Yellow Dog Linux

Who says you can't do much with YDL on a PS3 ?

I now have a fully operating LAMP ( Linux / Apache / MySQL / PHP ) environment running on my PS3 !

It is now a fantastic development / test box with :

A web server ( Apache )

Web scripting language ( PHP )

Database engine ( MySQL )

7 programming languages ( C / C++ / Fortran / Java / Lua / Perl / Python )

Let's see any other game console match what you can do with YDL on a PS3 !

C'mon, I double-dog dare you !

Taelik,

I'm pretty newbish when it comes to linux, but have also managed to install Apache, MySQL, and PHP on YDL 6.2. I believe they are functioning correctly, MySQL seems to be running:

[root@MyPS3 dan]# mysqladmin version
mysqladmin Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.45, for yellowdog-linux-gnu on powerpc
Copyright (C) 2000-2006 MySQL AB

Server version 5.0.45

UNIX socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Uptime: 36 min 56 sec

Threads: 1 Questions: 2 Slow queries: 0 Opens: 12 Flush tables: 1 Open tables: 6 Queries per second avg: 0.001

although I haven't been able to setup any users yet.

Apache, and PHP are both working as I was able to view a test.php page I created with the < ?php phpinfo() ?>

I will have to do some more testing/configuring to get MySQL playing nicely, but so far I am pretty excited. That myPHPAdmin program you mentioned sounds interesting, I think that's next!

Hiya Dan,

It took me a cpl tries and a little hair pulling but it will work. ( My Firefox had the "work offline" box checked so it took me a while to figure out why pages not loading ! )

Once you get the PHPmyAdmin on its feet, it will make creating your databases / tables a breeze ! < whoosh ! >

Taellik

can you please post a quick installation guide? I'ts not working for me (PS3, Yellow Dog 6.2, Gnome window manager). I get the message:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

I'm not sure if I have installed all packages needed at all. YUM tells me there is no package called apache2 which I thought it should be called. Is the apache server installed by default by the way?

Please help me out.

DerXylakant,

There isn't much of a walk-thru I can give you.

I used the package installer that comes with YDL to install each application. I didn't go to the terminal/console for anything to install.

I am trying to update PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2 on YDL6.1. Has anyone done this before? Please let me know.

Sorry - we don't allow double posts and/or piggybacking on threads on our forums. You've already asked this question, more or less, here:

Therefore, I'm locking this thread to further postings.
