Building LAMP server from scratch (build a server with compiled LAMP from CentOS mini)
Hello everyone,
I would like to setup a lamp server from a minimal distro and to compile PHP, MySQL and Apache myself.
I have chosen CentOS minimal for the OS and I am trying to build the stack by hand... But well, it appears I need some help!
First: I am looking for good and recent tutorials on how to compile the latest version of PHP/MySQL5.1/Apache.
I am interested in best practices for the compilation of latest source code of these programs.
I would also like to understand all the configuration options of the LAMP in order to customize a maximum the server to the needs of the website it is going to host!
Secondly: and more practically I am stuck at adding up the Network packages necessary for a up and running server on to CentOS minimal...
So I would basically need a step by step how to build a server from CentOS minimal ?
If you are still not too scared to help a fast learning beginner, this is where I am stuck...
For the time being :
1) I install ContOS mini on a virtual machine
2) log in as root
3) dhclient eth0
4) yum install system-config-network-tui
5) yum update
I can update my system...
But now how do I configure the network so I can ping the host and get access to my local virtual network?
It seems I might need system-config-firewall-tui as well?
Should I setup a static address instead of dhcp?
Please note that my host runs Fedora 17 and I use the latest kvm and libvirt, virt-manager tools.
Many thanks for your help and keep up the good work!
Cheers,

LEARN ABOUT PHP
mysql_get_server_info
MYSQL_GET_SERVER_INFO(3) 1 MYSQL_GET_SERVER_INFO(3)
mysql_get_server_info - Get MySQL server info
SYNOPSIS
Warning
This extension is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0, and will be removed in the future. Instead, the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extension should
be used. See also MySQL: choosing an API guide and related FAQ for more information. Alternatives to this function include:
omysqli_get_server_info(3)
o PDO::getAttribute
string mysql_get_server_info ([resource $link_identifier = NULL])
DESCRIPTION
Retrieves the MySQL server version.
o $
link_identifier -The MySQL connection. If the link identifier is not specified, the last link opened by mysql_connect(3) is
assumed. If no such link is found, it will try to create one as if mysql_connect(3) was called with no arguments. If no connection
is found or established, an E_WARNING level error is generated.
Returns the MySQL server version on success or FALSE on failure.
Example #1
mysql_get_server_info(3) example
<?php
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
printf("MySQL server version: %s
", mysql_get_server_info());
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
MySQL server version: 4.0.1-alpha
mysql_get_client_info(3), mysql_get_host_info(3), mysql_get_proto_info(3), phpversion(3).
