How-To: AMP server for Freebsd

[fridder]

Hello all,
I found this great link on how to set-up apache, mysql and php for Freebsd and wanted to share it: http://caffetine.org/freebsd-amp.php

If anyone has any other advice, that would be awesome

That's a nice, succinct, article - I think it'll help to get some folks started.

The only thing I do that really deviates is I compile apache manually:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-connect --enable-rewrite --enable-deflate --enable-proxy-http --enable-ssl --with-ssl=/usr --enable-vhost-alias --enable-php --enable-so --enable-suexec --with-suexec-caller=nobody --with-suexec-docroot=/home --with-suexec-logfile=/usr/local/apache/logs/cgi.log --with-suexec-uidmin=1000 --with-suexec-gidmin=1000

There are many guides (http://www.bsdguides.org/guides/freebsd/security/harden.php) to harden FreeBSD that are good ideas to check out as well.
