configure it, etc...

Thanks

Ok, it's really easy to get this up and running.

First, Install Apache:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/install.html

Then, install MySQL:
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/m...talling_source

Then, install PHP:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php

In a nutshell, this is what I did:

1) Install Apache. When I configured 2.0.48, I configured it like this:

$ ./configure --enable-mods-shared=all --prefix=/usr/local/apache-2.0.48 --with-mpm=worker
$ make
$ su
# make install
# ln -s /usr/local/apache-2.0.48 /usr/local/apache

You can learn about the MPMs at the Apache link above.

2) Install MySQL. I basically followed the "quick install" procedure:
http://www.mysql.com/documentation/m...#Quick_install

I installed MySQL in /usr/local/mysql.

However, you should read the "Installation from source" link I posted above.

3) Install PHP. I basically followed the Apache 2.0 instructions linked to above, but I used this configure command:

$ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

Then I updated the Apache 2.0 httpd.conf file, per the PHP instructions, and everything "just worked".

The above doc should be sufficient to get you started. Additionally, EACH of the tarballs you downloaded should have README and INSTALL files you should read for last minute updates or other pertinent info.

Good luck!

Peace...

When I tried to start Apache after I installed it I get the following message:

/usr/sbin/apachectl: line 71: /usr/sbin/httpd: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Everything made and installed fine....

Also before I even tried to start installing PHP, when I tried to make MySQL I get:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.


What should I do?

hi ^^
first of all: use apache 1.3.29...
the 2.* series isn't yet mature enough, and php only has _experimental_ support for the apache 2 series...
you can use the slackware packages for apache (http://www.slackware.com/pb/search.p...&string=apache) and MySQL (http://www.slackware.com/pb/search.p...t&string=mysql), since they are perfect...
for PHP: you have to compile it yourself to get a 'usable' version...
tell me if you need further assistence with that....the first compile is somehow...well....
for Perl: You don't actually need mod perl, the slack Perl package is sufficient, you need to configure apache so it handles Perl scripts the right way.
look up the manual on the AddHandler and Action directives...

regards

update:
-------------------------
here's a hint for compiling php. it's ment to be a hint, and it's optimized for my needs, with almost every funtionality available enabled.
here is the list of libs that I download and compile from source. you will most likely have most of them installed already, but I advice you to compile them from source since I noticed some problems with basic packages like bzip2 if you don't.

libiconv-1.9.1
gettext-0.12.1
recode-3.6
zlib-1.1.4
bzip2-1.0.2
curl-7.10.8
gmp-4.1.2
expat-1.95.7
libxml2-2.6.3
libxslt-1.1.1
Sablot-1.0
freetype-1.3.1
freetype-2.1.5
t1lib-5.0.0
libpng-1.0.15
libpng-1.2.5
jpegsrc.v6b
tiff-v3.5.7
gd-2.0.15
aspell-0.50.4
libmcrypt-2.5.7
libmcrypt-mars-0.9
libmcrypt-rc6-0.9
libmcrypt-skipjack-0.9
mhash-0.8.18
mcrypt-2.6.4
ming-0.2a
unixODBC-2.2.6
libiodbc-3.51.1

please notice that the order in which you compile the packages is somehow relevant, and you may wan't to follow the order in which they are listed.
also do a ./configure --help for each lib (if it's got a autoconf build system) ans see if there is a option to specify the location for libiconv, if yes __you must point to the prefix that you installed libiconv to__.
here's the configure line I use (not for the production envoironment ^^):
please remember that you may have to make some little changes to it ^^
hope it helps...

The easiest way to get Apache 1.3.29, PHP 4.3.4 and MySQL installed is:

1. Install MySQL, which sounds like you already have.
2. Use Apachetoolbox to install the rest. This is really too easy to do, if you do not have a package which you want to install (php maybe) it will download and install it for you.

Well, if you decide to go the Apache 1.3.29 route as others have suggested, then use their info. If you want to stick with Apache 2.0.48 (I have no particular feelings on the matter as I've configured Apache 1.3.x servers on Linux in the past as well), then we can find out how and where you got Apache installed.

Peace...

I really would like to go the Apache 2.0.48 route... Its just that all the servers will someday be upgrading to that, and I might as well be prepared.

So.. I am still at the error messages above - any ideas? I don't have anything on this computer, should I just do a reinstall of Slackware except without MySQL, PHP and Apache?

That might be easiest, lol

Thanks for all the quick replies and help!

Ok, how about this. Send me e-mail at: tomdkat@comcast.net and we can get this resolved offline. Then when you're up and running we can post the solution in this thread for archival purposes. Fair enough?

Peace...

Very cool

Will Do...

i also got problems with installing php with MySQL 4.0.17 and apache2.0.48,
i mean, it intsalls alright, mysql and apache work without a problem, i even added the php conf to the httpd conf file, but when i try to turn apache on...

root@slack:/usr/local/apache2/bin# ./apachectl restart
Syntax error on line 1072 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'AddModule', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

the only way to make it work is to # this line:


AddModule mod_php4.c

and when i do, everything seems to be fine

(Apache/2.0.48 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4 Server at leniu.sytes.net Port 80)

but PHP just does not work, when i try to open any php file, it opens it as if it was a txt file... i reinstalled it 3 times already using different tutorials, but i either get stuck on the addmodule line, or loadmodule, which now seems to be working fine...



am i missing something, or is it just apache2's fault?

How did you install PHP? From source or from pre-built binaries? Also, are you running PHP as an Apache DSO or otherwise?

I run PHP 4.3.4 as an Apache DSO and I load the module like this:

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

Peace...
