First Blog

It's interesting that with all my energy around Open source deployment, it's still difficult to find people that are able to develop in open source and even more difficult to plumb the stuff together!

PHP5 - Why's it so difficult to get the thing to work?

Having previously downloaded foxserv (www.foxserv.net ), i've run up Apache,php & mysql quite nicely.

Foolishly i've been enticed into downloading php5, looks great the book says it should be easy to install, a few lines to tie it togther, looks like the php5_mod.c fine is missing!! question is does that file belong to php or to apache??

The search goes on. I've decided to only work on this an hour at a time, other wise you'll end up spending an afternoon on it! Watch this space, I will get it working......
