Re: Installing PHP on Linux

from the manual: 1. gunzip apache_1.3.x.tar.gz 2. tar xvf apache_1.3.x.tar 3. gunzip php-x.x.x.tar.gz 4. tar xvf php-x.x.x.tar 5. cd apache_1.3.x 6. ./configure --prefix=/www 7. cd ../php-x.x.x 8. ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars 9. make 10. make install 11. cd ../apache_1.3.x 12. for PHP 3: ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a for PHP 4: ./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a 13. make 14. make install Instead of this step you may prefer to simply copy the httpd binary overtop of your existing binary. Make sure you shut down your server first though. 15. cd ../php-x.x.x 16. for PHP 3: cp php3.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php3.ini for PHP 4: cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini You can edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer this file in another location, use --with-config-file-path=/path in step 8. 17. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add: For PHP 3: AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 For PHP 4: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php You can choose any extension you wish here. .php is simply the one we suggest. You can even include .html . 18. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by use a HUP or USR1 signal.)
