note 61782 added to install.unix.apache2

Some comments on the install process in SuSE: SuSE has a weird layout of config files for apache, so the automatic config fails on this distribution. To set up the apache environment manually, after "make install" fails you'll need to do all the other "make install" sections that didn't get done to get everything installed, so: # make install (this should fail at the 'install-sapi' stage, but after the module is installed) # make install-cli install-build install-headers install-programs install-pear (this should succeed) Now you need to fix the apache config: # cd /usr/lib/apache2-prefork [or worker if you use it] # ln -s ../apache2/libphp5.so . You now have a copy of the module in the place the config file will look for it. Edit /etc/sysconfig/apache2 and find the line that starts "APACHE_MODULES=" and add "php5" to the end of the list. Remove "php4" if it's there. At this point you may want to rename /etc/apache2/conf.d/php4.conf to .../php5.conf, and perhaps add an entry for '.php5' if you're that way inclined. Or you can leave it as it was in the default install. If you don't have it, create it: <IfModule sapi_apache2.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps DirectoryIndex index.php </IfModule> Now run: # /etc/rc.d/apache2 restart This should rebuild /etc/apache2/sysconfig.d/loadmodules.conf to include php5, and you're in business. ---- Server IP: 64.246.30.37 Probable Submitter: 80.177.208.41 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61782 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61782&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61782&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61782&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61782&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61782&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61782&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61782&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61782&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
