== Introduction and Purpose ==
'''NOTE: Do this assignment inside the centos3 virtual machine. '''
== Installing Packages using Yum ==
<u>Install these packages using ''yum'':</u>
* '''httpd''' - this is the Apache web server software.
* '''php''' - this is the PHP server software, which allows Apache to run more complex websites.
* '''php-mysql''' - this is a PHP extension that allows PHP to use a MySQL server.
<u>Install the '''mysql-server''' (MySQL database server) package</u>
'''NOTE:''' This package may not be in the main repository. There a couple of options:
:*'''Preferred method:''' Use an alternative package (for example: '''mariadb''' and '''mariadb-server''')
:*Download a "zipped tar-ball" from a website (google-search), decompress, and compile
== Configuring Apache ==
# Start the httpd service using the '''servicesystemctl''' command.
# Ensure that the httpd service starts automatically during boot.
# Confirm that you can connect to your web server using a web browser -- both from centos3 (you can test using '''links''') as well as from the host. You should see the Apache Test Page.
== Configuring MySQL ==
# Start the MySQL service (mysqldor mariadb) using the '''servicesystemctl''' command.# Do not ignore Ensure that the mysqld/mariadb service starts automatically during boot.# You may get messages that are printed after starting the MySQL service for the first time you start the service. Do not ignore these messages, it will print a message telling tell you how to set a password and take other basic steps to secure the the MySQL server. Follow those instructions to set a password, recording the detail of what you do for later use.# Ensure that * If you do not see any messages, research how you can secure the MySQL installation and set the mysqld service starts automatically during bootMySQL-root password.
#* Read those messages carefully, you are setting up a production MySQL server and there shouldn't be any "test" databases or anonymous users or users without a password.
# Set your MySQL root password to your learn ID (without the @senecac.on.ca part).
