If you don't already have apache and php setup on the machine then you're better off installing both from source. There are plenty of resources out there which takes you through the process. Two in particular are LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP), and Apachetoolbox. As for RPM dependencies, if you're using an official Mandrake RPM then all dependencies can be downloaded from them. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* "I am your density." -- George McFly in "Back to the Future" */
