SuSE 9.1, apache & php4
Hi. SuSE newbie here. I have an opportunity to install a linux server at my new employer's, which to this point is a MS only shop. I have been running my own linux server using YellowDog on a Mac G3. This server will be primarily for running client's LAMP web sites. I've installed SuSE 9.1 and see that YAST's only option is to install apache2, which I don't want. I've found apache 1.3 something for SuSE 9.1 on the SuSE site, and have installed it along with MySQL 4. I am having trouble installing php4 though. Through YAST, the dependancy check insists on removing apache and installing apache2. Attempting to install it from another system fails dependency checks completely, looking for apache-mmn something, which I can find nowhere. I'm assuming that that php4 is compiled specifically for apache2. Fair enough. Does anyone have a php4 rpm available for SuSE 9.1/apache 1.3. Or any other advice? Thanks Rob

Do you ever get the feeling an idle desire to run a deprecated version is just not worth the effort? The time you spend resolving these dependencies could be better spent learning Apache2, (which is not that hard, and not that different. Get the sources and try to build by scratch. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Yeah, I have considered this. But I want to be extra conservative about this installation because it's an MS shop, and any problems with be blamed on open source quality. I've very familiar with Apache 1.2 & 3, but Apache2 is unknown to me. I have shell scripts already written that apply to Apache1, and wanted to deal with apache2 only when I needed to. I had just hoped that there were others in my position and that there was an rpm being maintained somewhere. Rob

Rob, I was in your position about six months ago (but on SLES 8). I decided to go with Apache2 and have had no problems at all because of that decision. I've got PHP, the Tomcat connector and GZIP all turned on without much problem. If you need to do anything complex and you are familiar with Apache 1.3, then yes you might be better off trying 1.3. But for vanilla HTML, PHP and Java it seems to be just fine. Hope this helps - Richard
