[Bogdan]

Hi i'm currently downloading Porteus, and I want to know is there instructions on how to install functional localhost server with apache, php, mysql and phpmyadmin. I tried searching forum but i can't find it... Thanks

Clean slacky pkgs

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /var/slackyd/*.txz

Update local repository

Code: Select all

slackyd -u

Download httpd (apache)

Code: Select all

slackyd -fg httpd

Download mysql

Code: Select all

slackyd -fg mysql

Download php

Code: Select all

slackyd -fg php

Install everything (optional)

Code: Select all

installpkg /var/slackyd/*.txz

Make a final module xzm for future boot

mkdir -p /tmp/lamp && installpkg -root /tmp/lamp /var/slackyd/*.txz && dir2xzm /tmp/lamp /tmp/lamp-server.xzm && rm -Rf /tmp/lamp /var/slackyd/*.txz

Your xzm module will be put into /tmp.

Must be do from root.

You're welcome This is about another subject. Please make a new topic about this. I would suggests you to follows this thread

[Bogdan]

Nevermind, i solved it. Thanks again!

[Bogdan]

Just one more thing Hamza, i will need a phpmyadmin, is it included in packages you listed for LAMP Server

[Hamza]

No but here's sample commands to get it from editors.

I'm assuming phpMyAdmin 3.5.5 is the last version and you want PMA to be reach-able from your-domain.net/phpmyadmin

Go to default web root directory. This could change depending on your configuration.

Code: Select all

cd /var/www

Download phpMyAdmin 3.5.5

Code: Select all

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmyadmin/files/phpMyAdmin/3.5.5/phpMyAdmin-3.5.5-english.zip

Unzip the archive

Code: Select all

unzip phpMyAdmin-3.5.5-english.zip

Rename the folder to phpmyadmin

Code: Select all

mv phpMyAdmin-3.5.5-english phpmyadmin

Remove the downloaded archive to free the disk space (optional)

Code: Select all

rm -Rf phpMyAdmin-3.5.5-english.zip

[Bogdan]

I have installed everything, but can't start httpd... i've tried various commands that i use on many other linux systems before and nothing

[Hamza]

You'll not get it running because it seems dependencies are missing.

Clean slacky pkgs

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /var/slackyd/*.txz

Search dependencies for httpd (should apr)

Code: Select all

slackyd -fd httpd

Make a module from found deps

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/httpd-deps && installpkg -root /tmp/httpd-deps /var/slackyd/*.txz

Make the xzm module

Code: Select all

dir2xzm /tmp/httpd-deps /tmp/httpd-deps.xzm

Clean unnecessary files (optional)

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /tmp/httpd-deps /var/slackyd/*.txz

Final should be in /tmp as httpd-deps.xzm

About httpd, there's actually an error in the package coming from Slackware.
Please do these steps in order to fix the issue permanently.

Create temporary folder into /tmp

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/lamp-fix

Extracting lamp module

Code: Select all

xzm2dir /path/to/lamp.xzm /tmp/lamp-fix

Applying fixes

Code: Select all

chmod +x /tmp/lamp-fix/etc/rc.d/rc.*

Repacking lamp module

Code: Select all

dir2xzm /tmp/lamp-fix /tmp/lamp.xzm

Clean unnecessary files (optional)

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /tmp/lamp-fix

You'll get a new module. /tmp/lamp.xzm with fixes applied.

In order to boot up httpd. Please run this command:

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start

[Bogdan]

yes this fix httpd, i got the famous It works! message, and phpmyadmin should be in /var/www/htdocs insted of var/www, but now i have my php files rendered as a plain text

[Hamza]

Please apply these steps in order to run PHP correctly from httpd.

Clean slacky pkgs

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /var/slackyd/*.txz

Download all php deps

Code: Select all

slackyd -fdg php

Make a temporary directory

Code: Select all

mkdir /tmp/php-deps

Install pkgs into a fake directory

Code: Select all

installpkg -root /tmp/php-deps /var/slackyd/*.txz

Apply some fixes

1. Open the file /tmp/php-deps/etc/mod_php.conf
2. Search the line

   Code: Select all

   SetHandler application/x-httpd-php

3. You should have a "#" at begin of this line, remove it
4. Save and exit

Make the final module

Code: Select all

dir2xzm /tmp/php-deps /tmp/php-deps.xzm

Activate the module

Code: Select all

activate /path/to/php-deps.xzm

Don't forget to move it on modules folder if you want to have it on the next boot.

Reload httpd

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd restart

Optionally, you can remove unnecessary files

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /tmp/php-deps

Code: Select all

rm -Rf /var/slackyd/*.txz

[tadatma]

when I execute this "/etc/rc.d/rc.httpd start" I get a "Permission Denied" reply. What should I do about it? I am in the root console.

[Hamza]

Executes this before your command.

Code: Select all

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.httpd

[tadatma]

Interestingly, I am not able to find rc.httpd! I wonder if I have missed some step.
I would like to place a request though. If you can release a (L)AMPP module that activates on startup that would be really useful for me. I hear version 2.0 is likely to be released tomorrow. If that module can also be made compatible with the release version, that would be an icing on the cake!!
Thank you.

[Hamza]

Simply make a module request in the relevant sub forum.
