What's in Cool Stack
Cool Stack is a collection of some commonly used open source applications, preconfigured and optimized to run best on Solaris.
| Package Name | Description |
|---|---|
| CSKamp | This package includes Apache2, MySQL5 and PHP5 built to work together. The MySQL included in this package is a 32-bit version with client-side support to work with PHP. |
| CSKmysql | This package includes a 64bit version of MySQL5 and is built with innodb. |
| CSKperl | This package includes Perl 5. Note that Solaris 10 ships with the same version of Perl. However, in addition to being better optimized, CSKperl includes several perl extensions. |
| CSKtds, CSKncurses, CSKphplibs | These packages are optional libraries required if you plan to use the corresponding PHP extensions. |
| CSKmemcached | This package includes memcached, a distributed object cache system. |
| CSKruby | This package includes ruby, rubygems and rails. |
| CSKsquid | This package includes Squid Web Proxy Cache |
| CSKtomcat | This package includes Apache Tomcat which is a pure Java application. It is provided for convenience as it is no different from the one on tomcat.apache.org. |
The above top-level packages can be further broken down into the following individual open-source sub-components.
