A.2 Installation Overview
There are three approaches to
installing MySQL, Apache, and PHP:
Install a distribution of Linux that includes the software as
precompiled packages. This is the easiest approach, but is prone to
the problem of the software being out-of-date. Obtain an installation package or packages. Again, the software is
often out of date. Obtain and build the software from source code. This is the most
difficult approach, but it has the advantage that the latest software
is installed and the configuration layout and options are controlled
in the process.
This section focuses on the third approach.
