install programs not shown in package manager?

#1 Post by crankypuss »

I'd like to install PHP plus a couple extensions, and APACHE. I don't see anything even close in the installer's listings. Am I out of luck, are there other ways to do this, or what is the situation?

(Note that I'm not looking to set up a web-server, and eventually expect to replace apache with a customized browser that will run php without apache. Basically I'm building a complete user interface based on php/html within a customized browser, starting by using ncurses to develop the code.)

Run package manager.

Click configure package manager.

Choose the ubuntu repositories. (if lucid)

Click update now.

After Update close and restart package manager.

Maybe then you will find what is needed?

I hope so...

Thanks trapster, that's real close... I don't want anything to do with mySQL or with phpAdmin or whatever its name is, and I do want the ncurses and gd modules. It looks like I'll probably be able to cookbook it from what's in that post... I hope. <g>

I am *very* pleasantly surprised to see how active the Puppy forums are, it's looking very "not-dead" here!
