Sun Tech Days Demo Transcripts

Earlier I mentioned I'd post the transcripts from the three demos I gave at both the Mexico City and Manila Sun Tech Days. Each demo was just under 5 minutes. Here's the transcript of the commands I ran, taken from my recording (I added only brief commentary in the text, enclosed in square brackets):

Installing Apache and PHP on OpenSolaris

[check that apache2 is not yet installed, then install it]

% cd /etc/apache2
% pfexec pkg install SUNWapch22
% cd /etc/apache2
% cd 2.2
% ls

[bug in pkg, it does not import the smf manifest, so do it manually
and then enable apache]

% ls /var/svc/manifest/network/http-apache22.xml
% pfexec svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/http-apache22.xml
% svcadm enable apache22

[run firefox: load http://localhost to show Apache is working]

[check that php5 is not yet installed, then install it]

% cd /etc/php5
% pfexec pkg install SUNWphp524 SUNWphp524man
% cd /etc/php5
% ls
% cd 5.2.4
% ls -la

[let's look at apache docs dir and create a simple php script in there]

% cd /var/apache2
% ls
% cd 2.2
% ls -la
% cd htdocs
% ls -la
% su
# cat > test.php
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
^D

[go to firefox: load http://localhost/test.php
doesn't work, shows source, because apache2-php5 connector not yet installed;
so install the connector package and show that it also installs its config]

# pkg install SUNWapch22m-php5
# cd /etc/apache2/2.2/conf.d
# ls
# more php5.conf
# svcadm restart apache22

[go to firefox, reload page, now it worked!]

Web Stack Project Repository

[show currently known (default) authority; add webstack repository and show it]

# pkg authority
# pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/webstack webstack
# pkg authority

[refresh package list and check what's available from webstack]

# pkg refresh
# pkg list -a | grep webstack

[let's install and take a quick look at two packages (varnish and lighttpd)

# pkg install SUNWvarnish
# cd /usr/varnish
# more README

# pkg install SUNWlighttpd14r SUNWlighttpd14u
# cd /usr/lighttpd
# cd 1.4
# ls -la
# ls -la sbin

Install and Configure Wordpress

Thanks to Sriram

[check that neither apache nor mysql is yet installed, then install them]

# cd /usr/apache2
# cd /usr/mysql
# pkg insall amp-dev

[bug in pkg, it does not import the smf manifests, so do both manually
and then enable them]

# svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/database/mysql.xml
# svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/network/http-apache22.xml
# svcadm enable apache22
# svcadm enable database/mysql:version_50

[create database for wordpress in mysql]

# /usr/mysql/bin/mysql -u root
mysql> create database wordpress;
mysql> grant all privileges on wordpress.* to wp@localhost identified by 'wp';
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> quit;

[retrieve the latest wordpress code, install and configure it]

# cd /tmp
# wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip
# cd /var/apache2/2.2/htdocs/
# unzip /tmp/latest.zip
# cd wordpress
# cp wp-config-sample.php wp-config.php
# vi wp-config.php
   DB_NAME = wordpress
   DB_USER= wp
   DB_PASSWORD = wp

[go run firefox; http://localhost/wordpress]
