| flyinprogramer | so i have a question before i do this switch, i'm currently an apache user, absolutely hate it, was going to switch to lighttpd, how hard is it to get lighttpd, perl, php5 and mysql 5 all working and playing together like happy little children on debian? |
| abrotman | flyinprogramer: and i *love* Geddy's in Bar Harbor |
| flyinprogramer | abrotman: yup |
| styx_tdo | flyinprogramer what's your apache issue? |
| flyinprogramer | well, its just stupid maybe i'm n00b scratch that i am |

| asg | flyinprogramer: lighttpd is supported in debian as is perl, php5 and mysql5. |
| flyinprogramer | but like configuring apache to work with perl on gentoo i've found is really hard |
| asg | flyinprogramer: well, in etch and later. |
| abrotman | flyinprogramer: i thnik you use the php5-cgi with lighttpd |
| flyinprogramer | ok |
| abrotman | which would get your mysql support dunno about perl with lightttpd |
| flyinprogramer | excellent |
| wols | flyinprogramer: hared than apache |
| abrotman | but i suspect it's roughly the same |
| action | abrotman takes wols' beer |
| abrotman | takes wols' beer |
| flyinprogramer | wols: what? |
| styx_tdo | flyinprogramer :) it's way easier in debian - just apt-get modapache2-<modulename> and you're nearly done. no recompilation of all of apache if u need a feature |
| flyinprogramer | nice |
| wols | flyinprogramer: to get lighthttpd is harder |
| flyinprogramer | now do i then have to configure the httpd.conf to look for the perl stuff? or does it do that all magically ? |
| abrotman | styx_tdo: you mean libapache2-<module name> ? |
| action | joakim remains victorious! |
| joakim | remains victorious! |
| styx_tdo | abrotman yep |
| flyinprogramer | wow you guys are great |
| styx_tdo | flyinprogramer nope, most of it is done in specific files... |
| XMR2F77 | i dont have a newer ATI card but would like to install tried (!ati) in bots |
| flyinprogramer | i think i've totally found my new distro, and i'm quite satisfied |
| DawnLight | flyinprogramer: i've got apache2 set up in debian with php5 and mysql in no time and i don't know anything about nothing |
| abrotman | XMR2F77: what model is it ? |
| styx_tdo | flyinprogramer ech mod puts a file in /etc/apache2/modes-enabled that does the init, the vhosts are in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled and so on |

| wols | flyinprogramer: if you mean mod_perl: apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2 and you're done |
