====== Installing Cool Stack Apache, MySQL, PHP  ======

Coolstack is Sun's perferred suite of precompiled Apache 2.2.3, MySQL 5, and PHP5 all ready to go in a bundle.  Each package is compiled optimized for performance on each architecture, and is fully tested by Sun.

===== Preflight =====

==== Prerequisites ====

For Coolstack 1.2, you must first install the Coolstack runtime package:

CSKruntime_1.2_x86.pkg 


===== Cool Stack 1.2  =====




===== Cool Stack 1.1  =====

To install on Joyent Accelerators all you have to do is execute a few simple steps.  Download Coolstack from http://cooltools.sunsource.net/coolstack/.

Once you get the package in your Accelerator, decompress it and pkgadd it:

<code>
# bzip2 -d CSKamp_x86.pkg.bz2
# pkgadd -d ./CSKamp_x86.pkg
</code>

By default it installs to /opt/coolstack.  If you go inside this directory you will see directories for each individual package:

<code>
# ls /opt/coolstack
apache2/      etc/          info/         man/          php5/         share/
bin/          include/      lib/          mysql_32bit/  sbin/
</code>

If you go in to each application's directory, it will have a README file.  In this file it will tell you steps for setting up and also the compile options used for Sun Studio.

==== Apache ====

The Apache used is 2.2.3 compiled with prefork.  Apache is all ready to go, all you have to do is start it.

<code>
# /opt/coolstack/apache2/bin/apachectl start
</code>

==== MySQL ====

The MySQL used is version 5.0.33 32-bit.  If you need to work with larger databases (use more than 4gigs of ram), consider the MySQL 64-bit package that the CoolStack webpage provides.

To get MySQL started, you need to first copy over a my.cnf file to use.  my-medium.cnf should work for most Accelerators, check my-small.cnf if you are on a smaller container and want to conserve more memory.

<code>
# cp /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/my.cnf
</code>

Also copy over the mysql.server start and stop script:

<code>
# cp /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/share/mysql/mysql.server /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit
</code>

Create the system tables and give permissions to the directories:

<code>
# /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/bin/mysql_install_db
# chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit
</code>

And start the server:

<code>
# /opt/coolstack/mysql_32bit/bin/mysql.server start
Starting MySQL
 SUCCESS!
</code>

Something to notice here is Coolstack likes to use the data directory instead of var.
