Compiling Apache, MySQL, ModPerl Source

REFERENCE MATERIAL FOR COMPILING APACHE, MYSQL, MODPERL SOURCE CODE
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
STEP 1:
Download Apache 2.x
http://httpd.apache.org/

shell> ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-so \
--enable-rewrite --enable-speling \
--enable-modules=all --enable-mods-shared=all
shell> make && make install
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
STEP 2:
Download MySQL (4.x + 5.x) - You can safely skip the runtime of mysql if mysqld server is not running on the same machine. . . all you need is the source files.
http://www.mysql.com/

shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> gunzip <mysql> cd mysql-VERSION
shell> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
shell> make
shell> make install
shell> cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
shell> cd /usr/local/mysql
shell> bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
shell> chown -R root .
shell> chown -R mysql var
shell> chgrp -R mysql .
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

You may have to link the following files to path or edit your environment variables:
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config /usr/bin/mysql_config
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql /usr/bin/mysql

Adding a root access account:
Where ‘alan’ is the username and ‘power’ is the password.
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'username'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
