I’d love to grok intricacies of compiling C code and setting
environment variables.. but I am dead once February 15^th rolls around
and may have to find another job soon.
All I’m trying to do is get an OpenBSD 3.6 box with the following
components installed:
MySQL 4.1 (or 5.0.2)
Apache 2
Mcrypt
Mhash
Libmcrypt
PHP
OpenSSL
And that’s it. Nothing fancy, just something that is highly secure and
easy to lock down to 2 ports. I’ve gotten a bunch of shell scripts
written up for each portion of the install.. most of them are
./configure –prefix=/usr/local/(program name) with the configuration
files in the conf directory for each.
I’m currently hung up on Mcrypt. It’s a total monster! It’s a key
component in so many programs and libraries, and yet Googl’ing news
groups, checking out the main site for them, and going through the
config.log files I can’t understand a darn thing anyone is saying.
I’m an intro PHP fella.. I can tie into databases, loop through if
statements, store images, handle usernames and passwords.. but
encryption is something completely alien to me. I’ve done ASP before
and installing the packages may not be as
secure/customizable/reliable/intelligent.. it involved double-clicking
and maybe doing something in DOS like adding a “-v” at the end.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d kindly RTFM and leave the vicious cerebral
types be, but I don’t have that luxury. Surely someone else out there
has experienced something like this before and can bestow a nugget of
wisdom upon me.
