ncb Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Hey I'm trying to use Software Manager to install PHP, Apache, and MySQL. I installed these initially when I just recently reinstalled Mandrake 8.1... I deleted them to start fresh or something in my newbie mind and I was trying to reinstall them from the cds yet it ask me for disc 2: the installation cd and I insert it and it just opens the drive again and asks for disc 2. I know disc 2 can be read still and isn't actually physically messed up because I just used it a cuople days ago to do the install. It just acts like it can't mount it and read it or something thats what i'm presuming. I can't access the cd itself anyways. If I right click and do mount I get an error. I don't know how to really mount via the console. But I have this php book that I just bought that is like Sams Php, MySql, and Apache in one or something like that and it has a cd. Well it in the appendix 'installing things off the cd' or something of that sort had a command which looked like this: Mount /dev/cdrom /mnt -t iso9660 this command makes it totally accessible. I'm wondering how I would apply that same command to the disc 2 installation cd. Because I'm thinking its just not mounting it because their is some issue with that in 8.1. If I recall when I bought 8.1 and first started using the forums, it was an issue at that time on mandrakeuser.org. I'm just looking for help, I need to be able to use the cds to get these packages because I removed them using software manager to do a clean install of them for whatever dumb reason I was thinking of. I tried to go online and find an rpm for MySQL but I couldn't find one maybe I didn't look worth a crap. I play a lot of guitar and am in college and busy with other things so this is like a side personal hobby for me the whole linux thing so I don't put enough effort into it for sure, but I want to get all these programs working together so I can teach myself php. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncb Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Scratch this post, I got Software Manager to finally read the cds. I don't know what the problem is, I know its something wrong with 8.1 and the mounting of the cds but oh well it works now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
