You've mentioned you're using Mandriva, which, coincidentally, is what i've just recently installed on my home machine. It has a very good graphical package manager that you can use to install PHP and Apache. I'm not at my home machine right now, so I don't recall the exact name, but it's found somewhere in the Computer Settings main menu dialogue. From here, you can install Apache and PHP, which will configure Apache as well to recognise PHP scripts and execute them. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

I suspect that there is a fault with the way that mandriva builds the packages.

It seems likely that it wasn't for some reason. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

It seems likely that it wasn't for some reason. How to verify please? Also, the instruction to use task-lamp; it seems this is for mysql but the database to be used is postgresql?

Use the package manager to check and see if that was installed. I'm not familiar with the command line for rpmi, having used Yum on Fedora mostly, but on that you would just do a 'yum list apache-mod*' to see what apache mods were installed and available, so I assume something similar exists for rpmi. The task-lamp will be using MySQL, as it is the 'm' of lamp (Linux, Apache, MySQL & PHP) Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk |
