在已安装的apache2服务器上安装php

Question

I have already installed the apache2 on my raspberry pi (raspbian OS) when setting up a svn server. Now I want to add a web server running php and mysql. What is the best way to do this without messing with any existing configurations on my apache2?

Would this be okay to execute on command line or is this package overwriting my existing apache2 install:

$ sudo apt-get install php5-common libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli

The package in question is 'libapache2-mod-php5'.

Cheers

First of all, I've never worked with Raspberry Pi, but will try to give an answer. As you're only installing a module for apache and you're using the prefork compiled version (which is still default if I'm not mistaken). I think there will be no alterations in the configuration, perhaps only some rules will be added to handle PHP files.

To check if you're using Prefork, run this on command line (works on regular linux distributions):

apache2 -l

If you can find prefork.c in the list, I guess you're safe.

Please note that this is from personal experience with default unix distributions! I have never worked with Raspberry Pi (yet).
