Re: Is there a Complete Package(NOT Ports) for: [Apache+PHP+MySQL+Mod_SSL+Mod_Perl] ?? - newbie+3
AFAIK, no. There are several Linux-based packages that include several - though not all - of those components. Not that I've seen for FreeBSD. I'd seriously recommend a source install, especially with the mod_ssl and static mod_perl modules. In my experience there's just too much that usually gets muddled with package-based installs of these components, especially together. A good set of Linux-based instructions are here... http://lamps.efactory.de/e-archive.shtml Or, that's only 5 packages to install. Could just 5 five seperate pkg_adds, and hope for the best. - A http://www.moundalexis.com On Wed, 28 Jul 2004 00:34:11 -0700 (PDT), DK [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I just wanted to know if there is available anywhere a Complete Package that is Ready to Go for a FreeBSD Server imlementation that contains: Apache PHP MySQL Mod_SSL Mod_Perl before anyone flames, yes I know you can just d/l the ports compile from source!

I don't think there exists such a package, but why don't make your own meta-port that depends on any package you want to install? In the same way the port x11/xorg doesn't install any files by itself, it depends on all packages that are needed to get a useable xorg configuration, the port you make will depend on anything you want! If you think that the configuration is really useful, commit the port, so that others in your present situation may take advantage of it. 1. Make a port, (misc/yourport), depending on Apache, MySQL, Mod_SSL, Mod_Perl, etc... 2. To install from package, run portinstall -P misc/yourport (this will build from source whenever a precompiled package doesn't exist). To learn how to make a port, read the Porter's Handbook at the FreeBSD website (I don't know how to make one, as I've never tried. It just struck me as being a good idea).

Unlike other apache mods, mod_ssl includes a bunch of patches to the base apache, so there isn't a separate mod_ssl port -- you'ld install the apache+mod_ssl package instead. That is if you want Apache-1.3.x. If you want Apache-2.0.x, then the mod_ssl functionality is bundled as one of the core modules. The apache2 package also comes with IPv6 support out of the box. In fact, all of those packages have multiple versions available in the ports tree -- your command line as is would need to be altered to select the appropriate versions of those servers. To the OP -- yes, that's more complicated than it might be, but the complexity is the flip side of flexibility and choice and the philosophy of giving you precise control over your computer.

Thats not what I am looking for. Tried that found it was too much messing around (compared to the equivalent on Windows 2000) Um, there is no equivalent on W2K, but I digress... One thing to remember is that Apache and mod_perl are usually run as two separate instances. You run static Apache off port 80, and dynamic Apache (hence +mod_perl) on port 8000 or whatever, and this is reverse-proxied back through the static server at port 80 (and 8000 is firewalled off from the outside). This results in big savings in memory. mod_perl processes can weigh 80Mb apiece, easily. Standard httpd processes weigh in at about 3Mb. You don't want to tie up an 80Mb process spoonfeeding some luser on a modem. Reverse proxying lets you have a large number of small static processes and only a handful of mod_perl processes. There are also a number of ways you can proxify the dynamic requests, so there's no one-size-fits-all. The easiest way is to do something like: ProxyPass/dyn http://localhost:8000/ ProxyPassReverse /dyn http://localhost:8000/ Then you have to decide who gets the https port. My advice would be let the static handle it. (--enable-ssl) Next, the question of MySQL. I expect you mean that PHP and/or mod_perl needs MySQL support. PHP configure will detect this automatically if you have it installed. In mod_perl, you'll probably want to attack it via Apache::DBI and DBD::Mysql. Finally, you can install mod_perl and PHP and DSO (i.e., loadable modules), after you have your basic installation up and running. (Just remember to --enable-so). The level of PHP processing you plan to do will indicate whether you should be running it directly out of port 80 or proxified from 8000. There are so many ways to put these pieces together, depending on your needs, that there is no simple package that puts them all together. I sympathise with your remark that it's so much easier under W2K. The trouble is, a well-tuned mod_perl installation will run rings around anything IIS/ASP can do, but that comes at a cost of knowing how to set it up. I would recommend investing in the mod_perl book by Stas Beckman and Eric Cholet. http://www.modperlbook.com/ Regards, David ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
