			Although we do not use the distribution's Apache and PHP software, we do use MySQL and the default installation provides internal consistency. However, after installation do not start the default Apache server. We install our own Apache and PHP in /usr/local/ so that this does not interfere with the system defaults. While the openSUSE configuration of HTTPD is particularly arcane for small systems and individual users, it offers support through YAST updates. Its installation is described in the [http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:LAMP_setup openSUSE wiki]. When running the default openSUSE LAMP server we follow the guide from the [https://www.suse.com/documentation/sles11/book_sle_admin/data/sec_apache2_configuration.html SLES documentation].

The public servers, and increasingly our internal operations, also depend on server-side technology to provide interactive computing and remote access while minimizing the need for software that depends on the end-user's computer system. To this end, we use the Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (LAMP) model, and add Python and SQLite for many applications.		The telescope control computers, servers, and workstations at Moore and Mt.

			The CGI script must have permission to access devices, for example those connected to a serial port or on the USB bus. This is achieved by adding wwwrun to groups that have permission to use those devices -- video for the gphoto2 USB cameras, and dialout for the serial ports. See [http://www.astro.louisville.edu/mediawiki/index.php/OpenSuse OpenSuse] for more information.
