Lampp Stack

[kbrill]

Is there a Lampp stack out there that already has the new bits and peices that SugarCRM 4.5 needs? I am using xampp currently and it works but lacks curl and the new json stuff.

Ken, you can stay with XAMPP (I use it too). curl is already available, you just need to uncomment the appropriate line.

Geourge_bbch wrote a thread about where to get the JSON DLL and how to integrate it, one additional line in your php.ini file.

That thread is good for those saddled with windows but I can't get it to compile on my Linux boxes. Not really my area of expertize. Also, what file would you modify to get curl to work? I can't find in anywhere in the distribution (The linux distro that is)

Curl is already compiled in to the XAMPP distribution, it just needs to be uncommented in the php.ini file

I have added some enhanced caching to 4.5 that will help decrease the need for the JSON module. It is incredibly efficient with a caching PHP accelerator (I am planning on supporting Zend Platform and eAccelerator in the 4.5 release).

For enabling cURL, look for curl (case insenstive) in your php.ini file. There will hopefully be a line for it that you can just uncomment.

I was looking into php accelerators and I installed Zend Optimizer on one linux server and eaccellerator on another. Both machines are idenitcal. To my surprise the Zend product had a more visible result. That machine 'seemed' much snappier than the eaccerator machine. This is a little puzzling considering what each product is doing behind the scenes, and I did not write any fancy timers or anything. Considering how easy zend was to install I would consider recommending it to my customers.

(I am planning on supporting Zend Platform and eAccelerator in the 4.5 release).

what would be needed to 'support' either of these. Would the Zend Optimizer also be 'supported'?

It looks like XAMPP has curl support for windows but not linux.

Still looking for that perfect (or at least alternate) Lamp stack.....

We use both XAMPP for Windows and for Linux, version 1.51. In the Windows version we had to uncomment a line, in the Linux version iiis bulit in by default

I can only fiind one line in the ini file that references curl and its for the windows DLL file,

OK, now I see it, but when I install Sugar On it I get a complaint that curls cant be found and the the scheduler will be less usful or something.
