Ok here is my problem, I have Apache 1.3.26 runing (upgrading or rebuilding Apache isn't really a posibilty....at least not right now) on Solaris 8 (SPARC, 64-bit). How do I go about installing PHP and MySQL without rebuilding Apache. I have downloaded copied the following files to the Sun box:
php-4.3.7.tar.gz
MySQL-4.0.20-0.src.rpm (Source)
mysql-max-4.0.20-sun-solaris2.8-sparc-64bit.tar.gz (Binary)
mysql-4.0.20.tar.gz (Tarball)
tar-1.14.tar.gz (gnu tar)
You maybe wondering why did I copied have the file tar-1.14.tar.gz (gnu tar) well it's because of this statement on the MySQL site
Note: Because of a bug in the Solaris version of tar, you must use gnu tar to unpack these downloads.
Sure I kno that statement probably only apply to the bianry that hopefully I won't be using since I will be compiling from source.Anyway I have been reading about Dynamic Shared Object and about Apache Module mod_so but being a newbie it sounds a little bit too much so I decided to come over here to get som advice from the experts first.
By the way can anyone say whether PHP and/or MySQL comes with Solaris 8 (SPARC, 64-bit) installation CD's ?
You can assume that I have a compiler on the Sun Box (haven't gotten it yet but hopefully soon)
