[cobalt-users] Installation of mySQL and PHP3

["Dave Lambrix" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am preparing to install mySQL and PHP3 on my RaQ3. I have searched the
Cobalt knowledge base, and while there is some inforation listed, it almost
seems to conflict. I have narrowed it down to the information I have pasted
below, though I am unsure if this a complete list of the files needed. Also,
I am unsure if I need to install the files in any specific order.

I am not a Linux guru, so if the installation scripts need any kind of path
or location information, I'm gonna be in trouble. Does anyone know of a FAQ
or walkthrough for this type of installation? Or is it as simple as doing an
"rpm -Uvh" on each file?

Thanks a million.

Please note that if you want MySQL + PHP, please install MySQL FIRST

                                    To install an rpm, telnet in to your
box, su to root, ftp the file to your cobalt machine, then execute the
command:

                                    rpm -Uvh rpmfile

                                    RaQ3

ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/raq3/
                                    mod_php3-3.0.7-4.i386.rpm

                                    depends on libttf and libgd (see below).
Same version that we have available for the RaQ2

                                    OR


ftp://ftp.cobaltnet.com/pub/experimental/raq3/
                                     php-3.0.14-2.i386.rpm
                                     php-manual-3.0.14-2.i386.rpm
                                     php-mysql-3.0.14-2.i386.rpm
                                     php-pgsql-3.0.14-2.i386.rpm

                                    newer version. Different from RaQ2.
Works fine. Install the php-* other rpms in same dir for pgsql or mysql
support
                                    depends on a bunch of other things,
including freetype and gd.

                                    In the same directory - grab and
install:

                                     freetype-1.2-7.i386.rpm
                                     freetype-devel-1.2-7.i386.rpm
                                     freetype-utils-1.2-7.i386.rpm
                                     gd-1.3-5.i386.rpm
                                     gd-devel-1.3-5.i386.rpm
