Thanks for the info!

So the 'best' think would be:

MySQL first,

Apache 2nd,

PHP third, then php-extensions?

Also, Since its likely that this server will be replacing a live one, I selected php and mysql for to ensure the apps deployed are compatable.

No suprises wanted when the changeover time comes....

Err, no, I think it's better to do MySQL first:

installing database/MySQL server (4.1.18_1)
installing database/MySQL client (4.1.18)

Installing the server will normally also get you the client. Any reason
for not going with MySQL 5?

install lang/PHP4 (4.4.1_1)
install (use config) lang/php-extensions

If MySQL is already installed, php-mysql (or if using PHP5 also
php-mysqli) will pick up the libraries of the already installed
mysql-client. Any reason to not go with PHP 5?

install apache

Install Apache before PHP, especially when you're installing Apache 2.0
or 2.2. By doing that, PHP will pick up on the right apxs binary and
build with that compatibility in mind.
