Perfect Timing

Some things you’re not letting happen right now because the timing isn’t perfect for you. Some you’re not letting happen because you are very aware of where you are. But all things, as they are happening, are happening in perfect order. And if you will relax and begin saying, “Everything in its perfect time. Everything [...]

Latest PHP/Mysql/Apache From Source

I setup a new 64-bit virtual server running CentOS 5.6.    It was a pretty much vanilla install of CentOS minus Apache, PHP and MySQL I  decided to compile MySQL, PHP and Apache from Source.  Everything was installed in /usr/local/ I created sym links to the version directories to keep a copy of the programs just [...]
