 Posted: Thu Jul 29, 2004 9:46 pm Post subject: Apache, MySql, PHP installation |
 |

I'm currently emerging samba, which i noticed also takes care of downloading and installing mysql.
When I emerge apache, how can i go about including php and mysql support?
do i need to emerge php separately?
is there somewhere i can get good documenation on configuring samba, php, mysql, apache?
these forums are about the best i've found.
thanks in advance

Yes, samba has the 'mysql' USE flag activated. USE flags are one of the biggest advantages of Gentoo. They are described in depth at Gentoo Handbook -> USE flags

Yes. If you want to use it with apache, you probably only need to emerge 'mod_php'.

After doing a quick search on the forum, I couldn't come up with anything better than Apache-php-mySQL how-to / install guide?, which actually contains no HOWTO.  However, the Apache/PHP/MySQL configuration files usually have extensive documentation.
If that's not enough, you should search the Gentoo forums or Google.
For specific information, you can also check out the Apache docs, PHP installation docs. The MySQL installation shouldn't be more than commenting the 'skip-networking' line, and ofcourse configuring your users and databases, which you can do with the graphical MySQL frontends out there.
If you've tried anything above and still can't figure it out, feel free to create a new thread on the Gentoo forums. |

I use the following guide as a reference to installing apache with php
support (which also installs php): Installing Apache and PHP
(I skipped the first ebuild portion of that guide tho, as it's rather
pointless imo).
As to mysql support, apache doesn't access mysql directly, and therefore
no support is needed that I know of. Just emerge and configure it
to your liking, and it should work just fine 
Also, the USE flags that integor mentioned should work just fine
as well, I just like the above method better. |
