Installation Requirements
AWF 2 already includes these components:
What you need to have installed is:
- PHP >= 5.0.3
- MySQL >= 3.23 (Version 4 or better recommended)
- PEAR::DB - simply run the command "pear install db" on your system or download it from pear.php.net
- PEAR::Text_Wiki is optional, but is required to render Wiki markup
- Apache with mod_rewrite - should be already installed on a Web server...

An average Linux distribution (as SuSE or Fedora) should be shipped with everything you need but PEAR::DB, which can be easily installed with the above mentioned command.
FreeBSD users can install the required software by running these commands as root:
cvsup /your/existing/ports-supfile (updates the /usr/ports
directory, so that you have the latest versions)
cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql41-server
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/apache13
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php5
make install cleanNice, isn't it?
If you want to have the latest PHP version, which is always a very good idea, you can compile and install it on your own:
cd /tmp (or whatever temp directory you like)
wget http://php.net/get/php-5.x.x.tar.bz2 (please get your
own download url from php.net/download.php!)
tar -xjf php-5.x.x.tar.bz2
cd php-5.x.x
./configure --with-apxs --with-mysql (or --with-mysqli for
MySQL >= 4.1)
make install cleanPlease note: Some Linux distributions don't have development tools preinstalled - you have to download and install the required RPMs (usually automake, flex and gcc) then.
Debian/Ubuntu users can install all dependencies with:
apt-get install mysql-server apache2 libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-mysqli php5-gd php-db php-pearCreated: 07.01.2006 22:37 CET, Last Change: 09.07.2006 15:05 CEST by aigarius
