Where to start: Apache, MySql, & PHP

[mabhatter]

I know that those programs are on the CD--I checked!
How do I get to them? And can they be setup to run directly from the CD?

I've got my trusty O'rielly book that tells how to use them, but the setup is obviously for HD installs--Knoppix is a very special case! I'd like to get them setup to run just from the disc if it's possible. I can keep the data files on the network--I got that figured out. I just can't seem to find anything about turning them on!

thanks

Deamons Control Scripts:
Look in the /etc/init.d/ library for deamon control scripts - and run them as root eg.:

sh /etc/init.d/apache restart

Since it is a script calling different binary-files based on a specific configurationfiles, you can look in the file for the placement of eg. httpd.conf (Configurationfile for Apache)

Start Deamon at Boottime:
To start the deamons at boottime place a symboliclink in /etc/rcS.d to the deamon control script in /etc/init.d/.
Give the link a name starting with a capital S (start) and then a execution number eg:

ln -s ../init.d/apache /etc/rcS.d/S61apache

Hope it helped you in the right direction

PS: PHP is most likely loaded as a module by Apache (Haven't checked)
