1. Installing MySQL 5.x
a) Download the MysQL source files from http://www.mysql.com

wget http://mysql.mirrors.pair.com/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.45.tar.gz

b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip

c) Create the mysql user and group using the following commands

groupadd mysql

useradd -g mysql -c "MySQL Server" mysql

cd mysql-5.0.45 (enter)

Follow this command by typing;

#./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data --disable-maintainer-mode --with-mysqld-user=mysql

--enable-large-files-without-debug (enter)

Sit back and wait for a while while configure does its thing, once the system returns the prompt to you issue the following command;

#make (enter)

Unless you have a very fast machine this will take some time, so spend time with your family, grab a beer, go for a walk, or whatever you're into. When you

get back, assuming the system has returned the prompt to you issue the following command;

#make install (enter)

Cool !, MySQL is installed, there are only a couple things left to do to get it working, first we need to create a group for MySQL as follows;

a symbolic link to the MySQL source directory in a directory

your choice. (I use /usr/local/). Here is an example of the same

ln -s /usr/local/src/mysql-5.0.45 /usr/local/mysql

e) Change the working directory to the symbolic link that you have

created in the server.

f) Execute the following command

./scripts/mysql_install_db

The above command will install the mysql and the test database

g) Change the ownership of /usr/local/mysql using the following command

chown -R root:mysql /usr/local/mysql

Where root is the user and mysql is the group

h) Change the ownership of /usr/local/mysql/data using the following command

chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data

i) Copy the default configuration file for the expected size of the

database (small, medium, large, huge)

cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf

chown root:sys /etc/my.cnf

chmod 644 /etc/my.cnf

j) Now we have to tell the system where to find some of the dynamic

libraries that MySQL will need to run. We use dynamic libraries

instead of static to keep the memory usage of the MySQL program itself

to a minimum.

echo "/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql" >> /etc/ld.so.conf

ldconfig

k) Now create a startup script, which enables MySQL auto-start each

time your server is restarted.

cp ./support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql

/sbin/chkconfig --level 3 mysql on

l) Then set up symlinks for all the MySQL binaries, so they can be run

from anyplace without having to include/specify long paths, , etc

cd /usr/local/mysql/bin

for file in *; do ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/$file /usr/bin/$file; done

m) First, we will assume that only applications on the same server

will be allowed to access the database (i.e., not a program running

on a physically separate server). So we'll tell MySQL not to even

listen on port 3306 for TCP connections l ike it does by default.

Edit /etc/my.cnf and uncomment the

skip-networking

n) Start MySQL

mysqladmin -u root password newpassword

to login

mysql -u root -p  ( enter)  ---> new password

 


2. Installing Apache 2.2.3

2.1 The installation of OpenSSL is pretty simple. We specify the destination folder by --prefix.
cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz

cd /usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.8g

./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl
make
make test
make install
ln -s /usr/local/openssl/bin/openssl /usr/local/bin/openssl

a) Download the Apache 2.2.3 source files from http://httpd.apache.org

b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip

c) change the working directory to the directory containing the

extracted source files

d) Run the following command for basic apache installation

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-shared=max

--enable-module=rewrite --enable-module=so --enable-shared=ssl --enable-ssl --enable-shared=rewrite --with-ssl=/usr/local/src/openssl-0.9.8d

 

make

make install

)open ../conf/httpd.conf using your favorite editor, find AddType

directive and add after it the following lines:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

g)ln -s /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl /usr/bin/httpd

h)restart apache

httpd start


3. Installing PHP 5.2.0

a) Download the PHP 5.2.0 source files from http://www.php.net

b) Extract the source from the gunzipped file using tar or gunzip

c) change the working directory to the directory containing the

extracted source files

d) Run the following command for PHP installation

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/lib --with-zlib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib

--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config --with-gd --enable-soap --enable-sockets --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --enable-exif --enable-cli

or ( for basic )

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

 if you get the following error "" configure: error: xml2-config not found ""

install

yum install libxml2-devel
yum install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel

e)Build the PHP configuration using the following command

make

f) Install PHP

make install

cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini

ln -s /usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini /etc/php.ini

to creat a symblolic line to the /etc dir for easy location of httpd.con
ln -s /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd.conf

to start httpd fome norma start up script

ln -s /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
