Building a virgin.

[Grant Peel]

Thanks for the info!

So the 'best' think would be:

MySQL first,

Apache 2nd,

PHP third, then php-extensions?

Also, Since its likely that this server will be replacing a live one, I 
selected php and mysql for to ensure the apps deployed are compatable.

No suprises wanted when the changeover time comes....
