Solaris AMP on x86 intel - Coolstack how to make it work?

Hi Everybody,

I am so new on Solaris (UNIX) in fact i don't even know basic commands. But i am trying to read all manuals and install. Now im stuck at AMP.

I installed on my Intel x64 pentium 4 box running Solaris 10 (downloaded yesterday so not sure what build or how to check build but it says Solaris10 Generic_118855_33) or something like that.

I downloaded Coolstack CSKamp_x86 and ran 2 commands listed on this forum:

bunzip2 CSKamp_x86.pkg.bz2 and then

pkgadd -d CSKamp_x86.pkg

Now, i have a directory /opt/coolstack with all these files of Apache2, php and Mysql. So there i am. I can't figure out from this point what to do next.

On same forum under these 2 commands it says "please translate your package into filesystem format and then install it as follows : pkgtrans /var/tmp pkgadd -d /var/tmp"

I don't understand what it means.. and what commands i have to run? I use UFS.

What's the command for ufs and for my files which are under /opt/coolstack

Can anyone help me, what shall i run to make all 3 (apache2, php and mysql) start?

Thanks to all in advance,

Manny

I feel for u. I have been working with solaris for years but I can tell you that nobody will explain (in detail) what you need to know to get solaris and related packages up and running. It just seems as if u haven't been doing this for 20 years then they don't want to explain the details just so you have to suffer. The only advice I can offer is to google everything you can!

Looks like you've successfully installed the AMP package - that's great.

If you're new to Unix, you should probably first get some basic Unix training - it's beyond the scope of this forum to provide that. You should be able to find a basic tutorial by googling for it.

Once you are comfortable with running commands, navigating directories and editing files, then you can embark upon starting the servers.

Please read the apache and Mysql documentation on their respective websites to figure out how to start these servers. We include rudimentary documentation for starting MySQL in the README that comes with the CSKmysql package (this is 64bits).

Also read the README files in the apache and php directories.

Good luck

Shanti
