Re: [cobalt-users] Howto php4/mysql install to Raq3i

[Kody Hagen <kody@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is how we did it on our raq3. Install Mysql first then PHP.


Installing mySQL
1. Go to Server Administration
2. Click "Maintenance"
3. Click "Install Software"
4. Paste http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/i386/RaQ3-RaQ4-MySQL-3.22.32-1.pkg into
the URL text box and
click "install package" (check to be sure the url is valid)
5. telnet to the machine
6. log in as superuser ("su")
7. type "mysqladmin -uroot -pcobalt-mysql password NEW-PASSWORD"
NEW-PASSWORD will be the password
login with from now on.
8. type exit
9. type exit (logout out as super user)
10. to log on to mySQL type "mysql -u root -pNEW-PASSWORD"



Installing PHP
a. before you get started make copies of the files below (note: you must be
logged in as super user to perform all these commands)
    - /usr/sbin/httpd (from within this directory type "cp httpd
httpd.back")
    - /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (from within this directory type "cp
httpd.conf                 httpd.conf.back")
    - /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf (from within this directory type "cp srm.conf
srm.conf.back")

1. cd to /usr/sbin and open the file httpd (type "pico httpd")
find the line below
my $CFG_SBINDIR       = '/usr/bin';       # substituted via APACI install
replace it with the line below
my $CFG_SBINDIR       = '/usr/sbin';       # substituted via APACI install


2. Get php from www.php.net
    - Raq3 will not support anything above PHP 4.0.4pl1 as of right now.
(4.0.6 is the newest.)
3. upload to directory with user access (e.g. /home/sites/home/)
4. cd to /usr/local
5. copy php to /usr/local directory (type "cp
/home/sites/home/php4.0.4.tar.gz")
6. unzip the file (type "gunzip php4.0.4.tar.gz")
7. untar the file (type "tar -xvf php4.04.tar") this create the directory
structure... the directory will be called php4.0.4
8. type  "./configure --with-apxs --with-mysql --enable-track-vars"
9. type "make"
10. type "make install"
11. cd to /etc/httpd/conf
12. open the httpd.conf file (type "pico httpd.conf")
look for the line shown below
LoadModule php4_module        lib/apache/libphp4.so
Change this line to read like the line below (Thank Paul for finding this
tidbit!)
LoadModule php4_module        /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
13. open the srm.conf file (type "pico httpd.conf")
look for the lines below
# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
# make certain files to be certain types.
# Format: AddType type/subtype ext1

# For example, the PHP3 module (not part of the Apache distribution)
# will typically use:
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
#AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps
# The following is for PHP/FI (PHP2):
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

Change this to read like below
# AddType allows you to tweak mime.types without actually editing it, or to
# make certain files to be certain types.
# Format: AddType type/subtype ext1

# For example, the PHP3 module (not part of the Apache distribution)

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
# The following is for PHP/FI (PHP2):
#AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

14. Restart the server
15. Everything should be working now

There you go.  That is exactly what we did to get it to work after many
tries!
