[PHP-INSTALL] Help installing PHP and Apache on Linux (Ubuntu 9.04)

[Felipe Quagliarelo]

Hello guys, i am having some trouble installing them on linux.

i installed linux yesterday and they didn't asked me to set a root password,
only for the account that i use (nero), howeover i am able to update my
system and so on with that user.


i have installed apache, owrking, howerover i can't create archives or edit
the default index.html that comes with apache, its says that i don't have
permission to do that (i tried it and i just cant) and since i don't have
the root password, i can't touch on it.

i tried to install php, the make && make install command isn't working, its
says that don't have a make file (i download the latest version from
php.netsite, the tar.gz one)

trying the install command (using install -p /home/nero/php-5.3.0/
/usr/local/php/ it isnt working too

any hints?

thanks

You'll have to sort these out yourself or with the help of your
operating system vendor or other support channels dedicated to that
kind of thing. These issues are not about php.

To generate the Makefile, you have to run the configure script first
with whatever options you want. Most UNIX software is installed in
this manner.

Not sure what you were trying to accomplish with this command. The
"install" command is used to copy individual binary files from one
place to another, but "/home/nero/php-5.3.0/" is a directory.
