Dave,
What you need is php, msql & apache.
You can install all the packages via using yum
First execute
yum install php php-mysql httpd mysqlclient10 mysql-server
yum will resolve all dependences for you and probably will install some
additional packages that you may need.
If you have some packages already installed yum will tell you !
After installation, you will have to start several services:
service httpd start
service mysqld start
to test that your webserver is running you can use your local browser
httpd://localhost
the best way to test php is to put a phpinfo.php file in your webserver
document root usually in /var/www/html/.
Do the following:
vi /var/www/html/phpinfo.php
insert in the first line:
<? phpinfo(); ?>
To test php do the following:
httpd://localhost/phpinfo.php
it will show you your php configuration.
