Porting website from XP

[fneergaard]

I have developed a site on windows xp and now I'm trying to port the solution to Kubuntu 7.10. Both Kubuntu and Linux are almost new to me and I have a number of questions.

On windows I use php 5.0.4, phpadmin, apache 1.3.3, htaccess and mysql 4.1.12a-nt-log. Guess I use the the build in adept_manager to install the modules, but I cannot see which ones to pick! There is a lot of them...

When packages are installed I also need to know what to add/change in .ini files etc.

Thanks in advance.

Why don't you install a LAMP stack from the command line using the newest software and see if your site will run.

 
sudo apt-get install apache2 mysql-server php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-mysql phpmyadmin

Then you will need to move your web files to /var/www/yoursite/ and import your database.

I couldn't find a LAMP working and I have now used the adept_manager and installed the following:

php5
phpmyadmin
apache2
mysql5


Will it cause problem that I have installed apache 2 instead of apache 1.3.3 and mysql 5 instead of 4?

Now I need to configure ini files and more! How do I do that?

Is it correct that I put my site(s) in /var/www/site1 and /var/www/site2?

The configuration files are mostly in /etc/ folder (Apache, ...)

Don't know about mysql though. It might need another tool

Re: Porting website from XP

sooner than putting your sites in /var/www/site1 and /var/www/site2? copy "userdir.conf" and "userdir.load" from "/etc/apache2/mods-available/" to "/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/" you can then put your site in your "public-html" folder and use "http://localhost/~yourhomedirectoryname/site1" in your browser to see it. This is less of a security risk.
Using Apache2 and MySql5 should not make any difference since I have found them to be backwards compatible with my sites.
