Re^2: WebApp Installation Preparation

[perldragon80]

Yeah, on most linux distros that I work with, I use apt or yum or rpm, or some other package management program...but in this case there will potentially (most likely) be no externel network access so none of those update programs would work.

I think in my case using PAR will definitely help with the perl dependencies. I think most of the Linux boxes I will be installing on will be redhat or fedora, which usually come with Apache,MySql and Perl but it would probably be best (as advised before) if I install in another set of directories.

Hi,

One thing is doing an network update, and another is creating a Cd which contain all the updates necessary... and that's what I mean, you create/compile a Cd with all the necessary updates, for example a Cd with .deb packages and some tar.gz and then you take it to the non-ext-net-node and make a local update of the packages... ;-)

And you know the packages you need because doing something like apt-get showpkg X you can see the dependencies this package has.

Get an idea of what I mean?

Regards,

;-)
