I am really need your hand in my critical problem , I want to install PHP and My SQL on my Solaris 9 station , I am already have Apache Webserver on it .
This is my system specs , I think it means some thing for who will help me :
SunOS STATION_NAME 5.9 Generic_112233-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100
64-bit sparcv9 kernel modules .
I tried a lot before asking you but belive me it is so hard for me because I am beginner in Unix in general and Solaris specially . I read so many documents and PHP.net manuals with no result . I want some body who guide me step by step , I am ready to download and do what you want completely ....
Really Thanks a lot for your Great Help
Solaris uses a utility called pkgadd to install software. You will need to download the appropriate Solaris 9 package from the MySQL or PHP website to begin with. A sunblade 100 is a sparc processor system, so if they give you a choice between sparc and x86 solaris versions be sure to choose sparc.
Once you have the package downloaded on your system, you would go to the directory where the package is and give this command:
pkgadd -d ./pkgname --where pkgname is the full name of the package.
If the package is tarred or gzipped you'll need to undo that first.
Other than those simple tips, I don't know what else to tell you. The download/install page for the open source app you're trying to use should have the detailed instructions you need to find and download the package on their website.
Don't know if you missed this or not. A google search for "mysql" and "php" will find the MySQL and php websites.
This should be suffiecient for you to find the information you need - there should not be a need for anyone to post a link. Remember - you have to want to help yourself. No one will spoon-feed you through this. I don't intend this to sound harsh, but if you require assistance such that you need someone to hold your hand through every step of the way, you really should hire someone to do this for you. Good luck.
