Apache Friends Support Forum

I am building a new server with RH9 and would like your recomendation on what to install to best suit an XAMPP install.

I noticed two previous posts having to do with an RH9 fix:

Is this still applicable. Also, is RH9 the best RH version for this.

Thank you for your help,

Dave

HI!

We have users, how use Xampp 1.4 without any problems on RH 9.0.

Think you can any new distri. with Xampp!

Would you do just a minimal install on RH 9 or are there other packages you would add to the install?

Hi Dave!

Minimal installation is enough! (I assume minimal install includes awk) Please check this out. Simple call awk in a shell. XAMPP needs that command.

Only if you would like to use a XAMPP upgrade you also need the patch command installed. As far as I know patch isn't included in a minimal installation. But I may be wrong. There are so many distributions.

I wanted to thank you for your help. The install of XAMPP on the new RH 9.0 server went better than expected.

I have had good success with Redhat, however I am concerned about their new licensing:

Do you have a preferred distro to use with XAMPP?

Thank you again for your help,
