hi all
i'd like to do some php work on a hd install of knoppix, so i need a working apache server with php support and a mysql database.
i know, i simply could install xampp or something similar, but i'm interested how i could configure the system on my own (if it is not too hard).
do you have any suggestions for me where to start? i'm an absolute newbie, on windows i used xampp...
thank you for help. :)

nobody any idea? :(
Josh, it's all there already.
As root do:
/usr/sbin/apache
in an editor create this file:
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
save it as
phpinfo.php
and copy it to /www/var/
pop open a web browser and enter:
http://localhost/phpinfo.php
and there you have it: php and Apache working in perfect harmony.
I'll leave you to sort out MySQL yourself (it's already in Knoppix) , but there is an excellent manual and plenty of tutorials on line.
oh man i'm so intelligent! ;)
ok, already found it out with my knoppix book... but i can't connect to mysql... i'll search for some tutorials first before asking other stupid questions. ;) thank you.
hrm ok i think i don't get it on my own...
when i enter "mysql" in a command line it tells me
Can't connect to local MySQL Server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
i have no idea what this mysqld.sock is, but i created such a file in /var/.... and retried:
Can't connect to local MySQL Server through socked '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)
so only the number in the end has changed at all...
what can i do? apache is running, and php is working, too... :-/
thanks for help! :)
