I've made up a PLAMP - Puppy Linux/Apache/Mysql/PHP squash file that you simply drop in to your /mnt/home directory - run the boot configuration to load LAMP-301.sfs on boot then you are away - apache starts on boot the first time out.

htdocs are under /var/www/htdocs and symlinked from /srv/www/htdocs

copy you website under that directory and you are away.

- you need to run mysql_install_db from a terminal window which is the post install script for mysql to initiate the mysql system and test databases.
Reboot or run /etc/init.d/rc.mysqld start and you are away with mysql. You may also wish to review /etc/my.cnf that contains the standard configuration parameters - if you want to run innodb you will need to uncomment the innodb config parameters.

mysql runs as root - and you should change the mysql root password - by default it is blank - see the mysql docs - I removed them from this sfs but the commented online docs are better in any event.

I am not expert on security and I only use this for development.

Thanks raffy the file is at

ftp://ftp.servage.net/sfs_modules/lamp-301.sfs

username: puppy
password: linux

the file is 25Meg - so not such a puppy but there are other files as big here? I took out everything I could including translations - sorry non-english speakers - I don't think there is any compromise on functionality. The no post mode error crops up if I post the file as a .zip also - so ftp it is!

I have updated this squash file to work with Dingo (puppy 400) - needed some additional libraries and also included phpMyAdmin 2.11.6 - this one runs the mysql_install_db script if the initial databases do not exist on first boot. So mysql will come straight up when you boot after setting this .sfs in your boot up configuration.

The file is 27 Meg at:

ftp://ftp.servage.net/sfs_modules/lamp-400.sfs

Hi growler,

This sounds good for development, but I'm sure there will be people who ignore that restriction. Running Apache as root out on the web sounds like an invitation to exploitation.

We already have user spot to use for didiwiki. Could someone adapt this to run as a restricted user like spot?

Apache runs as user nobody - but as the root group.

I think this is still a risk for use as a live web-server - inside a firewall as an intranet no problem.

It would be good for someone more knowledgable to give this a once over for security purposes.

The new download URL is

In preparation for 4.2 I thought I would configure a squash file to work with hiawatha web-server that Barry intends to bundle with puppy 4.2 by default - having read a little bit about it, it seems that it is quite a solid and fast performer and a fraction of the size of apache, with all the features I need and its emphasis on security! It makes sense to use Hiawatha for my purposes - seems like a another good find of Barry's!

However, I want to use hiawatha with a modified

/etc/hiawatha/httpd.conf

and

/etc/hiawatha/php-fcgi.conf

building the new files into the squash file doesn't work since the files in pup_4xx.sfs are layered over the top of my squash file ones.

Has anyone any idea on how I can get the new files over the top of the old config files in pup_4xx.sfs?

Maybe we are looking at a PET here?

growler, I downloaded lamp-400.sfs to my-documents and clicked on it. It was mounted on /mnt/+root+my-documents+lamp-400.sfs. What should I do next?

Are you using a full install or a frugal install?

growler, its a full installation on hdd.

Meanwhile, if I just access http://localhost, it shows phpinfo() output. How is this possible without apache running? Does puppy comes with default php installation?
