Compiled SAMPP build instructions

I was recently asked to do create and document a containerless configuration of a Solaris 10 web server with Apache 2.2.4, MySQL 5.0.33, PHP 5.2.1, and Perl 5.8.7. Apache, MySQL, and PHP have complete compilation instructions. I will include the necessary configuration files (Apache in particular; built from scratch) or modification instructions.

Notes:

  1. This instructions assume that Solaris 10 is already installed and configured.
  2. These instructions assume you're root.
  3. Apache includes a self-signed SSL certificate, user directories, mod_perl, authnz-ldap, server-status and daily log rotation.
  4. I was requested to consolidate everything web related into /web for ease of administration and backup.
  5. This is not a fully optimized build, as there is no universal configuration that will work equally well for everyone. Therefore, read the manual and tweak where necessary (especially Apache).
  6. Additional Applications
    1. AWStats 6.6 with automatic log analysis
    2. phpMyAdmin 2.9.2 for MySQL administration

These instructions are culled and edited from my notes. Please let me know if I got something out of order or left something out.

Notes

LDAP .htaccess files (you'll have to tweak the LDAP URL for your environment)

AuthName "Password"
AuthType Basic
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthLDAPURL ldap://ldap:389/ou=people?uid
AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off 
require ldap-user "username"
