PHP MYSql Server for OpenPandora

[aszu]

Hi, i have started  to learn PHP/MYSQL and i wonder if there is a package like XAMPP or similar Apache/Mysql package for OpenPandora?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

It's all included in Slackware:

You'll also have to enable mod_php .

MariaDB (the MySQL replacement) will be included in the next release.

Meanwhile, you can use the old MySQL.

Cheers!

I have managed to install slack, i think i have done everything right, as after typing localhost in firefox it comes up with the "it works!" msg

As my Linux knowledge is very limited, i need more help

Where's the directory for files, the path for localhost?

and how do i access mysql? just go for the command line?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Http folder:

/srv/www/htdocs/

Depends on how you want to access the db.

 

[aszu]

is there an equivalent of phpmyadmin of xampp?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Yes:

http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.0/network/phpmyadmin/

Install it through sbopkg:

Thanks, i have installed phpmyadmin but there`s one more problem. mysql

but after typing mysql in terminal i`m getting error:

cannot connect to local mysql server through socket /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock

i belive it means mysql is not installed. i had a look and the only one repo i found was mysql sandbox, buyt after installing it nothing changes...

You have to make the launcher executable for it to start at boot:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld

/etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld start

Then you can create your databases.

You can of course install Pandebian and install the stuff you need in it.
