LAMP server

[Lanonov]

Hi


Is it possible to change the Pandora into a LAMP server?


I do hope so

Set up a nice fast SD card as your primary boot card (not as hard as it sounds).

sudo opkg update

sudo opkg install apache2 php mysql

rejoice.

Is that ALL ???


Then I will wait 2 extra months

In this case, as with many others, I may suggest that a BeagleBoard as a headless server is the better alternative than using the Pandora.


Unless you have a special usecase in mind that requires the screen and keyboard and don't intend to leave it plugged in and connected all the time, in which case I am genuinely curious and would like to hear your plans

Yeah I'm using my Beagleboard in this manner. As cool as it is to have a mini portable web server I just can't figure a reason I would really need to do it. So my Pandora is going to be Games and portable SSH / VNCViewer "Work" device.

Something like a PogoPlug might fit him well too. There are guides on turning that into a LAMP, I know that I saw one on LifeHacker not to long ago.

At my workplace we have a "KnowledgeBase" in a lamp-server and it is very usefull.


For my own documentation i like to have a local "lamp-server" which i can use with a web browser.


It's just for me


Not for the world.


Is this what you wanted to read

One of the things that makes the Pandora so awesome. It may not make sense for most people do install a LAMP server on it, but if you really want one... Nothing is there to stop you. AND! It's easy to do.

As I joke I should wedge my Beagleboard in to a lamp for my "LAMP" server. think it's fitting, plus I need a reading light.

Ah yes, that is a pretty good use case for a portable interactive LAMP.


Sorry I doubted.

just a note concerning this, don't do it, it's fine for a basic webserver/sharing box, but anything fancy and it's a complete bitch to fix


(my dockstar (same difference) is currently bricked back to just a bootloader, due to apache screwing up and not liking things)

Please, please do this and post a picture.

 

[WizardStan]

using an X10 and Misterhouse you could build a lamp lamp LAMP server.

So I've been putting some time thinking about this, the only thing I'm missing is a lamp with a base that will allow for holes to be drilled in for the ports. I also want to keep all the wires internal, so I need a lamp with enough room for a power supply for the beagleboard. I may check out a few local stores this coming week.

It took a while (from 1-10-2008), but I HAVE MY OWN PANDORA


And thanks to mindlord, apache is running (ok httpd) and mysqld also


I use a SD-card for booting, the only thing is, that is is kernel 2.6.27 instead of 3.2, but that is another thing to find out later.


For now i am very happy

You can also use Slackware, which embed a lot of server-side stuff :

A simple LAMP setup would be good for people who would have something like a local installation of MediaWiki as their personal knowledgebase.


I'm glad the proper software is already ported.

Speaking about Wiki, thanks for all your work, spiralofhope ;^).

Hey guys - I have apache2 up & running ok, but I'm having problems getting php to work. It shows the page code instead of the actual page. The html pages render fine. It probably has something to do with a configuration file somewhere not being setup properly. The install directories were a little different from the linux pc I use from time-to-time, so I wasn't sure what to look for. For installation I followed the instructions above - sudo opkg install apache2 then I did php (separately).


Any ideas?
