I am, of course - absent a PET or SFS - greeted with a problem not covered in the instructions.
After increasing the size of my personal storage file 3-times, rebooting - as required - between each, I finally got almost all the way through when confronted with this:
gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
lampp/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i686-linux/auto/PerlIO/
lampp/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i686-linux/auto/PerlIO/encoding/
lampp/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i686-linux/auto/PerlIO/encoding/encoding.so

lampp/lib/perl5/5.10.1/i686-linux/auto/PerlIO/via/via.so
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
#
QUESTIONS:
1. Is there an obvious solution to this problem?
2. Is it really necessary to stuff this in /opt rather than in /mnt/savestuff/xampp and symlink it?
3. The instructions say that the php scripts must all be stored in htdocs in the lampp directory - which would appear to further bloat the size of my personal storage file.
All I needed was a simple PET or SFS to handle the installation of a commonly-needed MySQL database ... sigh.

ANSWERS:
1- yes, install xampp in a location where there is space enough
2- I have expanded xampp to in /mnt/home/opt/ and symlinked
3- Storage location is always setup in .../lampp/etc/httpd
.conf, and htdocs is just a default!

I am afraid that when I saw the LHMP threads, including this one
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=105 it was unclear if a) it would work with Exprimo, b) if it would build a standalone MySQL.
I did many many searches re. "sql", "mysql", etc. for Puppy and came up with confusing, dead-end, or otherwise uncertain results - I wish Puppy resources like this were better indexed - and maintained as to sub-Puppy distro compatibility and active-vs-abandoned status.
Is it possible to uninstall a partially-installed XAMPP without having to chase-down the many files manually?
I'd like things as clean as possible before loading LHMP.
Thanks!

Code: Select all

I ran the LHMP....PET
No impact on either the Remote Drive or MythTV apps.
I'm not sure how to check to see if MySQL has been created or what may be wrong.
I have not symlinked anything yet either.
I checked for libssl and found:
/usr/lib/libssl.so
/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
/usr/lib/libssl3.so.1d
I'm nor sure what to look for or what other steps to take.
WDYT?

Does this help?
I tried this:
# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
#
Then I searched "mysql" and found tons of files.
No idea how to proceed to get things where they will talk to each other; RemoteDroidServer needs it, I think MythTV needs it, but neither sees it.

my guess is that your save file was still not big enough for lampp.
You will need to start
so something similar for lhmp pet

I cannot find LHMP anywhere, other than
/root/.packages/LHMP-8.0-5.3.4-5.3.10.files
*sigh* Help Please!

Hi all,
As most of us noobs do
, I have spent the better part of a week (6 days actually) searching these forums for any information or a simple "how-to" on getting PHP to work. I have hiawatha running (was simple enough once I found out it was already there, just waiting to be used) and it renders html flawlessly.
I have found some things, LAMP for one, but it does not register in any accessible means that I can find. For the most part, the information I find is either (1) Broken links and/or information outdated by a year or more and two or three versions of puppy behind
or (2) simply too complicated for a noob such as I to understand and/or just does not seem to function.
http://localhost/index.php or
http://127.0.0.1/index.php renders only the coded page (i.e. the actual script as it would in an editor), not the page itself.
At this point I'm not even sure if my attempts are working or not.
There may be a special directory that the php files need to go? a setting that is turned off that simply needs to be turned on? After installing LAMP, i noticed that no rc.http files were created in /etc/init.d, /etc/hiawatha or any other directory . I assume, therefore, that the pet install - though prompted as complete - did not take.
I am attempting this on two machines - one using Lucid 5.28 and the other using Precise 5.4.3. Both are frugals on an AMD duron with 775 MB ram and 80 GB HDD. both PSF are set at about 30 GB (yea, it took a while) so space should be no issue.
I am thinking about trying the xampp approach once I remove all the LAMP and stuff. Basically, all I need is to be able to run a PHP program on one machine - no need at this point to publish it to the web, just host it on the one machine.
I am new-ish to Puppy and still learning, but have some experience with web servers (though very limited). It seems to me there should be an easy, step-by-step process in which to establish a working php server. especially since the server part is already there. Maybe a simple addition - put it in, turn it on, it works kinda thing?
If someone would be so kind as to provide some insight and/or point me to the most simplest and easly accomplished route, I would be very grateful
. Thanks so much!

XAMPP is the easiest way: has the whole environment needed to run php (web-server, db engine, mail server and backend, all ready to run) and is a simple "
extract somewhere and run it" application.
thanks!

Thanks GustavoYz.
I d/l it and it went in simple and easy! The instructions are well laid out also - even a dummy like me couldn't screw it up too bad
Would have liked to use Hiawatha, but at least it's up and running.
Thanks again!
mysql in Exprimo?

I need mysql for a weather-related app.
There's tons of discussion about LAMP, Hiawatha, XAMPP, etc.
I see no reference to usage with Exprimo.
Is there a reason not to use these with Exprimo (5x15 is current)?
This is on an old Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 so resources are limited.

edoc,
don't know if you have Exprimo running on the Pana yet, but other than limitations of the hardware, and not knowing much about all this in general, I would think you should have little to no problems.
XAMPP would probably be your best bet - it is really quite simple. Make a back-up and try it ( as I usually do), and good luck! would be interesting to see how it goes for you.

Yes, Exprimo works fine on two netbooks and four laptops that I manage. It is a solid distro.
I will acquire the latest XAMPP and try it.
It seems contrary to Puppy philosophy to use such a bloated app but I have so many projects on hold here due to a missing Linux-link of one sort or another it would be good to finally find some solutions.
I will give it a try and report back.
Thanks!

I think XAMPP is one of those cases where doesn't matter much if tiny: I'm willing to spend ~300MB in a web-server installation in benefit of time.
Besides, is possible to place the main dir somewhere outside pupsave and link it to /opt.
If space is really a problem, there are ways of get a tinier web server running, but you may find some service/permissions/ownership issues that you will have to fix by yourself, one by one and if want it to be updated, prepare to recompile pretty much all the software involved (just read the previous pages of this topic).

Good points re. space (HDD space is no problem), and linking.
As for linking, would you use Link Relative from /opt to the actual location?
Which files in xampp would need to be so linked?
Thanks!

I remember running a Server Puplet a few years back, when I tried to run an imageboard, it was an interesting experience.
Wish I could find a good ISP that allows web servers in my area, I would love that.

@ GustavoYz
yea, the space thing does not compare to the ease of use with Xampp
@edoc
I simply put xampp in /opt, then the folder for the POS system in htdocs. It all hooked up well with little/no effort...OFF TOPIC....we getting hammered with stormd today edoc, hows the weather there in Ga?
@NeroVance
you can probably find an IP there that allows servers...if you have the right amount of money
also, you can use some of the 'already runing' servers to 'fake' a server at relatively low cost. Try
http://emagez.duoservers.com/ if you need one.
