thanks andyj,

I don't have a x64 machine :(

Looks like I may have to setup a ubuntu server for this project.

64-bit processors came out in 2003. You must be nursing a seriously old box. What processor do you have? It would take me a day to recompile Apache 2.4 and PHP 7.0 and all the supporting parts for 32-bit. The scripts in the 64-bit src directory should work in 32-bit land too. I'm sorry, but I'm not particularly motivated to support a platform I don't use.

Hi remus
I think you can download a self contained LAMP package from Apache. Google  xampp. You can untar and run it from  /opt.

Hi Rich,

I did check out xampp, looks promising, however they only list a download for x64

I guess I could download it and check the readme files just in case.

Hi remus
I know this will sound obvious, but Google  xampp 32 bit linux. You'll get some hits for sourceforge.

Remus,

If you have MicroCore up and running, from the command prompt type in tce-ab and do a search for the LAMP ingredients:

Linux (lol - Micro-Covered!)
Apache2
MySQL, or search for "maria" which it's now called OR try SQLite if it'll suit your needs
PHP

You're still playing in the 7.x repo but if you cannot find something you're looking for, odds are you can find it in 6.x if you had to!

If you have to use MySQL / MariaDB because you have an existing project then I feel sorry for you. If you are starting a new project you should consider PostgreSQL instead. It's much smaller (a third the size on TCL) and much more standard SQL compliant. I have a few decades of Oracle DBA experience, so I think I know how a database should work. I tried MariaDB for a few weeks and quickly learned that was a bad choice. I don't use it for many of the same reasons I don't use Windows. The reason I switched to 64-bit is so that the database server can use more than 4 GB of RAM. Of course if you don't have that much memory then it doesn't matter, but if you ever want to upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit later the data structures are different so it would be a migration effort. Just some things to keep in mind.

Thanks for the input andyj

Considering what you've said I'll look into PostgreSQL.

I'm starting from scratch, I have no previous experience managing an Apache server, or mysql or coding in PHP. I did do some Access DB, ASP, html, css, javascript from 2000 to 2004. So I have some idea of what's involved. I think I have to try and re-learn some old skills, and apply them to a different language and environment.

I've been given the task of creating a clock in/out app for volunteer, and work for the dole participants at our non profit community centre. The app has to record the time and take the persons picture as they clock in and out. The current idea is to run this from a web browser, on a tablet mounted to the wall, and the browser will store activity in a database.

I have no idea how I'm going to do this, but will start out with a simple form and database table and work my way up from there. Adding features along the way as I learn.
Live long and prosper.

This is a pretty good idea.

I'm in a virtualbox with mc6 right now having a look at the software via tce-ab.
