Lately I just acquired a barebone pc from a relative of mine. Well at first I didn’t have any use for it. But then I thought this would be a great idea if I would use it for a development box. And a Linux one with Apache, MySQL & Php.
Well at the moment I am not that great at the whole linux command line configuration of apache, mysql & php. But I was able to get apache running on its own without php or any other modules that are being loaded.
Another cool feature that I installed is subversion which I am pretty familiar with as its really easy to use. With that I was able to fully understand and use subversion on some of my project. I am using tortoise as the client for windows and it rocks. It is pretty nice to use and really fast as I am running it on the LAN with a 100MBps speed so uploading files and downloading revision is much faster than over the internet. Plus it has some pretty cool features as branching off the project and taging it into versions for later use which is pretty cool to me.
Now I am just trying to get a pretty decent configuration for apache, php, mysql so that it can do what I want, fast and secured. I will continue blogging about this new little project and probably post some tutorial.
Might I recommend LAMPP? (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html) I have it running on my linux machine and setup was very easy along with configuration.
yeah i used it on windows and linux but this time i want to install everything from scratch. It is pretty hard as some of the insallation doesn’t want to work with zlib or can’t find zlib. Thanks for that.
