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

Build Apache

1. cd /downloads
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. wget latest source from http://httpd.apache.org
4. tar zxvf httpd-2.2.3.tar.gz
5. cd httpd-2.2.3
6. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-mods-shared=most --enable-deflate --enable-ssl
7. make
8. make install
9. echo "/usr/local/apache/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
10. ldconfig
11. cd /usr/local/apache/conf
12. mkdir ssl.crt ssl.key ssl.csr
13. openssl req -new -out server.csr
14. openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out server.key
15. openssl x509 -in server.csr -out server.crt -req -signkey server.key -days 365
16. rm privkey.pem
17. mv server.crt ssl.crt/
18. mv server.key ssl.key/
19. mv server.csr ssl.csr/
20. edit httpd.conf and do the following:
• Change User and Group to "apache"
• Uncomment "Include conf/extra/httpd-default.conf"
• Uncomment "Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf"
21. edit extras/httpd-ssl.conf and change the following (the paths don't have the ssl.* directories by default):
• SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
• SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key
22. echo "/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start" >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
23. /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
24. go to http://your_server and https://your_server to make sure Apache is working on both ports 80 and 443

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-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --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"
10. edit /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and do the following:
• make sure install added "LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so"
• add "index.php" to DirectoryIndex directive
• add "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .inc .class" to the end of the file
11. /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart
12. echo "<? phpinfo(); ?>" > /usr/local/apache/htdocs/test.php
13. go to http://your_server/test.php and see if your PHP is working
