Which to install first.

I need to get a web server up on FreeBSD and am just wondering what the
recommend order of install should be. Should I
A) Install PHP, MySQL, OpenSSL, then Apache or
B) Install Apache, PHP, MySQL, OpenSSL
or
C) some other order

Thanks

I believe the following will give the best results (eliminating
sequential dependency problems):

1. Apache
2. OpenSSL
3. MySql
4. Php

use ports, and install this order :
A) Default flavor : apache 1.3, mod_php4, mysql 3.23
0) OpenSSL (not compulsory, you can use the system one)
1) mod_php4 (it will install the dependancies : Apache/MySQL/...)

B) more suitable if you want non-default release :
0) OpenSSL (not compulsory, you can use the system one)
1) Apache : choose your flavor (1.3, 2, +ssl, ...)
2) MySQL : choose your flavor (3.23, 4.0, 4.1devel)
3) mod_php : flavor 4, 5 (3 is not a good option)

Installing from source? If you know how to untar, configure and build
the package, this is the most flexible way to go.

C) OpenSSL, MySQL, Apache, PHP is the route I will take. OpenSSL
libraries hold the crypto functions that MySQL Connectors/Apache SSL need.
