One question: Do you want PHP to connect to MySQL and PostGreSQL? If the answer is yes, then you definitely need to configure and compile on the box.

Subject: [ale] New server setup



I'm setting up a new server that I plan to host several domains (web and
mail) on. What is the prefered method of install? What I mean is, should
I stick to the rpm's or custom compile all software? Yes, I'm using
RedHat 7.1, (forget the flames, etc.), because the question applies to
any distro I think. Should I use the standard package manager (ie. rpm,
pkg_add, whatever) or compile from source? 


   Software info:
RedHat 7.1
Apache
MySql
PHP
OpenSSL
PostGreSql
Qmail
Courier-imap
