There is nothing stopping you from grabbing the Apache and + PHP tarballs and working completely from sources. Simply follow the + instructions in the INSTALL file. But if you like having most things + under rpm control, read on. + + The first thing you need to do is upgrade your Apache to at least + version 1.3.4. You need the apache-1.3.4 rpm along with the apache-devel + RPM. Get them from your favourite RedHatContrib mirror. You will also + need the PHP tarball. The PHP rpm available from RedHat is ok if you + don't need database support or any of the other PHP add-ons. If you do + need to add your own set of features, download the latest PHP tarball + and follow the steps below: + + Step 1: Remove old Apache packages, if installed. + + rpm -e apache + rpm -e apache-devel + + Step 2: Install new Apache packages + + rpm -i apache-1.3.4-1.i386.rpm + rpm -i apache-devel-1.3.4-1.i386.rpm + + Step 3: Determine which PHP extensions you want to use + + ./configure --help + + This will give you a list of all the available options. See + the "PHP Extensions" section of this file for specific instructions + on how to build in support for each extension. + + Step 4: Build PHP + + A typical configure line would look like this: + + ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs --with-mysql --with-ldap + + Then type: + + make + make install + + The 'make install' step should produce something very similar to: + + /usr/bin/apxs -i -a -n php3 libphp3.so + cp libphp3.so /usr/lib/apache/libphp3.so + chmod 755 /usr/lib/apache/libphp3.so + [activating module `php3' in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf] + + At this point you just need to tell your server to restart. + + /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart + + Step 5: Test your setup + + Create a file in your document root directory. I usually call + it info.php3 and in it put this single line: + + <?phpinfo()?> + + Then load it up in your browser: + + http://your.machine/info.php3 + + You should see a nice summary page showing all sorts of information + about your setup. You probably shouldn't leave this file around on + a production server, but for debugging and general info during + development, it is very handy. + + + PHP Extensions + ============== In all cases, it is a good idea to remove the 'config.cache' when trying to reconfigure PHP to include new options. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
