[root@vps ~]# groupadd mysql
[root@vps ~]# useradd -r -g mysql mysql
[root@vps ~]# cd /usr/local/src/
[root@vps src]# wget http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.5/mysql-5.5.0-m2.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# tar -xzf mysql-5.5.0-m2.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# cd mysql-5.5.0-m2

[root@vps mysql-5.5.0-m2]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data --disable-maintainer-mode --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-unix-socket-path=/tmp/mysql.sock --without-comment --without-debug --without-bench

[root@vps mysql-5.5.0-m2]# make && make install

[root@vps mysql-5.5.0-m2]# ./scripts/mysql_install_db

[root@vps mysql-5.5.0-m2]# chown -R root:mysql /usr/local/mysql
[root@vps mysql-5.5.0-m2]# chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/data
-To set the proper ownership for the MySQL directories and data files, so that only MySQL (and root) can do anything with them.

***Default options are read from the following files in the given order:
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf /usr/local/mysql/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
[root@vps mysql-5.5.0-m2]# cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
[root@vps mysql-5.5.0-m2]# chown root:sys /etc/my.cnf
[root@vps mysql-5.5.0-m2]# chmod 644 /etc/my.cnf
[root@vps ~]# cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
[root@vps ~]# for file in *; do ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/$file /usr/bin/$file; done
-To set up symlinks for all the MySQL binaries, so they can be run from anyplace without having to include/specify long paths.
Create Startup service for mysql
[root@vps ~]# echo "/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
***Do not issue the above command more than once.

[root@vps ~]# ldconfig
[root@vps ~]# cp ./support-files/mysql.server /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql
[root@vps ~]# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql
[root@vps ~]# chkconfig mysql on

You can now start/stop mysql using the following commands.

[root@vps ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start
[root@vps ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql stop
***If you are encounter any problems in start and stop mysql, you can find the reason from the error log of mysql. Error log name is in the <hostname>.err format.
Here my server hostname is vps.arun.com and therefore the error log name og mysql is vps.arun.com.err . You can use find the error log in the var directory of mysql installation. Here in my case it is /usr/local/mysql/var/vps.arun.com.err.
You can set new mysql root password using the followiing command.
[root@vps ~]# mysqladmin -u root password <newpassword>

Notes:-

Error:
Configure: error: No curses termcap library found
Fix:
[root@vps mysql]# yum install ncurses-devel -y
Error:
Error in /usr/local/mysql/var/vps.arun.com.err
/usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: File './mysql-bin.index' not found (Errcode: 13)
fix:
Change the ownership of var directory in mysql's installation directory, as like follows.
chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql/var

Complile and install Apache

Complile and install Apache
Here i am explaining the steps to setup a LAMP server. I am hre using CentOS 5.8 64 bit to setup LAMP. There will be similar variations in other OS in LINUX. I think this will work in most of the CentOS versions.

Apache

Preliminary Checking Installations for Apache

In most of the CentOS installations httpd may be installed by default. It is better to remove those installation at first.

[root@vps ~]# rpm -q httpd
httpd-2.2.3-65.el5.centos

The following command will uninstall httpd-2.2.3-65.el5.centos rpm package.

[root@vps ~]# rpm -e httpd-2.2.3-65.el5.centos
It is needed to install the necessary compilers to use the make command. The following comand will help you to install the necessary packages.
[root@vps ~]# yum install gcc gcc-c++ -y
It is needed to Install APR and APR-UTIL packages to install Apache.

Install APR

[root@vps ~]# cd /usr/local/src
[root@vps src]# wget http://apache.techartifact.com/mirror//apr/apr-1.4.6.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# tar -xzf apr-1.4.6.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# cd apr-1.4.6
[root@vps apr-1.4.6]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr
[root@vps apr-1.4.6]# make
[root@vps apr-1.4.6]# make install
Install APR-UTIL

[root@vps ~]# cd /usr/local/src
[root@vps src]# wget http://apache.techartifact.com/mirror//apr/apr-util-1.5.2.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# tar -xzf apr-util-1.5.2.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# cd apr-util-1.5.2
[root@vps apr-util-1.5.2]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr-util --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config
[root@vps apr-util-1.5.2]# make
[root@vps apr-util-1.5.2]# make install

Compile and Install Apache 2.2.x

[root@vps ~]# cd /usr/local/src
[root@vps src]# wget http://apache.techartifact.com/mirror//httpd/httpd-2.2.24.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# tar -xzf httpd-2.2.24.tar.gz
[root@vps src]# cd httpd-2.2.24

[root@vps httpd-2.2.24]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util/bin/apu-1-config --enable-ssl=/usr/include/openssl --enable-rewrite --enable-deflate --enable-suexec

*** You can check the option available for the configuration using the following command. As per your need, you can add new modules.

[root@vps httpd-2.2.24]# ./configure --help

[root@vps httpd-2.2.24]# make
[root@vps httpd-2.2.24]# make install

The following command will enable you to use use httpd command instead of giving full path of apachectl.

[root@vps httpd-2.2.24]# ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /usr/bin/httpd
Once you have done the above configuration and the creating the symbolic link, You can check the settings of Apache using the following commands.
[root@vps ~]# httpd -M
[root@vps ~]# httpd -V

Compile and Install Apache 2.4.4

***I have noted that in Apache 2.4.x, suphp-0.7.1 cannot compile with any of the php version. There no development in suphp after 2009-03-14. So i personally do not recommend Apache 2.4.x at this time.
***Also I have noted that there are some issues in Apache 2.4.x with PHP5.2.x. So think before using Apache 2.4.x in your server.

[root@vps ~]# cd /usr/local/src
[root@vps src]# wget http://apache.techartifact.com/mirror//httpd/httpd-2.4.4.tar.bz2
[root@vps src]# tar -xjf httpd-2.4.4.tar.bz2
[root@vps src]# cd httpd-2.4.4

[root@vps httpd-2.4.4]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-load-all-modules --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util/bin/apu-1-config --with-pcre=/usr/local/pcre/bin/pcre-config

[root@vps httpd-2.4.4]# make
[root@vps httpd-2.4.4]# make install

The following command will enable you to use use httpd command instead of giving full path of apachectl.

[root@vps httpd-2.2.24]# ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /usr/bin/httpd
Once you have done the above configuration and the creating the symbolic link, You can check the settings of Apache using the following commands.
[root@vps ~]# httpd -M
[root@vps ~]# httpd -V
Notes:-

It is needed to install pcre to install apache2.4.x. Locate if the 'pcre-config' is in your system. If it is not available, you will encounter the following error while the installation of Apache.

Error:
configure: error: pcre-config for libpcre not found. PCRE is required and available from http://pcre.org/

Fix:

Create A startup Script for httpd
Create a file /etc/init.d/httpd with the following contents in it. You have to give the pid file location, httpd and apachectl correctly in the script to run the script.
Here in my case, these are the settings.

[root@vps ~]# locate httpd.pid
/var/run/httpd.pid

yum install ncurses-devel

6.Download the latest FFMPEG and Mplayer from the subversion

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer

7.Compile LAME

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/lame-3.97
./configure
make
make install

8.Compile libOGG

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/libogg-1.1.3
./configure
make
make install

9.Compile libVorbis

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/libvorbis-1.1.2
./configure
make
make install

10.Compile flvtool2

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/flvtool2_1.0.5_rc6
ruby setup.rb config
ruby setup.rb setup
ruby setup.rb install

11.Compile MPlayer

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/mplayer

./configure --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libogg --enable-libvorbis --disable-mmx
--enable-shared
echo '#define HAVE_LRINTF 1' >> config.h
make
make install

13.Create symblinks

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavformat.so.50 /usr/lib/libavformat.so.50
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavcodec.so.51 /usr/lib/libavcodec.so.51
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libavutil.so.49 /usr/lib/libavutil.so.49
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0

14.Compile FFMPEG-PHP

cd /usr/local/src/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-php-0.5.0
phpize
./configure
make
make install

15.Install FFMPEG-PHP (make sure the php.ini path is correct.)

Get correct php.ini path add the extesion ffmpeg.so Usually it is given as extension=ffmpeg.so and the extension_dir=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/

Make sure that the ffmpeg.so is in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/

echo 'extension=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20020429/ffmpeg.so'>>
/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini

Or the best way is to check the path for extension_dir in php.ini Then locate the file ffmpeg.so. Copy the file ffmpeg.so to extension_dir and add the line

extension=ffmpeg.so

in php.ini

16.Restart Apache to load FFMPEG-PHP

service httpd restart

17.Verify the installation

php -r 'phpinfo();' | grep ffmpeg

If you get a few lines such as

ffmpeg
ffmpeg support (ffmpeg-php) => enabled
ffmpeg-php version => 0.5.0
ffmpeg.allow_persistent => 0 => 0

Then everything is installed and working. FFMPEG, FFMPEG-PHP, MPlayer, MEncoder, flv2tool, LAME MP3 encoder & libOGG.
