Jerry,

Understandable. Is I was looking for a full LAMP stack (Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc) would a groupinstall be a good option, or does it install a whole bunch of other garbage that is not necessarily needed for web serving?

I reviewed the document you linked me to but I still seem to have questions.

Group install is when you install a full suite of software together. If you use normal "Yum install" it will usually only install one software at a time. Take a look at this page, maybe it can help you. http://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=package-management

Gentlemen,

I have a question regarding yum groupinstall vs just using yum install. I have been reading tutorials online (for example how to run a Centos LAMP). Most of the tutorials have examples to install httpd, mysql, etc using yum install httpd....

The reason for this e-mail is that I noticed in yum grouplist that there is an option to install Web Server, MySQL database server, etc.

Question: Is there any advantage to using yum groupinstall for a webserver as opposed to using yum install httpd? I am just curious why most online docs dont mention groupinstall and only reference installing each app manually one by one.

Any information would be appreciated _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
