Hi, I just succesfully installed and tested
with various PHP CMSs
XAMPP -- the linux version.
It is one tar file that comes with everything necessary to run
a website
(Apache, phP5.2 and 4, perl, mod_perl, MySQL, SQL Lite, etc)
all precompiled with nice web based gui interface.
It is intended to be installed manually on ANY Linux
distribution with a single command
(the command is
tar -xpvf <TheLAMPPTarfile> /opt/
that is it (so it just untars into /opt/ directory)
there you will have then /opt/lampp
and then you just
cd /opt/lampp
./lampp start
this will start all the necessary services
then you can open up your favorite webbrowser
and do
http://localhostthere you will find all the controls/statuses necessary to manage
the services (and it even has the GUI to manage MySQL databases
----
ANother nice thing is that you can do
./lampp backup
and it will backup everything including all the Databases within Mysql
and SQLLite
and finally your web programs need to go under
/opt/lampp/htdocs
(and if you want all those things stopped and started with your
box start/shutdown command -- so that you do not manually need to
start it -- I think there is a way to do it with VASMCC -- but I do not know
it yet)
that's it.
