I am the one who posted that e-mail last month as Stuard already told you php-fpm is needed only for httpd from the base and Nginx. I am running RackTables with httpd from the base and works very well in chroot mode. > > Whether or not php-fpm is a requirement depends on which webserver > software you use.

That should be the first thing you always check before using Google to find third party how-tos which are often inaccurate, obsolete, or even worse plain wrong. After installing a package post installation message will typically point to OpenBSD specific pkg_readmes. Those are written by OpenBSD porters and are very good. > There isn't very much information around for it; very roughly you need > to install and run php-fpm, and there's a sample config block in > /etc/examples/httpd.conf.

Learn how to configure very basic HTTP server by configuring /etc/httpd.conf. Take the time to understand the concept of chrooted web server. 2. Install php-fpm. I am specifically running php-fpm-5.6.11p0 on OpenBSD 5.8 stable with php-5.6.11. Check out /etc/examples/httpd.conf to see how to enable php support. By default PHP will be running chrooted. Don't proceed further until you get proper display of php-info page. 3. Install MariaDB server from the base. It comes with the excellent pkg_readme. Contrary to noise posts in respond to my question about LibreNMS and httpd in the insecure mode, MariaDB works very well in chroot mode (Unfortunately LibreNMS has to many dependencies so that is why I was asking about insecure mode which Stuart correctly pointed out). Make sure you configure MariaDB correctly before installing RackTables and attempting to run installation script. Don't forget. Your PHP server will have to talk to MariaDB server. Check dependencies (php-mysql-5.6.11, php-pdo_mysql-5.6.11). 4. Finally when you have mysqld, php_fpm, and httpd daemons correctly installed, configured, and running you are ready to run RackTables installation script. Script will fail at first. Now go back and check my post from the last month how to "fix" the problem. By the way your RackTable will be running chrooted as well. Best, Predrag
