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,

apache::build
Apache::Build(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Apache::Build(3)
NAME
Apache::Build - Methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code
SYNOPSIS
use Apache::Build ();
my $build = Apache::Build->new;
# rebuild mod_perl with build opts from the previous build
% cd modperl-2.0
% perl -MApache::Build -e rebuild
DESCRIPTION
This module provides methods for locating and parsing bits of Apache source code.
Since mod_perl remembers what build options were used to build it, you can use this knowledge to rebuild it using the same options. Simply
chdir to the mod_perl source directory and run:
% cd modperl-2.0
% perl -MApache::Build -e rebuild
If you want to rebuild not yet installed, but already built mod_perl, run from its root directory:
% perl -Ilib -MApache::Build -e rebuild
METHODS
new Create an object blessed into the Apache::Build class.
my $build = Apache::Build->new;
dir Top level directory where source files are located.
my $dir = $build->dir;
-d $dir or die "can't stat $dir $!
";
find
Searches for apache source directories, return a list of those found.
Example:
for my $dir ($build->find) {
my $yn = prompt "Configure with $dir ?", "y";
...
}
inc Print include paths for MakeMaker's INC argument to "WriteMakefile".
Example:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Apache::Build ();
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Apache::Module',
'VERSION' => '0.01',
'INC' => Apache::Build->new->inc,
);
module_magic_number
Return the MODULE_MAGIC_NUMBER defined in the apache source.
Example:
my $mmn = $build->module_magic_number;
httpd_version
Return the server version.
Example:
my $v = $build->httpd_version;
otherldflags
Return other ld flags for MakeMaker's dynamic_lib argument to "WriteMakefile". This might be needed on systems like AIX that need spe-
cial flags to the linker to be able to reference mod_perl or httpd symbols.
Example:
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use Apache::Build ();
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Apache::Module',
'VERSION' => '0.01',
'INC' => Apache::Build->new->inc,
'dynamic_lib' => {
'OTHERLDFLAGS' => Apache::Build->new->otherldflags,
},
);
