note 36771 added to install.linux

The following is a modified version of Doc Nielsen's script. The issue I had was that $prefix needed to be different for the "php" and the "thttpd" parts. So it had to be set twice. The first value is the base directory were you want the "php directory installed, in my case "/usr". The second has to be the DocumentRoot of you http server, in my case "/var/www". There is something else to pay attention to. If you are going to use mysql for other modules not included in the released source, you must use the directive --with-mysql (see last parameter of the first config). Good luck. #!/bin/sh echo ******************************************** echo ** extracting and installing - php part ** echo ******************************************** prefix="/usr" mysql_dir="/usr/local/mysql" tar jxf php-4.3.3.tar.bz2 tar zxf thttpd-2.21b.tar.gz cd php-4.3.3 ./configure --prefix=$prefix --with-thttpd=../thttpd-2.21b --with-config-file-path=$prefix/lib/php --with-zlib --with-bz2 --with-gd --with-ttf --with-mysql --with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock --disable-rpath --disable-ipv6 --enable-static --enable-roxen-zts --enable-track-vars --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-gettext --with-mysql=$mysql_dir make all install echo ******************************************** echo ** extracting and installing - thttpd part** echo ******************************************** cd ../thttpd-2.21b/ prefix="/var/www" ./configure --prefix=$prefix make all install ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.linux.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+36771 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+36771&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+36771&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
