hi
i have been having a lot of problems recently with my system that is a linux Red hat system, with Apache 2 and PHP and PERL, and i have decided to make a fresh install, but this time without installing any of the packages automatically, but rather to perform a manual install. so i simply installed Red Hat.
now iwould like to install the Packages mentioned, but i am not too sure on the best way to perform this in order for me to have the best efficient system, and to have all the modules in between them installed! i would like to set my Linux system to have PHP and PERL and Apache working alongside MySQL (MySQL is theo nly package that i downloaded with the install).
Please someone help me. as i have been stuck on this for a long time.
In general I never have liked the Apache version offered by Red Hat, mainly I don't like having pieces parts of my web server all over the machine (unlike with most applications). My advice would be to allow Red Hat to install Perl as it normally would, and allow Red Hat to handle the installation of MySQL (though I got to a point where I took that over too, for the same reason). Then install Apache from source, building PHP and mod_perl at that time using the excellent docs from apache.org. In the case of a web server setup I generally make a separate /opt/httpd partition for all web related files and install Apache under that partition alone.
