• The user running the installation is not "root", but "seon" with limited permissions
• Firewalls and other security measurements are disabled or not installed. (If they are enabled, you have to change them on your own).

zypper addrepo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/php/SLE_11/ PHP_SLE11

zypper install apache2-mod_php php-bz2 php-mysql php-xmlreader php-xsl php-zip php-zlib \
php5-sockets php5-posix mysql vim iputils zip samba-winbind yast2-kerberos-client glibc-locale glibc-i18ndata libxslt

Start services

For the installation, you need Apache and MySQL up and running:

service apache2 start
service mysql start

chown seon /srv/www/htdocs/
mkdir /opt/seon
chown seon /opt/seon
chgrp users /etc
