Hi Wayne,
First of all i noticed that your probably a bit new to Apache, mySQL and
PHP, a good start might be to learn more about these software packages,
how they work, how the general installation goes and anything else you can
find out.
A good start might be:
www.apache.org
www.php.net
www.mysql.com
Second, it is possible to install everything you need with the FreeBSD
ports collection. I'll show you how it's basically done.
How (assuming the machine has an internet hookup):
First let's install Apache-modSSL:
Login, su to root and cd to:
/usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl
Here type 'make install clean', the port will now be fetched from a ftp
server, then extracted, configured and installed, with probably some
dependencies.
Second let's install PHP:
Assuming your still in /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl do a cd to:
/usr/ports/www/mod_php4
Here again type 'make install clean' (if you you want the php commandline
interpreter, do not use 'clean', then you can copy it from the work
directory lateron), the port will again be fetched
from a ftp server, then extracted, configured and installed, with some
dependencies.
When installing PHP keep in mind a few things, first: during the
installation you will be given a menu, make sure, you mark the option for
mysql support! (yes! :-)) Second, after the installation process is done,
make sure you see the following configuration in your
/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf:
--snip--
LoadModule setenvif_module libexec/apache/mod_setenvif.so
LoadModule php4_module libexec/apache/libphp4.so
<IfDefine SSL>
LoadModule ssl_module libexec/apache/libssl.so
</IfDefine>
--snip--
--snip--
AddModule mod_setenvif.c
AddModule mod_php4.c
<IfDefine SSL>
AddModule mod_ssl.c
</IfDefine>
--snip--
--snip-- (something like the following)
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
<IfModule mod_php3.c>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_php4.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php3 index.html
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_php3.c>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_php4.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>
--snip--
After this (and editing your httpd.conf a little further for apache
itself) you can start your apache webserver, with php support and the
modssl by typing as root:
apachectl startssl
Or if it's allready running:
apachectl configtest
apachectl graceful (yes one 'l'!)
Or without modssl:
apachectl start/configtest/graceful
Ok now you got almost everything except the database.. (when looking
closer you'll see you allready have the mysql-client port, installed as
a dependencie, but not the mysql-server port). By the way, you can test
your php by creating a php webpage with the phpinfo() function.
Well assuming your still root, cd to:
/usr/ports/databases/mysql323-server
Here run 'make install clean' again, and the usual procedure will repeat
itself. When it's done installing run 'safe_mysqld &' to start it up (if
it hasn't allready)
Offcourse there are allot of configuration options (and allot of
security issues you might want to keep in mind, especially: PHP and
mySQL) but this should get you on your way and help you through the
process of installation, i might haven't told you every detail about the
install, but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out any questions you
might encounter, if you have anymore questions that you can't solve, even
after reading documentation, don't hesitate to ask!
More information about installing FreeBSD ports is on:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html
Hope this helps and isn't too confusing ;-) i tried to keep it simple,
Thomas
