For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
LAMPing the midnight oil

Posted by MatthewCastle (MatthewCastle), 27 June 2008

Stayed up far to late last night due to enthusiam generated by a recent LAMP deployment course.

Now have Fedora9 up and running inside Microsoft Virual PC, dont forget the "nopreserve-paravirt" boot option folks!

Also have Drupal and the Aptana PHP plugin for Eclipse installed, all I have to do now is figure out how to configure debugging!

I also probably have to look at changing the security setup as my normal "accept the defaults luke" has lead to Apache and MySQL running as root!

Hi, Matt ... welcome to the forum.

Whilst there IS danger in running MySQL and the web servers as root (and I strongly teach that they should each be run under their own daemon accounts, with care given to groups too), on a personal installation where you're experimenting / testing / developing on a personal machine ... that's not so critical.    Especially if any network connection you have is firewalled / and / or to a clean intranet.
