Installing Packages in Mandrake
Hey, sorry to bother you guys, but I'm trying to install Apache, PHP, mySQL, PHP-Nuke, and Perl in Linux Mandrake 7.2. I downloaded separate packages, but they're giving me problems. I was wondering if I can install them off any of the mandrake cds, as I have retail and it came with four cds. I heard that Mandrake comes with these packages already. Can someone please tell me how to install them? Thanks.

I use 'drake 8.2, so I can't speak for sure about 7.2, but those packages should be on one of your install CDs. Poke around the RPMS drirectory on each CD and see if you can't find some rpm packages where the package name contains what your looking for. That will usually work. Another source is http://rpmfind.net. There is a good search facility there. Just type in some part of the name of what you're looking for and it should bring you to a page full of links. You can then select the link for the version of a package that's closest to your distro.
On the other hand, Mandrake 7.2 is a little old in terms of the kernel, as well as other packages. It might be worth your while to upgrade to a more modern distro. Of course that can be tough if you're on a 56K dialup, but there are inexpensive sources for already-built CDs. Just a thought  , good luck to you.

If memory serves me, you should be able to open these .rpm files with Kpackage in kde desktop in ver 7.2. One or more of the cds should have an rpm directory with the correct rpms. Kpackage should let you know of any dependency problems. If you really intend to use a server like Apache, though, I'd opt for a newer distribution, and get the latest ver of Apache, that you can. This way you will avoid an older version, that may have known security exploits. If you have a dial-up and wish to get the newer gpl linux disks, you should be able to find them at places like
http://www.lsl.com/ http://www.linuxcentral.com/ There are many others that sell GPL disks. |
