If you want an easy way to install from source, check out apache toolbox. It worries about all the dependencies, and it lets you grab all kinds of 3rd party modules. http://www.apachetoolbox.com/ -Marc -----Original Message----- From: wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org [mailto:wlug-admin@mail.wlug.org] On Behalf Of Eric R.

Hello everyone:

I would like to know what would be the way to install and configure APACHE, PHP (with Oracle support), and MYSQL on Debian 3.0?

Should I get the latest tarball versions of all these and just compile it or should I just get the debian packages and install them?

I'd go with source files.

How well do these servers run on Debian? Is there a better distro for them?

I'm a RedHat guy myself.

Thanks in advance for all your help and sorry for all the questions in one post.

You input would be apreciated.

I recently compiled Apache (with PHP, SSL, Perl) on a Debian box (I downloaded all the sources BTW) and it has been running fine, for the most part. The recent discussions reminded me that I had been having problems with the perl part of the build. Whenever a script is executed, I receive a "500 Internal Server Error" with the following in the logs: [DATE] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test-cgi failed [DATE] [error] [client IP] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/test-cgi The script is actually a stripped down version of my original one (pasted at the end of this email). The permissions are a+rx on the file, the path to perl and the file are correct, the directory is the one defined under ScriptAlias in the httpd.conf and the script executes fine from a prompt, ie 'perl test-cgi'. mod_perl didn't complain about anything and compiled correctly. Does anyone have any ideas about what the problem could be? Thanx in advance for your help! -Malcolm =================== BEGIN FILE #!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type: text/html \n\n"; print "<HTML>\n"; print "<HEAD>\n"; print "</HEAD>\n"; print "<BODY BGCOLOR=WHITE>\n\n"; print "<BR><BR>\n\n"; print "<CENTER><H3>Form Error</H3></CENTER><BR>\n"; print "<H2>\nErrors were encountered in the following fields:\n"; print "</BODY>\n"; print "</HTML>\n"; =================== END FILE

I add 'use strict;' and 'use CGI;' at the top, nothing changes and I still receive the same error. BUT, when they are removed, the script then works fine. WITHOUT changing anything else. Any ideas?

Well, does it from the command line fine with both those options? You mentioned that you installed everything from source...I assume you you're not referring to perl as well? Perhaps trying to run the script as the user apache is running as? Do you have the CGI module installed for perl? (isn't it included with the default installation? I forget...) -- Josh Huber

Hi Josh: I don't know if you already received my last post on "installing apache on Debian" but, I am having some problems getting it configured. I would like to know if you can please help me. I already did a search on google.com but didn't get much help. This is what I'm getting when I type ./configure -v --prefix=/usr/apache + Module setenvif: yes cd ..; gcc -DLINUX=22 -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I./lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED `./apaci` -o helpers/dummy helpers/dummy.c -lm /usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [dummy] Error 1 Creating Makefile in src + configured for Linux platform + setting C compiler to gcc + setting C pre-processor to NOT-AVAILABLE + checking for system header files + adding selected modules + using builtin Expat + checking sizeof various data types + doing sanity check on compiler and options ** A test compilation with your Makefile configuration ** failed.
