#23714 [Ana->Opn]: Unix/HP-UX install documentation is outdated

ID: 23714 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: ch at bumerang dot ro -Status: Analyzed +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: HPUX PHP Version: Irrelevant Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-05-07 05:00:02] philip@php.net I believe the "best" method for installing PHP (and Apache) is to go here: http://www.software.hp.com/ And install one of the found packages. Searching for PHP yields several packages, for example: HP-UX Apache-based Web Server v.2.11 powered by Apache, Tomcat, Webmin We should most likely remove all current documentation and simply mention how to install one of these packages. Well, at least until someone who knows HP-UX can add additional information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-04-26 17:41:22] vrana@php.net wk at mailstation dot de, can you please write some notes for current version or at least point us to sources you used? Everlasting honor will be yours :-). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-20 13:39:06] wk at mailstation dot de I have installed PHP 4.x and 5.x on HP-UX 10.xx and 11.xx. a) The documentation *is* outdated and even wrong (e. g., you *can* build PHP as a shared module on HP-UX). The reference to an unspecified "Apache page" is misleading even. b) No, take it out completely. Having nothing about HP-UX is better than that stuff. c) is therefor irrelevant. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-20 14:15:52] philip@php.net The documentation itself needs an update, the file in question: phpdoc/en/chapters/install.hpux.xml A few points: a) The documentation was written for PHP 4.0.4 so maybe it's outdated? It at least looks outdated. b) It's time we move it from email format to doc format c) The links themselves are dead and should be presented in a more "flexible" way. Instead of linking to specific versions, how about refer to the needed libraries plus a generic link, such as: http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/ So until someone knows (not guesses) the answer to (a), implements (b), and (c), this report should remain open. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-20 09:08:17] sniper@php.net reclassified. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
