hi all,
i'm not an expert on linux/centos, but i play with it and have a general idea. it's time for me to setup a centos box for development. i rarely install anything from source, except a few times in college when i have to modify kernel for OS project. but i guess i can learn now.
i just installed centos 5 with minimal installation. next step is to install LAMP w/ SSL.
i found http://lamphowto.com/lampssl.html, but i have questions before i proceed.
is it better to install from source or rpm? how easy it is to upgrade/update if install from source? it seems so much easy to upgrade/update from rpm, well b/c i'm always do this way.
is there any other instruction (beside the one mentioned above) to install LAMP w/ SSL?
appreciate your help/suggestion t. hiep
It's better to stick to the RPMs to make it easier to upgrade. If you want an easy way to install LAMP you can run 2 commands
yum -y groupinstall "Web Server" yum -y install mysql-server php-mysql
This will get Apache, MySQL, and PHP all installed.
