Open Source Web Book

The souce code for all of the examples from Open Source Web Development with LAMP is available for download (to access this tar file, you need a username/password). To use this tarfile, save it in a convenient location, such as /tmp/oswb.tar.gz and do the following:

    # cd /var
    # mv www www.old
    # mkdir www
    # chown jrl www
    # su - jrl
    $ cd /var/www
    $ tar xzvf /tmp/oswb.tar.gz

The user jrl can be whatever user you want that will be able to modify the files on the website.

Then, add the contents of /var/www/conf/httpd.conf to the bottom of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. You are now ready to restart the server:

    # /etc/init.d/httpd restart

Now, http://localhost/ should be a familiar-looking website. And all the examples from the book will be resident under /var/www.
