Reading PhP files

[fabie]

Hi All,

I'm a newbe to Linux on my home computer, but would like to get to know better how my server works. I downloaded a backup of one of my websites, and would like to get it running on my home computer. I have Fedora core 6 installed on my home computer with the the minimum server, developer & personal setups. I believe phP is already installed,

My first question is, how do I get Firefox or whatever read my .php files, they read the .html files fine.

PHP is interpreted on the server side, you must access any PHP scripts through the http server, not directly as files.

You must also correctly install your web app files in /var/www/html/ and view them by turning on the server and going to http://localhost/ in firefox. Going to that address will correctly access your running webserver on your machine.

you must install php .....see step 4 and Apache Web Server (httpd)..see step
2.1




1. su -
2. rpm -qa|grep httpd
(to see ,that you have Apache install)
If there then: 2.1 if not then yum install httpd
3. service httpd start
4. yum install php php-mysql phpMyAdmin . . . etc
5. yum install mysql .....etc
6. service mysqld start
7. gedit /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 localhost
************************************
8. save and restart Fedora

After all :

http://localhost/ -your Web Server
by default DOCUMENT_ROOT of server(where you put your php,html files)
is in /var/www/html

you can edit this in httpd.conf file

if you install phpMyAdmin in step 5 then
http://localhost/phpMyAdmin - for MySQL

OK so far so good.
1. Now how do I get into PHP MySql. I am used togetting in from my server using cpanel.
2. I get asn error no MySqlD service.

[fabie]

Sorry didn't read the end of your last post, with linkto MySql server.

[fabie]

Getting this error:
phpMyAdmin - error

#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

You need to satrt your MySQL server as root: `su -` `service mysqld start`

Or use 'System->Administration->Server Settings->Services'

Tried that, it doesn't work.
There is no MySql.Sock, which apparently is due to lack of service mysqld.
I've tried -
1. reinstalling mysql,
2. creating a mysql.sock file,
3. changing file to point to mysqql.sock, which anyways didn't get created,
4. looking around the web, it seems to be a common problem.

My only thought is maybe there are other programs to install.

Looking for some help.

mysql.sock is created when you start the service.

How/ from where did you install apache and mysql?

I installed the standard web-server from a burnt DVD, along with personal use and development Fedora core 6. Upgraded the software last night, and installed the other packages reccomended in this thread through yum.

go to :

System->Administration->Security Level and Firewall and disabled SELinux and firewal
it's block mysql.sock

and then start mysql and httpd


[zivko@mail ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@mail ~]# service mysqld start
Starting MySQL: [ OK ]
[root@mail ~]# service httpd start

OK, I think I've got it. I did a yum groupinstall mysql, then a service mysqld start, and it worked.

Now I'm having a problem logging into phpMyAdmin. I seem to recall some sort of password setting.
