#43087 [NEW]: Install documentation for apche is garbage

From: henke at henke37 dot cjb dot net Operating system: Any PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Install documentation for apche is garbage Description: ------------ The documentation on how to hook php in the apache httpd config is a piece of shit. Both as cgi and as module. It pollutes the document root, it pollutes the mime types and is insecure. Please delete the whole page(php.net/install.windows.apache2) and replace with a sane configuration. Reproduce code: --------------- Urls that explains why the documentation is totally insane. http://www.devside.net/articles/php http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PHPOnWindows Expected result: ---------------- A nice easy to use config example that has a high quality and does not abuse features. Actual result: -------------- An hard to use config that is hard to maintain and uses several hacks just to get it kinda working. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43087&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43087&r=mysqlcfg
