Build MySQL

1. cd /downloads
2. create a mysql user and mysql group if they don't already exist:
• groupadd mysql
• useradd -g mysql -d /usr/local/mysql -s /bin/false mysql
3. mkdir /var/run/mysql
4. chown -R mysql.mysql /var/run/mysql
5. wget latest source from http://www.mysql.com
6. tar zxvf mysql-5.0.24.tar.gz
7. cd mysql-5.0.24
8. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/home/mysql --enable-assembler --enable-thread-safe-client --with-unix-socket-path=/var/run/mysql/mysql.pid --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-extra-charsets=none --with-client-ldflags=-all-static --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static --without-debug --without-bench --without-docs
9. make
10. make install
11. echo "/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
12. ldconfig
13. cp /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
14. cd /usr/local/mysql
15. bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
16. cd /usr/local
17. chown -R root.mysql mysql
18. cd /home
19. chown -R mysql mysql
20. /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &
21. Now we will set the root password for localhost and host_name and delete the anonymous accounts for localhost and host_name
• /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root
• SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
• SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'host_name' = PASSWORD('newpwd');
• DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE Host='localhost' AND User='';
• DELETE FROM mysql.user WHERE Host='host_name' AND User='';
• FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
22. cp /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld

Configure Apache

1. cd /downloads
2. wget latest source from http://httpd.apache.org
3. tar zxvf apache_1.3.37.tar.gz
4. cd apache_1.3.37
5. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

Configure mod_ssl

1. cd /downloads
2. wget source that matches Apache version from http://www.modssl.org
3. tar zxvf mod_ssl-2.8.28-1.3.37.tar.gz
4. cd mod_ssl-2.8.28-1.3.37
5. ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.37 --with-ssl --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module-so

Build PHP

1. cd /downloads
2. wget latest source from http://www.php.net
3. tar zxvf php-5.1.4.tar.gz
4. cd php-5.1.4
5. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-apache=../apache_1.3.37 --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock --with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --with-openssl --enable-ftp --disable-debug --enable-memory-limit --enable-inline-optimization --enable-magic-quotes --enable-mbstring --enable-track-vars --enable-xml --with-dom --with-xml --enable-sockets --with-zlib --with-gettext --with-pear --with-apsell
6. make
7. make install
8. cp php.ini-recommended /etc/php.ini
9. edit /etc/php.ini and do the following:
• change "short_open_tag" to On
• change include_path to ".:/usr/local/lib/php"

Build Apache

1. cd /downloads/apache_1.3.37
2. Create apache user and group if they don't already exist:
• groupadd apache
• useradd -g apache -d /dev/null -s /bin/false apache
3. SSL_BASE=SYSTEM ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-layout=GNU --activate-module=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a --enable-module=ssl --disable-rule=SSL_COMPAT --enable-rule=SSL_SDBM --disable-module=status --disable-module=imap --server-uid=apache --server-gid=apache
4. make
5. make certificate TYPE=test
6. make install
7. edit /usr/local/apache/etc/httpd.conf do the following for PHP support:
• add "index.php" to DirectoryIndex directive"
• add "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .inc .class" to the end of the file
8. echo "/usr/local/apache/sbin/apachectl start" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
9. /usr/local/apache/sbin/apachectl start
10. The above starts Apache in normal mode. To start in SSL mode, do 'startssl' instead of 'start'.
11. go to http://your_server and https://your_server to make sure Apache is working on both ports 80 and 443
12. echo "<? phpinfo(); ?>" > /usr/local/apache/share/htdocs/test.php
13. go to http://your_server/test.php and see if your PHP is working
