Can I manage custom builds of Apache and PHP with Server Admin?

Okay, here's the deal: I have a shiny new Xserver Xeon with Leopard Server installed. I see that it comes with a number of programs that I'll need, preinstalled, but for various reasons (extensions and modules for PHP, Apache, and the like), I may need to roll my own builds of several of these programs and libraries. In this case, the main thing I'm concerned with is recompiling Apache and PHP.
My question is, can I do this and still manage those tools from Server Admin? I'm not averse to doing it on the command line if need be, but I'd just as soon not have to, if I have Server Admin. So, what would I need to do to make sure that I can still use Server Admin with a custom PHP and Apache?

My main interest is in using Wiki Server with the custom Apache and PHP builds. Since that's managed through Server Admin, I figured it would be best to try and integrate with the Apple tools.
Apache I could maybe get by without a rebuild, but there are definitely PHP modules I need which the default build does not come with.

About building Apache and PHP from source

Hello,
I figured my question should be posted here, if it should be done somewhere else, I apologize.
I'm in the process of exploring solaris 9 (I have RH5 - 9, FC1-3 and FreeBSD 4.7> experience). I was wondering which tools I need to build stuff from source, like Apache and PHP. I am aware of www.sunfreeware.com, which helped me out with mc and other useful stuff.
The problem I see is that when I install packages from sunfreeware.com, I must rely on the package maintainer to release a new package for newer Apache/PHP versions (with bug/security fixes in it). I plan to run a public webserver on this config, so I figured it'd be best to build what I need from the source so I can update it anytime I like.
What I installed from sunfreeware.com:
autconf
automake
gcc
make
bison
expect
mc
libiconv
ncurses
flex
What else do I need to successfully build software from the source?
Are there any people running a public web/dns/mailserver on Solaris (whatever the version)?
If someone could answer to those questions, I'd be most grateful.

Have you installed the companion CD? All you need is there.
Have you tried to compile?
If so, what errors do you get?

I need to set up an expense form so that our consultant can "filter" by customer type, program type, and finally the purpose of the trip. For instance: the customer types are churches, schools, organizations. The program type would be dependent on the customer type selection from the first list. Some examples would be: fund raising, gift planning, surveys, and others. The purpose of the trip would be dependent on the program type selected from the second list. Some examples of trip purposes would be: presentation, design, prospecting. Further, the purpose of trip selection from the third drop-down box would then have to determine the values of other fields by expense type: such as commission, airfare, hotel. etc. I've tried pop-up menu but can't figure out how to "select" from the final popup list and have it populate a field for the purpose of the trip. I've tried to look at the JavaScript examples for dependent drop-down boxes, but can't find any that quite fit what I'm trying to accomplish. I am very new to all of this. No training in writing Javascripts - just trying to wing it. The form has to be very simple for our consultants to use, but also give our office the detail we need to process through the correct account numbers. I would appreciate any detailed step-by-step instructions - kind of a javascript for dummies type of info. HELP!

An AcroForm is the name given to the type of PDF form that you create in Acrobat. An XFA form is the type of form that you create in LiveCycle Designer. Although they are both PDF files, they are very different structurally and have significant;y different scripting models. So pay attention to the information on AcroForms and ignore anything about XFA. Be sure to get the sample PDF forms so you can look at how it works and where the scripts are placed.
What you want to do will require scripting, and if you don't have the experience and are unable to use the information in the tutorials to create what you want, you might consider getting someone who has experience do this for you. I'll often suggest code if I can do so quickly, but what you want requires more than a few minutes.

You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.

Need Urgent Help with Apache and PHP

I have been struggling with apache and php for a week now and I finally broke down to post a message.
I have apache 1.3 running on my mac mini g4 with 10.4.9 and I installed sql. I went to the entropy website and downloaded php5 to install without knowing I already had php4 on the machine. I installed 5 but could not get it to work. I then went back to httpd.conf and tried to install php4 by uncommenting out the loadmodule and addmodule lines. I restarted apache but php still did not work. I tested the phpinfo.php script but all I got was the script in Safari and not the actual page. At the moment, I have php4 and php5 on my machine but can't get either one to work. I am sure there is an easy fix but I don't know it. Please help.

The problem is not terribly complicated, but Apache will not start with the entropy file in the folder
/etc/httpd/users/
Let me experiment on you. Rename the entropy file and then try to start Apache. To do this, open Terminal and paste this command:
<pre>sudo mv /etc/httpd/users/+entropy.conf /etc/httpd/users/+entropy<pre>
Now check the Apache configuration:
<pre>apachectl configtest<pre>
If it says "Syntax OK", start Apache:
<pre>sudo apachectl start<pre>
Since we only disabled the entropy file, you should be able to enable PHP5 with some more advanced configuring.

Apache and PHP Security Scans

I am now required to keep up with the latest versions of Apache and PHP on my Xserves for security reasons. Is there an easy way to do this?

In order to keep up with security updates you'll have to install your own apache and php and stop using the ones that comes with Mac OS X (i think it is a good idea to do that anyway).
Fortunately there are tools out there that will help you.
I use macports, (http://macports.org) but if you decide to use it you will no longer be able to start, stop and control apache from the Server Admin interface. (there is actually a way to continue to do it but it will break at any system update you run).
If you are comfortable controlling the server with the command line you'll like it very much and at the end feel it is a great improvement over the apache/php that ships with OS X.
There is also Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/) but i have never used it so i can't say if it will work well or not and i'm sure it will also prevent you from using the Server Admin.
Good luck.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

Lrak wrote: "It sounds like I should to that before endeavoring to transfer the manuscript?" (re-link)
It should be much easier to re-link in the Pagemaker file, as, with any luck, you can get the filenames from the Graphics Manager. After conversion to InDesign, any out-of-date linked images get their names converted to something like "image 123.jpg", and are themselves converted to an embedded low res representation of the image. Even vectored art. Pretty hard to figure them out, unless you are VERY familiar with the file, which you may be.
It may be that any cropping gets lost, too? I do prepress work, we do some set up for our customers, but most comes in pretty much ready to go, so I don't often have to did too deep into fixing such issues. On the other hand, any problem that can happen has probably crossed my desk, or it seems that way some days!

How to uninstall default Apache and PHP

I use Lion 10.8.2。Now i want to uninstall default Apache and PHP。But i don't how to do it . Because i want to use nginx and update php to 5.4 or new.
Than you very much.

2. If I want to retrieve information from the database
and display the information in the applet, what should
I do then ?
You would read the response given by the PHP side and parse it. How this is done depends on how PHP returns the data. It should preferrably be plain text or some other simple format, not HTML.
Another problem is, when I tried to send a HTTP request, I get an exception :
access denied ( java.net.SocketPermission "the host name") resolve
What is that and how do I solve the problem ?What applets are allowed to do is severly restricted because they are loaded and started by a web browser when a user visits a web page without consulting the user. You wouldn't like some site delete all files on your hard drive while you're browsing the web. Opening network connections to servers other than where the applet was originally downloaded from is another thing that is not allowed.
There are two ways to solve this: put the php script and the applet on the same server, or sign the applet. Signing an applet means assuring the user that the applet won't do anything bad and that it's ok to allow it to do something that would otherwise be forbidden, here's an example:

Yes, you can sync Notes and Calendar (but not Contacts) via a Yahoo email account. I believe Gmail also supports this. The only wireless Contacts sync I've heard of will be in the upcoming iCloud service.
