Creating an oBAMP Stack: OpenBSD, Apache, MySQL, and PHP

“This article describes how to add PHP language and MySQL
database functionality to OpenBSD. It outlines one method of
configuring OpenBSD 4.4 (the latest version at the time of writing)
to work with Apache 1.3.29, PHP 5.2.6, and MySQL 5.0.51a, creating
an “oBAMP” stack, OpenBSD running the “AMP” portion of the
better-known Linux LAMP stack. You can use similar configuration on
other architectures as well, although they won’t be identical to
the procedures outlined here…

“After you have bought, borrowed, or downloaded a copy of
OpenBSD OpenBSD 4.4, you are ready to configure OpenBSD as an
Apache-powered PHP and MySQL web and database server. The
configuration process of OpenBSD 4.4 is easier than for any prior
release. However, for maximum control of your OpenBSD system, you
will need to become familiar with the OpenBSD manual pages. If you
find any conflicts between the information provided here and the
information in the OpenBSD-provided manual pages, defer to the
official manual pages. Posting questions to any OpenBSD forum can
also be helpful, but search the manual pages for an answer before
doing so.”
