RE: [PHP] php 4.04pl 1-3 for red hat 7

check php.net and read the 'README' and 'INSTALL' files that come in the .tar.gz file for more detailed information. very basically, you want to get the sources, untar/zip them, run configure, then build the thing and test it (you can do all of this as an unprivileged user). then install as root (or whatever account has the necessary privileges) (replace php..... with whatever the PHP tarball is named) at the prompt (you dont need to be root) type: tar xvfz php.....tar.gz cd php..... ./configure --enable-trans-sid make make test if you didnt get any errors, then (as root) type: make install then configure your webserver and restart the webserver if you have any specific troubles, let me know, i've config'd PHP on three different redhat linux installations using apache and havent had any problems yet. > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Hotchkiss [mailto:no.spam.lhotch@unicap.com] > Subject: [PHP] php 4.04pl 1-3 for red hat 7 > > > Ok, I am working on a site where I would like to use sessions but NOT > cookies.
