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,
