HomePHP Page 3 - The Soothingly Seamless Setup of Apache, SSL, MySQL, and PHP
Prerequisites - PHP
The much anticipated update to our original article on getting Apache, MySQL, Mod_SSL, and PHP to work seamlessly with each other is finally here! Ever try to get Apache, Mod_SSL, PHP, and MySQL all working in harmony on the same box? It's a very difficult task, but article author Israel Denis Jr. has come up with detailed instructions for compiling all these and getting them working together seamlessly to make the killer server software system.
RSAref (Encryption for U.S. citizens) - search for at http://ftpsearch.lycos.com
The exact versions we used were: Apache 1.3.12, Mod_SSL 2.6.4-1.3.12, OpenSSL 0.9.5a, MySQL 3.22.32, PHP 4.0.0, and RSAref20.tar. We expect that the following procedures may be followed for future and past versions of these packages and will try to keep this tutorial updated.
Download all tar file sources to a temporary directory. Make sure you put them somewhere with plenty of space. You should download them as root to avoid permissions problems.
