I'm new to linux and I'm trying to set up a LAMP server using Fedora 4
I installed all the relevant packages and have Apache serving static pages
ok, however I am unable to access MySql. PHPinfo() tells me that PHP was
built using "--without mysql" in the configure command.
Is there a logical reason why they would do this?
Will all PHP packages be built like this - how will I know without going
through an install?
Whats the best way get it installed - I assume I download the source and
build it myself?
If thats the case what directory will I install it to - I would like to
install it to the same directory it is now but I dont know where that is.
How do I find out?
5.0.4 is what came with Fedora4 but if I build a replacement I will use the
latest release - should I uninstall the current install before upgrading.
I have read SElinux causes problems with LAMP servers Has anyone experienced
this?
Does anyone recommend/reject any Linux flavours for a production server?
TIA
