Hello All....

I have couple of questions always bothering me when I am working with linux. I am currently working on RHEL 4.0 and cent os 4.0.. my questions are.

how to install apache, php, mysql and gd library.. (all latest version.. as per my knoweldge, we can simply install apache. mysql while installing linux, if we do so, how could we compile php with mysql... ? (but these versions are old that comes up with the disto)..

if I go to php.net and download latest php 5 and same from apache and mysql, ( i hope all these are source codes not rpm. how can we compile all these... could you please start from scratch as I am new to this....
at the end, i need to see all these in the phpinfo() file...

I hope i made my self clear.....

please take the time and answer all questions...

thanks

Hi,

You can use up2date command under RHEL 4 ES/AS. up2date command always installs stable version. Remember latest may not be the good for production server. On a related note if you are ready to take risk and want to install latest version goto Rpmfind mirror and download all RPMs for RHEL4 doing this will removes warranty covered under redhat and RHN.

Hope this helps. If you have more questions please reply back
