Installation
In this chapter, we
will
go through the process of installing and running Mambo. To
install
Mambo, we must have the dream
te
am mentioned in Chapter 1 installed as thedevelopment environm
ent:
Apache, MySQL, and PHP.Mambo does not m
a
ke any special demands on Apache or MySQL. PHP has to be of version4.1.2 or higher and
it
should be comp
iled
with support for MySQL and
Zli
b. Zlibis
a
library
that
m
a
kes
it
possible for PHP to read
file
packages
that
are compressed withthe ZIP procedure.We can use
a
ny web server
that
works with PHP (

). From version 4.5.3 of Mambo,
it will
be possible to use databases otherthan MySQL. The installation has to be done on
a
server
that
can be
acce
ssed over theInternet, usually located
at
the Internet provider.Before we venture into the wilderness of the Internet, we should firs
t practice
on our
local
computer. This is an advantage as there are no connection fees,
it
is very fast, and we can
practice at a le
isurely pace. We can even have
a
sm
all local
network

e
r
e
wecan
install
Mambo on one computer and
acce
ss
it
from another.All the necessary downloads discussed in this book

. A
list
of 
file
packages can be found in theAppendix. These files are suitable for
local

n, since the examples in this book can be reconstructed
that
way.Remember, however, there are more current versions on the respective project sites on theInternet. If you
i

stall
Mambo
in the wild 
, on
a

rver on the Internet, you should alwaysuse the
latest
stable version.
