This Tutorial is made by Edmund Sch?pf
First of all I have not contributed in developing or compiling php, msql und perl for PowerPCs.
I searched for this software and found it at gamesquad.nl. As some people in the forum has been looking vor such a software and gamesquad URL is no more reachable, I decided to write this kind of instructions
I've installed and tested apache, php und perl on my Dreambox 7020.
Instructions
You can find a lot of instructions (and better then mine) on the internet, but maybe it could be helpeful for som of you.
I made the installation of the local package without understanding why. I installed apache on another Dreambox without local.tar.gz and it worked.
In order to work comfortabely you should have installed a harddisk on your dreambox.
Installation Apache
- After downloading the required packeges from this site, create a temporary directory (for example /hdd/tmp)
- Create a directory named "opt" and give it the rights 755 an then change to the directory created
Code:
cd /hdd; mkdir opt; chmod 755 opt; cd opt;
- Extract the tar using the gzip command in opt
Code:
gzip -dc /hdd/tmp/httpd.tar.gz |tar xf -
- now you can start apache
Code:
/hdd/opt/httpd/bin/apachectl start
- The standard Port for this installation of apache is 8080 (see file /hdd/opt/httpd/conf/httpd.conf where you can finde a entry like: Listen 8080
- To test now the freshly installed apache, create a html-file (mypage.html) and copy it to /hdd/opt/httpd/htdocs
Code:
<html> <body> This is my html-site on my apache </body> </html>
Code:
http://ip-address-of-my-dreambox:8080/mypage.html
Installation of PHP
- unpack the php-package (we copied it to /hdd/tmp)
Code:
cd /hdd/opt/httpd
Code:
gzip -dc /hdd/tmp/apache_php.tar.gz |tar xf -
- copy file httpd.conf.php on httpd.conf
Code:
cp conf/httpd.conf.php conf/httpd.conf
- Make the following entries to httpd.conf in the LoadModule/AddType Section
Code:
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
Code:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
- restart apache
Code:
/hdd/opt/httpd/bin/apachectl restart
Code:
gzip -dc /hdd/tmp/perl.tar.gz |tar xf -
Code:
gzip -dc /hdd/tmp/mysql.tar.gz |tar xf -
Install instructions for some libs/binaries for dreambox
I recommend to use the 'cut and paste' feature to perform these steps. The are a lot of . (dots) in the commands
Download local.tar.gz and FTP to /hdd/tmp
Unpack tarfile
Code:
mkdir -p /hdd/opt cd /hdd/opt gzip -dc /hdd/tmp/local.tar.gz |tar xf -
Code:
. /hdd/opt/local/env.sh # Don't forget dot and space cd /etc mc
exit mc (F10)
Create a .profile for root. The .profile gets executed during login.
Code:
mkdir /hdd/root echo >/hdd/root/.profile "[ -f /hdd/opt/local/env.sh ] && . /hdd/opt/local/env.sh"
Code:
. /hdd/root/.profile
After performing these instructions, the user root has a .profile. In this .profile a script (/hdd/opt/local/env.sh) is called to set the right environment for all other programs downloaded from my download site. The script /hdd/opt/local/env.sh extends the PATH variable in such a way that all bin and sbin directories found in /hdd/opt/local/* are added.
