[support] Installing php/mysql issues

[Tom Holmes Jr.]

Good morning ....

I moved the whole .gz file over to the destination server.  Then I 
untarred the file on the destination server.   No FTP was involved, so I 
know all the files are there.

I am running Apache/PHP as root ... this is a development shared server 
that no one else is using ... so no one gets hurt.  ;-)
Since I installed Apache/PHP with mysql support via packages ... things 
are a little all over the place.
Believe it or not ... the Apache document root turned out to be: 
/var/www/html and drupal is installed under /var/www/html/drupal .... 
(where I untarred it)
All these files then should be owned by root ... I will change that and 
then check permissions.

I gotta tell ya ... since Resin has a ready web-server and PHP 
implemented via Java.  
Getting  Resin/Drupal and the database setup took no more than 10 minutes.
And I thought I was making great head-way ....

Anyway, I'll make these changes and try again ... I'll let you know how 
I make out now that Apache/PHP is out of the way.

Thanks again!
