I've been looking on the web for hours but haven't found any help, though of asking on some forums when I suddenly remembered! There's freebsd-questions!!
Anyway, I'm a MS SQL Server guy, trying to mess around with FreeBSD at home.
I've managed to install 6.1, CVSup, xorg, KDE, Apache 1.3. I haven't touched
this box for a while due to my work schedule, now I'm trying to pick up where I
left off... I just install ed WordPress from ports, trying to use it to learn
PHP and MySQL. (At work, I'm almost 100% SQL Server only! I'm hoping to
change to a Linux / Oracle, Data Warehouse type of position.... but outside of
work, I would like to learn some PHP, Perl and MySQL... may be start a little
side web biz or something...)
So, main question:
WordPress requires PHP 4 and MySQL 3 or later, and optional mod_rewrite. How
do I verify if these are installed?
I used "pkg_version -v" to check my installed ports' versions, I have these:
apache-1.3.37_1
mod_perl-1.29_1
mysql-client-5.1.11
perl-5.8.8
php5-5.1.4
php5-mysql-5.1.4
php5-pcre-5.1.4
php5-xml-5.1.4
wordpress-2.0.4_1,1
I think I still need to install mod_php and mod_rewrite, but I can't see them
in /usr/ports/www
How do I verify that php, MySql and mod_rewrite are install and function
properly in Apache?
Thanks!
Nick
make a file called pinfo.php in your web servers data directory root
(/usr/local/www/data by default)
put this in it:
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
save it and go to:
http://yourURL.com/pinfo.php
and read away
that will dump all php related info.
make sure you install the suhosin patches against PHP and/or use the
extension
