Page 3 of 11 )
- Apache (Web Server)
- Mod_SSL (Secure Server Layer)
- OpenSSL (Toolkit for SSL)
- MySQL (SQL Database Server)
- PHP (Scripting Language)
- RSAref (Encryption for U.S. citizens) - search for at

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.

install your server, check out Ralph I. Zeller's
tutorial on how to
use RPMs. Thanks Ralph!
