I've found that the instructions that come with _Apache_ for installing PHP are very straightforward and I haven't had a problem getting Apache and PHP running. The file you need to examine is README.configure in the top level Apache source directory. Included below is the relevant bit. Good luck, -M@ The PHP language (http://www.php.net) is an HTML-embedded scripting language which can be directly integrated into the Apache HTTP server for powerful HTML scripting. The package can be found at http://www.php.net/download-php.php3. 1. How you can install Apache with a statically linked PHP: $ gunzip <apache_1.3.X.tar.gz | tar xvf - $ gunzip <php-3.0.tar.gz | tar xvf - $ cd apache_1.3.X $ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache $ cd ../php-3.0 $ ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.X $ make $ make install [optionally you now have the chance to prepare or add more third-party modules to the Apache source tree] $ cd ../apache_1.3.X $ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache \ --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a $ make $ make install 2. You can also use APXS: $ cd apache-1.3.X $ ./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache --enable-shared=max $ make $ make install $ cd php-3.0.X $ ./configure --with-apxs=/path/to/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-config-file-path=/path/to/apache $ make $ make install At this point don't forget to edit your conf/httpd.conf file and make sure the file contains the line for PHP 3: AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 Or this line for PHP 4: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php Then restart your server. -- Matthew Hixson Code Mangler Vista.com Bringing Small Business Online
