Hi,

I wanted to see what order(s) people think is best to install these software. I will install PHP, latest version; Apache, latest; and MySQL, latest on a Red Hat 7.3 OS. Or do different versions work best together?

I really dont know and would like to get it off to a good start. 😃 Thanks!

    install apache and mysql first, in whatever order you want. then install php as an apache module. i've heard that there are problems compiling php 4.2.2 as a module of apache 2.x; apache 1.3.whatever should work just fine. good luck.

      Thanks Merk (can I call you Merk? 🙂 )

      I just read elsewhere here that PHP4.2.2 is designed for Apache 2.0.39 and below, PHP4.3 is for Apache 2.0.40 and above. There are some fixes suggested but are too "risky" for me since this will be for work. PHP 4.3 is not out yet.

      I think I'll stick with the older version of Apache for now. Thanks for your help! 🙂

        Not sure if you have a *nix system or a windows system, so I'll post both links here.

        To get the new *nix copy of PHP, click here, or to get the new windows copy of PHP, click here.
