OpenBSD 5.2 - Installing PHP 5.3.14

As always we will installing PHP from the package system using pkg_add magic.

Currently the latest PHP version for OpenBSD 5.2 is 5.3.14 which I think is ok for any web application out there.

Let r0ck!

/* Installing PHP

#pkg_add -i php
Ambiguous: choose package for php
 a       0:
         1: php-5.2.17p12
         2: php-5.3.14p1
Your choice: 2

Everything will be install except extension that you might want to install later.

The PHP binary will be install in /usr/local/bin/php-5.3

If you don't like to use php-5.3 you can simply create a symbolic link with any name that you want like just a php only without 5.3 thingy.

/* Installing additional PHP extension.

You can browse the pre compiled package at

(Mirror example)
ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/OpenBSD/5.2/packages/i386/

Let's say we want to install GD library

#pkg_add php-gd-5.3.14p0

Create a symbolic link

ln -sf /etc/php-5.3.sample/gd.ini /etc/php-5.3/gd.ini

View the install extension

#php-5.3 -m

Done :)

Building a KVM Proxy

Traditionally we seldomly connect our KVM from the port directly to the server that consists of usb for keyboard and mouse, vga cable for display purposes. More advanced you may have an experience using the iKVM which connect all you kvm port from the internet where you can have a remote location as long as you have the internet connection. When technology evolve, physical server are becoming obsolete since we have the virtualization technology. Since that to access your virtual machine (vm) are more easier. Instead of using SSH, like a Xen hypervisor, the Xen itself can host as a KVM server and map to the vm on different port as configured from the config file.
