MySQL, PHP

[nathanashton]

Hi All,

 

I'm looking to use my Unraid box to host a shared XBMC library.

 

For this I need MySQL.

 

I'd also like PHP and PHPMyAdmin if at all possible. This way I can write some PHP apps to interface directly with the XBMC library.

 

So.....is it possible to install PHP, MySQl, PHPMyAdmin?

 

Cheers

Yes. It is possible.

Haha thanks....could you possibly point me in the right direction for instructions?

Wiki's User Addon Section includes MySql and Php - http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=UnRAID_Add_Ons

 

unMenu is very useful too. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=5568.0

I took a different approach to this:

 

I set up unRaid to run Vmware server.

 

Now, I can add virtual machines with all of the functionality I need without messing with unRaid config.

 

For example, I have a TurnKey Linux VM that hosts a Joomla dev environment (LAMP) AND a SqueezeBox Server.

 

Nice thing is I can reconfigure that VM as much as I like without worrying about unRaid messing up (or even going offline), or add additional VMs if necessary for other tasks.

 

The downside is that I can't upgrade unRaid without recompiling VMWare into it - a not insubstantial task, especially for a Linux newbie like me
