How to install and configure PHP, Apache and MySQL on Linux ? How to do their interconnectivity on any linux?
Use Linux with no shell commands: definitely not.


If you plan on running a web server on a linux box, your going to need to know shell commands. Even if you can somehow get around without using shell commands during the install. You -WILL- need them to configure, maintain, and do fine turning.

what distro


u need to either


apt-get install apache mysql php


or


yum install apache mysql php


u will also need to install


mod_php or mod_mysql


they may come with the initial package


some distro's let u do


tasksel


and just choose lamp from the menu


after all is isntalled u'll need to make apache run as the proper user should be www-data or nobody


u need to set the ServerName to match whats in


/etc/hosts


if running locally u can leave at localhost


then u can comment out the extension mysql in php.ini


and u can use the LoadModule directive to load either php4 or 5 into apache.conf or httpd.conf


u'll need to configure the servers to start on boot


chkconfig apache on


chkconfig mysql on


mysql will complain about running as root so


do


mysqld %26amp;


then


mysql -u root


get into the client shell and do


grant all privileges on *.* to 'username'@'localhost' identified by 'password' with grant option;


that command will give u a username and password other than root to use on mysql,, now start the servers with the rc or init.d scripts in /etc/rc.d/* or /etc/init.d/* so


/etc/rc.d/mysqld start %26amp;%26amp; /etc/rc.d/httpd start


this can be in init.d as well


if u get errors check the log files


u prolly need to comment out unique ID's in apache to run on the localhost,, u should be able to drop a test php script in the apache document root and


chmod o+x test.php


and view it in a browser to see if the php is enabled


u can also run


php -i | grep 'configure'


to see how php was built


php -v shows the version running


the preferable way is to make and install the programs from source however i won't explain that as it is out the boundaries of yahoo answers. =)
