[TriLUG] How to install package(PHP) wrapped in tar ball file?

[Tim Jowers]

gunzip targooky.tar.gz
tar -xvf targooky.tar

mv daphpapp /var/www/html

Dat's about it. Easy stuff. (you might have yo html dir somewhar else)

Then you hit it via the web: http://localhost/daphpapp and normally it loads
up its index.php and vectors to a setup.php or what have you. Might need a
few
chmod +w config
or other permission changes to let it run its course.
Maybe a
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
/etc/init.d/postgresql start
or what have you to fire up dem databasers.

Clear as mud?

Best,
TimJowers
