small webserver mysql/php/lighttpd (not yet) available

[costal martignier]

i haven't compiled it with open ssl support, but yes it is capable..

lighttpd is a complete replacement of apache, has plenty of modules, like rewrite, proxy and so on...

please go look @ http://lighttpd.net

and its size is striped down olny ~500KB

just to tell you what is going on...

at the moment i have a ~4MB big usr_webenv.sfs, yes, 4MB
included the ful webserver, full mysql, full php, and a mysql gui/frontend..

i'm really happy with that..

there are some problems, i need to work arround them...
mysql is running as root, this is not a good idea.

the configuration is done at bootup with some lines in rc.local..

keep you informed about the process..

That's really cool - a webserver environment for 4 MB!

Now, as you have mentioned user, does the htppd run as user "nobody" (this seems to be a general practice)?

[costal martignier]

at the moment everything is running as root

im looking forward to find a good solution....

[costal martignier]

ok, now you can't say i'm only talking about creating this stuff
take a look at the picture, it shows firefox (on crustpuppy) with the default site on localhost..
in the terminal you see the size of the whole webenvironment

[raffy]

Great so let's have it! You can provide a link for downloading and both Mu and Babbs will mirror it

Will be useful to test and tweak it until it sizzles

i provide the file when it's finished
i like to go the linux way, and release only things that really works

the user problem must be fixed first, and the autoloading of database and webservercontent from the live cd/usbstick also...

Good news. Barry has a tendency to produce working code Good to see the Swiss are keeping up that tradition
Ian recently posted an SQL database pup that could be run from the command line - so this is a great improvement.

Such a small pup. So many good things

[raffy]

Lamppix uses that approach - autoloading of database at startup. You might want to check it out. http://lamppix.tinowagner.com/

thx, i'm aware of them

i found puppy because i wanted a use lampixx, but it's not really something good, tooo slow, tooooo big...

i allready have a really good idea, and i'm on the way to implement it

I've got Xampp running on another distro, bu this might get me to switch the sever back over to Puppy. Sounds brilliant and the work is really appreciated.

i compiled mysql with the prefix /usr/local

now all libs for mysql are in /usr/local/lib/mysql/*

this is no problem when you have installed the usr_devx.sfs, because the i can run ldconfig from my installscript..
but when i install my package on a livecd, usbstick or hdinstall without ldconfig there is no possibility for me to add these libs to the searchpath becuase ldconfig is not available

can someon tell me what i should do???
i was ready to release a pre-alpha dotpup and then discobered the problem in the last second after testinstall #3283487

when i create symlinks it doesn't work, and i dont want to copy them to /usr/local/lib because they are 2 MB and i don't like redunanzy..

regards and thx for any help

[costal martignier]

for the moment i have a workarround and put the ldconfig binary in the dotpup packe, and cp it to the harddisk when it is not available..

not really a solution, but it works...

apreciate some others ideas

[costal martignier]

i think the only correct way is to add

/usr/local/lib

to

/etc/ld.so.conf

because /usr/local/ is the correct path to add software normaly on linuxsystems..
most package compile and install to /usr/local when no --prefix is given..

please add this to puppy 1.08 and puppy 2.0

so there are not anymore such problem like i have now..

in most cases you can move them from /usr/local/lib to /usr/lib
I create many Dotpups like this.
Mark

[costal martignier]

in this case it doesn't work

and the correct place is /usr/local/lib

ooohhh nooo...
made a big misstake

everything was running fine now, on all my machines, but then i realized that i put the variable files www and db into the "right" folder in /var

i didn't realized that this folder don't get saved, because i'm developing on a harddisk install...

i'm sad now, no i can start from the beginning and must recompile mysql, and change all the scripts the dotpup and the squashfile...

ooooooooh noooooo

besides all problems, here is the first pre-alpha release og webenv.pup

You could create a symlink when your scripts start.
If you put www to /root/www , then you create a symlink like this:

ln -s /root/www /var/www

Mark

[costal martignier]

problem allready fixed...

the webroot is now in /root/www and db are in /root/db.
without symlinking...

thx and regards
