So many people are using some version of RedHat to run PHP with Apache and MySQL. This combination is so popular that it is being referred to as LAMP, an acronym. But in the php community why there isn't a php.version.rpm recommended for a platform, say RHL 7.2? RedHat isn't doing it, or isn't doing it any more for current versions (7.1, 7.2). (Well, the mod_php.version.rpm is no longer included in their package, therefore php does not work with apache any more. What is the other use for php? ). Everybody has to struggle through their own ways to compile and install the PHP package and try to make it work with Apache and MySQL or some other databases. Can we have a recommanded php.version.rpm package for up-to-date Linux platforms? (In reality, there are a few php.version.rpm around on the net. I tried them, they seem don't work on any of my three pentiums (60 MHz, 500 MHz, and 1.4 GHz) runing RHL 7.0, 7.1, 7.2. Yes, I tried all 7.x versions on each and every machine I have, hoping to find one working. Not very smart move, just coping. Obviously, that doesn't work.
Well I am not skilled enough to make an xxxx.rpm package yet, but I am sure there many who can do it. Now, my question is: What is the issue for such a distribution? I believe it probably is not simply because binary distrobutions don't have much flexibility. What is it. I am a newbie, I admit. What is the best way to overcome the complexity in compilation and installation for uncounted number of newbies. If it's something I can aspire to I would try it. -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
