[cobalt-users] Installing PHP + mySQL on raq3



I was wondering if anyone has had success installing PHP and mySQL on a
raq3. I followed the instructions on the support
pages and could not get php to load. When I would modify the
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file to add php support, apache would
not start. After some frustration with this, I decided to install the
newest version of apache, php4, and mysql. I quickly noticed
that Cobalt doesn't put the programs in the standard directories. (ie:
/usr/local/apache). After a full compile and install of each
program, everything worked except I lost all management of the server. I
tried to copy the new apache httpd into /usr/sbin 
and call it from /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd but I get a bunch of errors
about my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file having invalid entries.

Long story short, I removed all the work that I've done with apache and
php4, and brought the system back up to "factory"
defaults. 

If anyone has suggestions on how I can go about installing all of these
features but not loose the functionality of the 
Cobalt management via the web I would be most appreciative.

Thanks,
Chris
