Problems compiling Mysql/Php

Post by triki »

I have a quick question for anyone. Do i have to compile the source files to have Mysql/Php/Apache to have them work together or can i just use the packaged rpms instead ? I'm finding that i'm getting a lot of errors trying to compile each one seperately !
I'd prefer to use the rpm's for now till i get use to my linux box :)
Thanks !

I belive that Apache doesn't come with PHP package in standard RPM :D (but I can be wrong). So as for me the answer for your question is - yes, you have to compile all of them.

BTW: I'm not linux-head either, but I managed to make this wonderful-three fully operational using only source libraries. It's all written in the manual, step-by-step.

The installation guides at the official sites are the best place to start:
http://www.php.net
http://www.mysql.com
httpd.apache.org

RPM? I don't know what that stands for but is it like an installer kind of thing that'll automaticly install Apache, PHP and MySQL for you?

If it is, then check out AppServ. It installs Apache, PHP, MySQL and phpmyadmin for you.

Am I way out of topic? lol :D
