so, should i install the rpm's from the cd and have it more intergrated?
or should i go from the source and have more uptodate stuff?

Date: Fri, 15 Sep 2006 17:13:15 -0400 If you compiled the apache source yourself the default install location for everything is below /usr/local/apache2. The document root (where all the html files go) is then /usr/local/apache2/htdocs, the httpd executable would be in /usr/local/apache2/bin, logs in /usr/local/apache2/logs. If RedHat's (or CentOS's) packaged rpm for apache was installed its more integrated into the rest of the system as opposed to isolated in /usr/local. The document root is /var/www/html, httpd is put in /usr/sbin/, and logs in /var/log/httpd So it looks like you have CentOS's apache installed, probability from when you first setup the system. Mysql is going to be similar depending on if you installed from source or the rpm. marc > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jason watts > Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 3:36 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [TriLUG] what is this stuff? > > ok, paying attention to the book i am reading, php and mysql > > it has me setting up my enviornment installing mysql, php and > appache 2 > > appache 2 and php is there from my former workings on the > computer, or the > original install > > the book said appache should be in ./usr/local/apache2 > also says if i had mysql installed, it would be in the same place, > ../usr/local/mysql > > it also says that the root directory for apache is in > /usr/local/apache2/htdocs > > on my system, the root directory for apache is in /var/www/html > > and as far as for apache, i ran find . -name httpd and came > up with several > things > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# find . -name httpd > ../etc/sysconfig/httpd > ../etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd > ../etc/logrotate.d/httpd > ../etc/httpd > ../usr/lib/httpd > ../usr/sbin/httpd > ../var/lock/subsys/httpd > ../var/log/httpd > > > my question is, which of these is the directory i need? > > what do these and some of the other ones not listed usually > used for?
