Required packages for Apache/PHP/MySQL? Help with my web server.
Hey all. Just finished setting up Slackware on my new (cough) Dell Poweredge 1300 Dual P3 450MHZ beast, with 256MB RAM! This machine is going to be a web server, with Apache, PHP, and mySQL. I tried to slim down the install as much as possible. The packages I installed are listed below, so I have a couple of questions:
1) What packages are required for Apache, PHP, and MySQL (aside from their actual packages). I'm not sure what in Slack they depend on, so wanted to find out before I go about completing my server. 2) Does anyone see any packages that I don't really need? This server is running 2.6.13, has no sound or X, just MB, RAM, CPUs, CDROM, Floppy, NIC, and some SCSI HDs. aaa_base aaa_elflibs bash bin bzip2 coreutils cpio cxxlibs dcron devs dhcpd diffutils e2fsprogs elvis etc findutils gawk glibc-solibs glibc-zoneinfo grep groff gzip hdparm hotplug infozip iptables kbd kernel-modules less lilo links logrotate lsof lvm mc mkinitrd module-init-tools openssl-solibs pciutils pkgtools procps reiserfsprogs sed shadow slocate sysklogd syslinux sysvinit tar tcpip udev usbutils utempter util-linux wget xfsprogs |

if you want to display images you might
want to install their libs (libjpeg, libpng, etc) and utilities (such as imagemagick) maybe also crypt, db and ssl stuff... |
I use XFS filesystem, and the LILO bootloader. I don't really need to display any images, this box is only a web server machine, though it might turn into an FTP server as well. I have a full install of Slack and Dropline Gnome on my main rig for development.
I figured the list I installed was fairly minimal, and couldn't see any real room to shrink it further. But more input is always welcome. Thanks for the replies! |

If you know exactly what you will do, and/or don't mind chasing things down later as you need them, then you could slim it down a little more, but not much. My advice--stick with what 'ya got. :twocents: |
