help for deploying a PHP web application in a Linux server

alexyxj

Hi Guys, I need to deploy a PHP application in a Linux server, can anyone walk me through the basic steps? Many thanks. Situation: 1) I have a login and pwd(i tried sudo su -, but seems i don't have pwd for that). 2) I need to install PEAR and extensions for my application. 3) I need to configure my application to make it work. Currently I don't know where to start, can anyone show me a roadmap? Thanks

I checked the php info page and found below information: include_path .:/usr/share/pear .:/usr/share/pear am I (or someone else) supposed to install package/extension into that directory?? I checked the directory :/usr/share and found there is no pear subdirectory. please help..thanks..

Then you don't have the necessary rights to install the software. Ask the system administrator to install it for you.

Maybe, but it depends on the Linux distribution you are using. If the software has been installed from sources bypassing the distro's package management then you need to ask your system administrator or scan your machine with find or locate for the related files.
