Hi!

Whatever everyone said about compiling from source... I don't get it. I simply downgraded mysql to 3.23, modified httpd.conf, installed php-gdlib and was happy.

For the databases you simply have to copy the mysql-directories to your source/var/lib/mysql. Same goes for the php-code. Be warned though if your productive system is another distro. You will have to chown at least the mysql-files. If you have an upload-area on your webpresence, chown these files to mysql-data:mysql-data.

And watch your overall disk usage. Uninstall packets like tetex and emacs - this will yield you some freedom

All the best,
Christoph
