Fedora, Apache & PHP

[Peter Borcherds]

RE: Fedora, Apache & PHPThanks Bryan,

Good point there...I wish I had the time to learn all this, but at the
moment I just want to set up a Linux server for PHP testing and multimedia
file serving...I know a fair bit about the shell, but am too busy too get
stuck in more...

I just need to know what programs I should use to maximise the potential of
a Linux server - ie. mail servers, network configuration, etc.   Where is
the best place to find out all this info?

  Of course you can install these packages with applications such as yum,
apt-get or even the add remove programs from the fedora menu. However if you
are a newbie and you want to learn the NOS yourself (which is the main
reason I find people use Linux distributions). You must get your hands dirty
using the shell.

  This is the only way you will understand how the runlevels work, where
your packages are installed, the directory structure and important files
that your newly installed packages use, the way that the software packages
are dependent on each other, how to fix things when they go wrong and so on
and so on and so on....

  I have been using various Linux Distributions for over three years and
have just begun to scratch the surface of its scalability, configurability
and and versatility. This is not something that you should take lightly. All
point click options are referenced to actual shell commands (unlike windows
os'es). You will be doing yourself a grave injustice to not pickup a book
and use the shell until you get a good understanding of how things come
together.

  That's all I have to say about that.. Good luck in your Linux endeavor.
