To whom this may concern As a PHP developer I am going to use Debian as a web server to host my work. I want something fast, secure and stable. But I will also require the system to run MySQL v4.x and definitely PHP v5.0.x and a http server such as apache 2.
I have noticed when browsing the package lists that PHP 5 in not currently support but on the official Debian site but I have seen binaries on http://dotdeb.org/ are these likely to be stable? Basically I would like a web server to host object orientated PHP scripts (currently version five) accessing a MySQL server (latest stable release). Can anyone advise on a distribution and administration? Thank you so much for your time I know there are many answers to this question, but I already like the sound of Debian. So if my requirements can be met successfully I would like to stick with Debra and Ian. Kindest Regards Leslie P.S. If anyone has tried this before I would greatly appreciate some information regarding your experiences and techniques. Thanks again!
