| AIX related request (Apple Network Server) |
Posted by: Leografix on 2012-02-13 06:18:23
Hello.
As I was able to upgrade my Apple Network Server 500/132 a bit I would like to use it again as... well, server! For this project I am looking for helpful hints where to find pre-compiled binaries or the compilable source code for the following parts:
PHP, Perl and MySQL.
The special thing about this: I do NOT plan to use NetBSD or YDL on that box but the original AIX for Apple Network Servers 4.1.5 - was lucky enough to find that one out there in the net. Most of the archives I know provide versions only for AIX 4.3 or higher which is of no use to me. Besides this I am still looking for the AIX distribution fixes Apple once provided on their servers for free. I know about sites like Bull´s freeware and else but - as already mentioned - AIX 4.3 is the lowest level offered there.
Any help - even in handling some parts of that old AIX on the ANS - is very welcome! Thanks for any reply!

Leo, try

This is where most of my ANS' software came from. They also have gcc and egcs which should help you compile later versions if you need.

Once upon a time I was partially successful in getting pkgsrc working on my ANS. Built a few "modern" packages with it. I sold that ANS and probably have the packages archived on a drive somewhere, but I'm afraid that's not much help. So I post this by way of saying you might give pkgsrc a try. AIX isn't the most well-supported platform, and 4.1.5 is very old, but it does work after a fashion.
