how to install php on linux

[sharajob]

hi, please let me know how to install PHP and mysql on linux

[nashirak]

What distro are you using? If you are using debian... its a nice

apt-get install apache
apt-get install mysql
apt-get install php4
apt-get install php4-mysql

And you are done... no compiling no dependancy issues.

However if you arent... then depending on your distro, you are going to have to do something different. Red hat download some RPMS and install em... find em at:

rpmfind.net

Mandrake some type of .mdk files. I am assuming you are not a slackware user as you would not be asking this question. 🙂 There are other versions out there that have similar packaging systems.

Now if you are feeling brave, you could always compile apache, php4, and mysql together... although unless you need to have something special or something this would be a waste of time and asprin: Here is a link for detailed instructions if you want to try it:

Hope this Helps!
