How to setup web service with UNIX server ?

thanks,
can you explain if I choose option 2. I don't mind to include mySQL as well because I want it for test first until everything settle, then I will connect to Oracle later. Can I uninstall it later ?

Can you provide me the link to download apache and other package for my unix server ?
I found XAMPP for solaris. It seems familiar since I already done it with windows. But it said that
it has security issue.. But setting is easier than Appserv.

>>.. It's also not as necessary as on a Windows server for obvious reasons
you mean UNIX don't need antivirus at all ?

For the antivirus part:

Unix and Linux are just as capable of being infected by viruses as Windows; the reason they don't is because they are much more difficult to exploit.  Most servers have just a few ports open, which minimizes the attack surface.

It is possible to run a UNIX/Linux server without any antivirus, as long as there is no user-uploaded content; users can accidentally upload content (images, MP3's, PDFs, etc) that contain viruses.  It is unlikely to infect the server itself, but can affect vulnerable systems that access those files.

Hi again,

If you choose option 2 you install pre-built binaries distributed by Oracle or third parties. So you won't have to compile the packages yourself. You can use the pkgadd command for that. You can install Mysql both ways too and yes you can uninstall it later. If you use the pkgadd way to install it you can use pkgrm.

If you're gonna use the server in a production environment I don't recommend XAMP/SAMP or whatever *AMP package, because those are mainly targeting development environments to get you going quickly.

If you wanna go option 1 you can download the sourcecode of apache, php and mysql. You can get Apache from here: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi
and PHP here: http://www.php.net/get/php-5.3.6.tar.gz/from/a/mirror

There are 2 unix source,
a. http-2.2.18.tar.gz &
b. http-2.2.18.tar.bz2.
So which one ?

Also I can only download it from my pc. How can I copy to unix. Can you guide me on this ? I only knew some basic unix command.

Currently we are using it for production simply due to easy setup include ssl everything... can you suggest me other option ? How do we go about it ? Do we have to install one by one, apache,php,others etc... Are we gonna do the same for unix setup ?

>>Or you can place the downloaded file on a webserver on the intranet. Maybe the windows 2003 >>server? And then do a wget from the solaris server to the local server.

I did that already and in fact, from unix server, I just browse our webserver and click to the file, save it.
Then I open it, extract them all to unix folder. But I didn't use wget. Am I doing right ? How can I install the extracted files ?

Yeah it's ok if you downloaded it already, so you won't need to use wget anymore.

What you gotta do now is login to the unix server (console or using ssh from the pc) and then go to the folder where you extracted the files.
Then start by installing apache:
cd httpd-2.*
./configure --enable-so
make
make install

Sorry for not updating you.
Bit strange that I couldn't find the extracted files.... I am gonna start it again

Okay, no problem. Let me know if you walk into problems.

hi,
I found the folder but I couldn't find make file.

Under http-2.2.18
I found Makefile.in and Makefile.win

Can you guide me step-by-step, the command that I should execute. There is also a file install.
Here is the snapshot.

Hi,

You should run ./configure first from the directory where the sources are. The configure script will create the Makefile specifically for your setup. After that you can run make and make install.

Already did. It run ./configure but then cant run make, make install.
refer to attach file
Unix-2.docx

Aha, it looks like you don't have the make program itself yet.
You can get it from sunfreeware: ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/make-3.82-sol10-sparc-local.gz
Download it, and then unzip it and then install it using pkgadd

I just downloaded it.
FYI , all downloaded files are in apache_temp folder which I keep at desktop.

Before I start, I want to know whether I can install apache at any folder or its automatically
installed to default folder. I want to install it to new folder but where should I create it ? What is your recommendation and best place ? Do I need to move all installation files into this new folder?

Hi,

First for installing 'make': pkgadd installs the files in the package to a default location on the system. Unless you use the -R (I believe) option to specify your own root-folder. But usually you just want to use the default, so to install the 'make' package, do something like this:

cd /root/apache_temp (or wherever the directory is on the server)
gunzip make-3.82-sol10-sparc-local.gz
pkgadd -d make-3.82-sol10-sparc-local

Now you should have make available and you can continue to compile apache.

As for packages you compile yourself, you can determine your own installation path for that too. By default apache ends up in /usr/local/apache2 I think. If you want to specify your own root, you should specify the --prefix option in the configure command, i.e.:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/myapache

and then:
make
make install

Hi, I managed to run pkgadd, but then failed to proceed (make, make install)

# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/myapache

I think you have to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH environment variable, so it can find make.
How to set the path variable depends on your shell, but for bourne/bash it's like this:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

After that you should be able to run make.

rubene,
this is another error ...
I run this command at the same place as I did for pkgadd.
which is  at /export/home/oracle/apache_jhd but I tried both as follow :

1.
# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin: is not an identifier

2.
# export PATH=$PATH:/export/home/oracle/apache_jhd
PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/export/home/oracle/apache_jhd: is not an identifier

Hi,

That's because your shell doesn't support this syntax. Try it like this instead:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
export PATH

Another error...

Hi,

Did you execute configure first? Cause you need to do that before running make

Yes I did,

# cd export/home/oracle
# ls
apache_jhd    Documents     oslevel       sqlnet.log
Desktop       oraInventory  OSLEVEL
# cd apache_jhd
# PATH=$PATH:/export/home/oracle/apache_jhd
# export PATH
# ./configure
./configure: not found
# ./configure --prefix=/export/home/oracle/apache_jhd
./configure: not found
#

Check in the directory you're running "./configure" in to make sure that command exists.  It may have a different name; there may also be a README or SETUP file that will point you in the right direction (there's generally a text file with step-by-step instructions on how to compile).

That's actually strange, because you were able to run it in an earlier post. Can you list the contents of the apache_jhd directory?

Also you might wanna try to run it like this:

sh ./configure

It cannot seem to find gcc. What if you just type gcc on the commandline. It should say something like "gcc: no input files". If it doesn't and returns something like command not found then locate it first.
To do this use the find command:

find / -name gcc -print

Then when you found out where the gcc executable is located then add it to your PATH variable (PATH=$PATH:/path/to/gcc then export PATH).

# find / -name gcc -print
/usr/sfw/lib/gcc
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/lib
# export PATH
# ./configure --enable-so

then it run ( long process, I can't copy all output ), but here the last part

Now what should ?

I did the following just after running configure...

# find / -name make -print

Ah good, we're getting there. Now gcc is missing a shared library libintl. You can also download it from sunfreeware, see: ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/sparc/10/libintl-3.4.0-sol10-sparc-local.gz
Unpack it and pkgadd it first and then try running make again.

rubene,
Sorry for not updating anything since your last post. Actually I am on leave after that.
Anyway, I am back but I am just wandering where should I unpack the file that you
suggested. I already downloaded it.
Is it ok to unpack here /export/home/oracle/apache_jhd/make ?

thanks.

The problem solved but done by my administrator. He also follow all Rubene guides. Even not completed, but he finally had done it. Big contributors is to Rubene.
