**Instructions currently incomplete, as I work on making sure my environment works.  Please ask questions on the mailing list.**


====== About this Guide ======

The installation instructions worked on a Solaris 10 Sparc server.  They should work for other Solaris flavors and hardware.  Primary sources include the [[http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/samp_setup.jsp|BigAdmin SAMP]] article and the [[http://www.blastwave.org/howto.html|Blastwave How-to-Guide]]. 

This guide will focus on getting Apache, MySQL and PHP5 installed from packages rather than source.    Source compilation will be necessary however for some PHP5 extensions and YAZ.

===== SAMP Installation =====

Perform all steps as root.


==== Prepare Blastwave ====

<code>
#pkgadd -d http://www.blastwave.org/pkg_get.pkg
</code>
  Note: Blastwave cleanly installs everything in /opt/csw.
<code>
#vi /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf
</code>
Uncomment the line: url=http://ibiblio.org/pub/packages/solaris/csw/unstable  (other mirrors are available via the [[http://www.blastwave.org/mirrors.php|Blastwave mirror site]])
<code>
#/opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i wget
</code>
<code>
#vi /etc/default
</code>
change PATH and SUPATH
<code>
PATH=/opt/csw/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
SUPATH=/opt/csw/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
</code>
repeat above step for /etc/default/su
<code>
#source /etc/default/su 
</code>
Confirm these steps worked (and save yourself from vi) 
<code>
#pkg-get -i nano
</code>

==== MySQL Install ====

<code>
#pkg-get -i mysql5 mysql5client mysql5devel mysql5rt
</code>

==== Apache Install ====

<code>
#pkg-get -i apache2
</code>




==== PHP5 Install ====

<code>
#pkg-get -i php5 php5_curl php5_devel php5_ldap php5_mysql php5_xsl ap2_modphp5 php5_pspell php5_mbstring
</code>

Note: php5_pspell is not actually required at this point, but it doesn't hurt to add it in case future developments make use of it.

==== PDO-OCI Install ====

  * Download oracle instant client libraries for solaris from oracle site.  You'll need both the sdk and basic packages.  Uncompress and execute the self extracting file into /usr/lib/instantclient.
  * Download php5 source and uncompress.  You'll need to compile a shared module to then add to your existing install.
<code>
# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-pear --with-ldap --with-xsl --with-pspell --with-pdo-oci=shared,instantclient,/usr/lib/instantclient,10.2.0.3
# make
# make install
</code>

This should create the pdo_oci.so file you need in /usr/local/php/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613.
  * Copy pdo_oci.so and pdo_oci.a to /opt/csw/php5/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/.
  * Edit /opt/csw/php5/lib/php/php.ini and add this line in the extensions section: 
<code>
extension=pdo_oci.so
</code>
