How does one install on a Fedora Core 4 system?

I've run ezPublish on my RedHat 9.0 system, but it took me dozens of hours to get all the necessary components installed before I could successfully get ezPublish to work. I'm not a computer professional, so much time was spent in trial and error, and attempting different orders for configuration until I got it right.

Now I've upgraded to Fedora Core 4. However, the task is even more formidable for me as a non-professional. I have to get the thing to run an earlier version of php, and if I remember right that means recompiling apache. Do I have to manually download and install imagemagic, or something having to do with png?

Is there someone who could write a step-by-step how-to for installing ezPublish 3.7 with Mysql on Fedora Core 4? The description should include what elements are available on the Fedora CD's which need to be installed, what needs to be downloaded and from where, what order things should be compiled in, and, if possible, what the commands should be (where configuration options need to be included). This would save me dozens more hours, and, I think, would be of great use to many others as well.

Thank you!

I can attest to it running perfectly on Debian (also *Ubuntu), so you'll be happy with that choice. Installing PHP4 on Fedora is kinda painful. It's not very hard to build from source if you got all the dependencies but getting those in place isn't really a lot of fun.

It's actually very easy to remove PHP5 from Fedora Core 4 using the following instructions:

I helped update the instructions on this site for the 64bit install.

It works just fine on my FC4 install. FC5 was just released today and I have not had a chance to test it on it.
