I got a 12-hour invoice from a consultant who was tasked to do the following:

- Install a Red Hat machine from absolute scratch for PHP/MySQL/Apache

- Copy over some MySQL databases

- Have mod_rewrite working via htaccess, and have wildcard DNS

I realize there are a billion different variables - I don't know specifically what distribution he used, or any other variables - but what are the chances that his invoice is reasonable? Assume that he should know what he's doing without having to learn anything. Thanks...


Sounds about right. I just set up a box Tuesday....took me about 9 hours. Installed RHEL 3.0 AS, Apache 1.3.x, PHP 4.4.0, mod_perl, MySQL 4.0.x, CVS, etc. from scratch. Wednesday I took about 4 hours tweaking and locking down the box before I put it on the network.
