[freeside] First Installation

[Gator]

I assume that you have to do the mysql 4.1 binary load since the RPM
install seems to have errors for the server RPM.

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with Apache 2?  I've been using it for
web servers for some time now.  If there are problems, I am blissfully
unaware.

I dont think it warrants a downgrade of the entire OS ... thats a little
extreme ...  ..... just follow the docs ....  and as I mentioned in the
earlier message .. use apache 1.3 ( that would be a more sensible
downgrade)
and your gonna have to upgrade to mysqld 4.1 either way (unless your use
postgres).
