BSD, SSH and PHP on my iPhone

Tonight I installed BSD system on my iPhone. Once that is complete I installed openSSH, Term-vt100. I opened terminal and changed my root password using the command passwd.

I found the ip of the iPhone using the command ifconfig. Latter I was able to connect to the iPhone using ssh from my laptop ;-). I was even able to ftp files to my iphone over SSH.

I Installed apache, php edited httpd.conf and I was able to run php scripts from my iPhone. It has all the basic modules that is needed to write a simple powerful application with sqlite. Taken a screenshot too 😉

  6. Hi,

    you might wanna try lighttpd cause will useup less memory and CPU. Apache is a bit hungry 🙂
    Anyway, without a DB engine (e.g.: mysql?) not too many things can be done… Do you have any idea about bento running on ipod touch/iphone? Maybe can be used for building some small “online” applications? 🙂
    anyway, have fun!

  7. Woow; Good work! please get me more info regarding Replacing OsX in the iphone with other apps.

  13. Hello,

    “Tonight I installed BSD system on my iPhone” <– Does it means you installed *bsd on your iphone or just some libs?

    In case you managed to change OS, anyone knows if nowadays it is legal in most countries to do so?

    BR

    ps : Other vendors provide full *nix compliant systems upgradable at will.
