LAMP on RHEL 5 (Server)

[George Magklaras]

What I tend to do to avoid issues with RHEL5 dependencies is to use a 
project like XAMPP

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html

This gives me an RHEL dependency free environment to run a LAMP setup, 
as it references its own version of MySQL,PHP and other important libs.

You might like to give it a go.
