Summary

We have quickly scooted through the installation and configuration of web servers, the MySQL database server, and PHP5 language engine in this appendix. Although this will help us get up and running quickly with our book and let us play with scripts quickly, it is rarely a good idea to take web applications live without spending much more time learning about the various configuration options and spending the time fiddling with them.

There are a number of security documents written for each of the servers, and those, combined with the advice in this book and an evening or two of playing, should be enough to provide all the information you need to fully prepare the software for your exact needs.
