KB > Software Versions

[justG]

I'm trying to set up a dev environment at home. While the temptation is strong to install the latest and greatest versions of all the software I need, I think it would be more productive to replicate HG's environment as well as I can. I eschewed popular servers-in-a-box solutions (Uniform Server, XAMPP, WAMP, Mambo Starter Kit, etc.) in favour of installing individual components by myself (even though I've gotten migraines as a result and experienced failed attempts in the past) so that I could learn how to configure things properly (it. will. work. GRR).

In accomplishing this, the Software Versions section of the knowledgebase has been most helpful. My suggestion: Add Apache to that list of essential components (PHP, MySQL, etc.) (BTW, legacy stable version 1.3.34 has been released, I believe HG's running 1.3.33. There are some security and bug fixes in the latest revision.)

Thanks for reading.

[Edit] Also, please keep this area updated. The KB states that you are using v4.0.20-standard of MySQL. When trying to download this version from mysql.com, I saw 4 .20 releases, a-d. Not knowing which one you use, I logged in to WHM and checked the server status, hoping to find the exact info there. Turns out, you're using 4.0.25 now. I wouldn't have known this had I relied solely on the knowledgebase.

I'm not a reseller so I don't have WHM, but my Cpanel shows the MySQL version as 4.1.13 as does PHPmyadmin. Are there different versions running on different servers, or is WHM just reporting incorrectly? I'd suggest you check Cpanel and PHPmyadmin incase of the latter.

My CPanel reports the same version as WHM, so it would appear that there are different versions running.
