Re: how to install php as module

Apache does not compile the module, PHP does. When you configure httpd, be sure the --enable-mod.so switch is included. When you configure PHP, be sure to --without-cgi and --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs (or wherever httpd is installed). When you <make install> php, it will place the libphp4.so in /usr/local/apache2/modules and enter a "loadmodule php4_module modules/libphp4.so" in the httpd.conf file. You will still have to add the "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" to the MIME types list in httpd.conf. Note that if you want your php scripts executed in cgi-bin, just add "Action application/x-httpd-php '/usr/local/bin/php'" to httpd.conf (which is what I do because I am not a PHP scrub and enforce the MVC design pattern on my webapps). ;-) mark >>> Ruprecht Helms <rhelms@my-mail.ch> 08-Feb-06 16:46 PM >>> Hi, possible I've made a mistake in my configuration. How have I to set up php and apache that php works as an apache-module. I use this with the option --with-mysql and --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local (default path of freetype). Actualy the module was not compiled within apache and there went something wrong by building the libphp4.so. Regards, Ruprecht
