Hello,
I am rather new to Linux but an old timer at software development. I am
investigating alternate platforms for future development for my company.
Linux is at the top of the list.
I am trying to get a server setup with a db (PostgreSQL), web server
(Apache), and some sort of web scripting language (PHP). I can not make
everything work together. PHP4 won't work out-of-the-box with PostgreSQL
because PHP doesn't have support for PosgreSQL built in at compile time (why
not just build everything into when it was initially built?).
So I get the sources to PHP and try to build. However, it wants the sources
(header files) for Apache.
At this point I don't want to go any further. Eventually, I'll probably
need the sources for everything.
Is there an easy way to do this sort of stuff on Linux or is it better to
just buy off the shelf products that work?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,
I understand your frustration. I am in a similar situation. We have a DB that was
developed using PostgreSQL, that has a web-based front-end (Apache/PHP). I was the
designer of the system, but I am not a programmer. Well, up to now, the guys that
designed the system have been hosting us, but my boss wants me to take this thing over
sometime soon, so I am in the process of learning.
One thing I will say - if you are going to use Linux, you will *need* to learn how to
compile programs from the source. It really isn't that hard - its just different.
I'm actually having fun, now that I'm getting familiar with the environment (I'm a
Winbloze Admin making the switch).
So, my advice is, just learn it. You won't be sorry. Linux is so much more stable,
and being able to make modifications to the app if it doesn't do something you want is
invaluable. Also, not having to keep up with software licenses is such a relief.
If you really don't want to learn the nuts-n-bolts of linux, and just want to program,
then just hire a Linux guy from your local Linux User Group to do the dirty work.
Stuff like this doesn't take much time at all for someone who knows what they are
doing. Once you're comfortable with them, you can give them remote access - this way,
they only charge you for actual work they do - if somethinbg takes two hours to
compile, they won't have to charge you for that time (unless they are dishonest).
Just my .02 clad coins worth...
Charles

The manual page for PostgreSQL did not exaplain about --with-pgsql
option just like most modules' manual pages didn't :)
However, I think install section explains how to selectively install
modules.

It *MUST* be there, if you want Apache SAPI. It's the way should be.

If you follow installation instruction closely (PostgreSQL, Apache, PHP)
there would be no problems.
Make sure you build/install them with this order. PostgreSQL->Apache->PHP.

Install from RPM or like, they should work out of box.
BTW, do not cross post :)

Hi again.
Just thought I should inform you that Sablotron works now with PHP. I
recompiled it with JavaScript disabled.

this one shouldn't be too hard. got PHP working on my system fianlly. but
when I load the page up it won't load index.php it instead it llooks for an
index.html and when it can't find one it just displays all the files in the
root system folder. been looking around in the httpd.conf file but can't
find anything to set what file for it to look for.

<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
If you want to turn auto-indexing (listing of folder contents) off, just
find the Directory directive for your document root and remove Indexes from
Options. It should look something like this:
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Options MultiViews FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
