I wrote a simple shell script to download, configure and build Apache+PHP+MySql+GD for unix/linux systems. It only requires wget and the common tools for configuraing and building. Is there anyone willing to test it out for me? Im working out the last few bugs now. Let me know if you are interested.


Thanks

I'd be willing. You can email me or just post the code here. :) I'll be testing it on a new FreeBSD 4.5 machine, if that matters.

Whats your email address? ;)


Thanks

allera@focalhosting.com, or you can click on my little mail icon below this message. ;)

I was going to do that but you cant post attachments with it. And it doesnt show your email address. ;) I have sent you a copy

You can also shoot me a copy of the code, I can test it out on a FreeBSD 4.5 box as well as a RedHat Linux 7.2 box. I have pm'd you with an email address you can send it to.

It has been sent :)

I would add libpng, jpeg, and libz to the GD installation. Other than that, looks good. Perhaps adding modssl to the mix (since it seems to be common enough), and maybe suexec options for those who don't know how to set it up (that's pushing it, though, eh?:)).

I'll give it a test run for ya tomorrow and let you know if I encounter any problems. :)

As far as what gets compiled into GD, just run the configure script included with GD with the options you want(all the apache build script does for that part is make and make install, left it open for that :) ) If you do that, just remove the lines for downloading and unziping the GD tarball. Im working on a SSL script already. Should be done soon I hope. And for addon ons, just find the apache section(Its labled clearly in the script) and add or remove options there.

You may download this script here (http://forums.linuxgroup.net/portal_database.php?action=view&fid=2&cid=2).

Please repost any bugs here (http://forums.linuxgroup.net/board.php?boardid=5).


Thanks

I have sent this to LinuxGroup via email but I will also post it here publicly. I tested the script out on a FreeBSD4.5 and RedHat 7.2 box and it worked flawless on both. I might add as mentioned above it is quite simple to add to the script for other modules and features.. Nice job!!

Thanks!

Any chance of adding into the mix the compiling of FP2002 extensions with sub-webs enabled :-) I tried many variations of this with no success.

I tested the script on RHL 6.1, worked great!

I know FP is supported, but I don't know how far...
