I just saw someone posting the installation steps under win. I just got the new server for the company’s website today. It took me a whole morning to install mysql+php+apache. There are some differences between the new version and the old version. Now post the installation steps: 1. mysql Download the for linux rpm package of mysql on the following page http://www.mysql.com/downloads/down...3.52-1.i386.rpm http://www. mysql.com/downloads/down...3.52-1.i386.rpm Save to /home/tmp directory Command list: cd /home/tmp rpm -ivh MySQL-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm #Install mysql server rpm -ivh MySQL-client-3.23.52-1.i386.rpm #Install mysql client /usr/mysql/safe_mysqld & #Start mysql server mysql #Run the mysql client and open remote access permissions to the root user. For debugging, use mysql update user set host = % where user = root and host localhost; flush privileges; quit. At this point, the mysql installation is completed. 2. apache Download the source code package of apache for linux on the following page http://www.apache .org/dist/httpd/apache_1.3.26.tar.gz Save to /home/tmp directory Command list: cd /home/tmp tar -zxvf apache_1.3.26.tar.gz mv apache_1.3.26.tar.gz apache cd apache ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so make make install Install apache to /usr/local/apache and configure apache to support dso mode 3.php.
