New To Linux

Failed to update, Going to retry

Ok, so it has been too good to be true so far, Something wrong just had to happen...

The main reason why i need a Linux Box Installed (besides learning and getting something free) was to setup a LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PhP), so my installation of readhat 9 included PHP 4.2.2, MySQL, And Apache 4

Now what i had to do is Upgrade the installs, I needed PHP 4.3.6, MySQL 4.0.x and Apache 2.0.49...

So, i decided to start with Updating MySQL and it all went marvoulosly fine ( Since this is a sucess i will post it alone and link to it here

Maybe i should also mention that i did a couple of stupid things while installing MySQL that resulted in errors like "can't connect to local server through socket /temp/mysql.sock" and other things, I fixed those, Understood why they happened and posted the right way to upgrade or update mysql, And then after Reinstalling RedHat 9, I used my own step by step guide to updating MySQL and it works flawlessly

Then the apache install also went fine, But something had to go wrong (HINT: PHP wouldnt work with apache :( !

I already overcome my problems, so if you want to get right to the issue (how to install PHP and APACHE over the version that comes with redhat 9 click here)

And since i am doing this for learning reasons, i need to know what went wrong, what was the right way to do it and how to fix it, I will mention what went wrong here in detail and how i fixed it, Then i FORMATED the computer, Clean installed RedHat Linux 9 and did it again, Let me show you a bit about the details...
