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,

freddie50

yum-cron

yum-cron(8)															       yum-cron(8)

NAME

       yum-cron - an interface to convieniently call yum from cron

SYNOPSIS

       yum-cron [config-file]

DESCRIPTION

       yum-cron  is  an  alternate  interface to yum that is optimised to be convenient to call from cron.  It provides methods to keep repository
       metadata up to date, and to check for, download, and apply updates.  Rather than accepting many different command line arguments, the  dif-
       ferent functions of yum-cron can be accessed through config files.

       config-file  is	used  to optionally specify the path to the configuration file to use.	If it is not given, the default configuration file
       will be used.  It is useful to be able to specify different configuration files for different use cases.  For  example,	one  configuration
       file  might  be set to update the repository metadata, and a line could be added to the crontab to run yum-cron frequently using this file.
       Then, another configuration file might be set to install updates, and yum-cron could be run from cron using this file just once each day.

FILES

       /etc/yum/yum-cron.conf
       /etc/yum/yum-cron-hourly.conf

SEE ALSO

       yum (8)

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There of course aren't any bugs, but if you find any, you should email
	the mailing list, yum@lists.baseurl.org, or consult bugzilla.
