+
+Chapter 1. General Installation Considerations
+
+ Before starting the installation, first you need to know what do you
+ want to use PHP for. There are three main fields you can use PHP, as
+ described in the What can PHP do? section:
+
+ * Server-side scripting
+ * Command line scripting
+ * Client-side GUI applications
+
+ For the first and most common form, you need three things: PHP itself,
+ a web server and a web browser. You probably already have a web
+ browser, and depending on your operating system setup, you may also
+ have a web server (e.g. Apache on Linux and MacOS X; IIS on Windows).
+ You may also rent webspace at a company. This way, you don't need to
+ set up anything on your own, only write your PHP scripts, upload it to
+ the server you rent, and see the results in your browser.
+
+ While setting up the server and PHP on your own, you have two choices
+ for the method of connecting PHP to the server. For many servers PHP
+ has a direct module interface (also called SAPI). These servers
+ include Apache, Microsoft Internet Information Server, Netscape and
+ iPlanet servers. Many other servers have support for ISAPI, the
+ Microsoft module interface (OmniHTTPd for example). If PHP has no
+ module support for your web server, you can always use it as a CGI or
+ FastCGI processor. This means you set up your server to use the CGI
+ executable of PHP to process all PHP file requests on the server.
+
+ If you are also interested to use PHP for command line scripting (e.g.
+ write scripts autogenerating some images for you offline, or
+ processing text files depending on some arguments you pass to them),
+ you always need the command line executable. For more information,
+ read the section about writing command line PHP applications. In this
+ case, you need no server and no browser.
+
+ With PHP you can also write desktop GUI applications using the PHP-GTK
+ extension. This is a completely different approach than writing web
+ pages, as you do not output any HTML, but manage windows and objects
+ within them. For more information about PHP-GTK, please visit the site
+ dedicated to this extension. PHP-GTK is not included in the official
+ PHP distribution.
+
+ From now on, this section deals with setting up PHP for web servers on
+ Unix and Windows with server module interfaces and CGI executables.
+ You will also find information on the command line executable in the
+ following sections.
+
+ PHP source code and binary distributions for Windows can be found at
+ http://www.php.net/downloads.php. We recommend you to choose a mirror
+ nearest to you for downloading the distributions.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Chapter 2. Installation on Mac OS X
+
+ This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
+ Mac OS X. There are two slightly different versions of Mac OS X,
+ Client and Server, our manual deals with installing PHP on both
+ systems. Note that PHP is not available for MacOS 9 and earlier
+ versions.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Using Packages
+
+ There are a few pre-packaged and pre-compiled versions of PHP for Mac
+ OS X. This can help in setting up a standard configuration, but if you
+ need to have a different set of features (such as a secure server, or
+ a different database driver), you may need to build PHP and/or your
+ web server yourself. If you are unfamiliar with building and compiling
+ your own software, it's worth checking whether somebody has already
+ built a packaged version of PHP with the features you need.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Compiling for OS X Server
+
+ Mac OS X Server install.
+
+ 1. Get the latest distributions of Apache and PHP.
+ 2. Untar them, and run the configure program on Apache like so.
+
+./configure --exec-prefix=/usr \
+--localstatedir=/var \
+--mandir=/usr/share/man \
+--libexecdir=/System/Library/Apache/Modules \
+--iconsdir=/System/Library/Apache/Icons \
+--includedir=/System/Library/Frameworks/Apache.framework/Versions/1.3/Headers \
+--enable-shared=max \
+--enable-module=most \
+--target=apache
+
+ 3. If you want the compiler to do some optimization, you may also
+ want to add this line:
+
+setenv OPTIM=-O2
+
+ 4. Next, go to the PHP 4 source directory and configure it.
+
+./configure --prefix=/usr \
+ --sysconfdir=/etc \
+ --localstatedir=/var \
+ --mandir=/usr/share/man \
+ --with-xml \
+ --with-apache=/src/apache_1.3.12
+
+ If you have any other additions (MySQL, GD, etc.), be sure to add
+ them here. For the --with-apache string, put in the path to your
+ apache source directory, for example /src/apache_1.3.12.
+ 5. Type make and make install. This will add a directory to your
+ Apache source directory under src/modules/php4.
+ 6. Now, reconfigure Apache to build in PHP 4.
+
+./configure --exec-prefix=/usr \
+--localstatedir=/var \
+--mandir=/usr/share/man \
+--libexecdir=/System/Library/Apache/Modules \
+--iconsdir=/System/Library/Apache/Icons \
+--includedir=/System/Library/Frameworks/Apache.framework/Versions/1.3/Headers \
+--enable-shared=max \
+--enable-module=most \
+--target=apache \
+--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
+
+ You may get a message telling you that libmodphp4.a is out of
+ date. If so, go to the src/modules/php4 directory inside your
+ Apache source directory and run this command: ranlib libmodphp4.a.
+ Then go back to the root of the Apache source directory and run
+ the above configure command again. That'll bring the link table up
+ to date. Run make and make install again.
+ 7. Copy and rename the php.ini-dist file to your bin directory from
+ your PHP 4 source directory: cp php.ini-dist
+ /usr/local/bin/php.ini or (if your don't have a local directory)
+ cp php.ini-dist /usr/bin/php.ini.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Compiling for MacOS X Client
+
+ The following instructions will help you install a PHP module for the
+ Apache web server included in MacOS X. This version includes support
+ for the MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. These instructions are
+ graciously provided by Marc Liyanage.
+
+ Warning
+
+ Be careful when you do this, you could screw up your Apache web
+ server!
+
+ Do this to install:
+
+ 1. Open a terminal window.
+ 2. Type wget
+ http://www.diax.ch/users/liyanage/software/macosx/libphp4.so.gz,
+ wait for the download to finish.
+ 3. Type gunzip libphp4.so.gz.
+ 4. Type sudo apxs -i -a -n php4 libphp4.so
+ 5. Now type sudo open -a TextEdit /etc/httpd/httpd.conf. TextEdit
+ will open with the web server configuration file. Locate these two
+ lines towards the end of the file: (Use the Find command)
+
+#AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
+#AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
+
+ Remove the two hash marks (#), then save the file and quit
+ TextEdit.
+ 6. Finally, type sudo apachectl graceful to restart the web server.
+
+ PHP should now be up and running. You can test it by dropping a file
+ into your Sites folder which is called test.php. Into that file, write
+ this line: <?php phpinfo() ?>.
+
+ Now open up 127.0.0.1/~your_username/test.php in your web browser. You
+ should see a status table with information about the PHP module.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Chapter 3. Installation on Unix systems
+
+ This section will guide you through the general configuration and
+ installation of PHP on Unix systems. Be sure to investigate any
+ sections specific to your platform or web server before you begin the
+ process.
+
+ As our manual outlines in the General Installation Considerations
+ section, we are mainly dealing with web centric setups of PHP in this
+ section, although we will cover setting up PHP for command line usage
+ as well.
+
+ There are several ways to install PHP for the Unix platform, either
+ with a compile and configure process, or through various pre-packaged
+ methods. This documentation is mainly focused around the process of
+ compiling and configuring PHP. Many Unix like systems have some sort
+ of package installation system. This can assist in setting up a
+ standard configuration, but if you need to have a different set of
+ features (such as a secure server, or a different database driver),
+ you may need to build PHP and/or your webserver. If you are unfamiliar
+ with building and compiling your own software, it is worth checking to
+ see whether somebody has already built a packaged version of PHP with
+ the features you need.
+
+ Prerequisite knowledge and software for compiling:
+
+ * Basic Unix skills (being able to operate "make" and a C compiler)
+ * An ANSI C compiler
+ * flex
+ * bison
+ * A web server
+ * Any module specific components (such as gd, pdf libs, etc.)
+
+ The initial PHP setup and configuration process is controlled by the
+ use of the commandline options of the configure script. Our manual
+ documents the different options separately. You will find the core
+ options in the appendix, while the different extension specific
+ options are descibed on the reference pages.
+
+ When PHP is configured, you are ready to build the module and/or
+ executables. The command make should take care of this. If it fails
+ and you can't figure out why, see the Problems section.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Gentoo installation notes
+
+ This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
+ Gentoo Linux.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Using Portage (emerge)
+
+ While you can just download the PHP source and compile it youself,
+ using Gentoo's packaging system is the simplest and cleanest method of
+ installing PHP. If you are not familiar with building software on
+ Linux, this is the way to go.
+
+ If you have built your Gentoo system so far, you are probably used to
+ Portage already. Installing Apache and PHP is no different than the
+ other system tools.
+
+ The first decision you need to make is whether you want to install
+ Apache 1.3.x or Apache 2.x. While both can be used with PHP, the steps
+ given bellow will use Apache 1.3.x. Another thing to consider is
+ whether your local Portage tree is up to date. If you have not updated
+ it recently, you need to run emerge sync before anything else. This
+ way, you will be using the most recent stable version of Apache and
+ PHP.
+
+ Now that everything is in place, you can use the following example to
+ install Apache and PHP:
+
+ Example 3-1. Gentoo Install Example with Apache 1.3
+# emerge \<apache-2
+# USE="-*" emerge php mod_php
+# ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-php/mod_php-<your PHP version>/mod_php-<your PHP versi
+on>.ebuild config
+# nano /etc/conf.d/apache
+ Add "-D PHP4" to APACHE_OPTS
+
+# rc-update add apache default
+# /etc/init.d/apache start
+
+ You can read more about emerge in the excellent Portage Manual
+ provided on the Gentoo website.
+
+ If you need to use Apache 2, you can simply use emerge apache in the
+ last example.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Better control on configuration
+
+ In the last section, PHP was emerged without any activated modules. As
+ of this writing, the only module activated by default with Portage is
+ XML which is needed by PEAR. This may not be what you want and you
+ will soon discover that you need more activated modules, like MySQL,
+ gettext, GD, etc.
+
+ When you compile PHP from source yourself, you need to activate
+ modules via the configure command. With Gentoo, you can simply provide
+ USE flags which will be passed to the configure script automatically.
+ To see which USE flags to use with emerge, you can try:
+
+ Example 3-2. Getting the list of valid USE flags
+# USE="-*" emerge -pv php
+
+[ebuild N ] dev-php/php-4.3.6-r1 -X -berkdb -crypt -curl -debug -doc
+-fdftk -firebird -flash -freetds -gd -gd-external -gdbm -gmp -hardenedphp
+-imap -informix -ipv6 -java -jpeg -kerberos -ldap -mcal -memlimit -mssql
+-mysql -ncurses -nls -oci8 -odbc -pam -pdflib -png -postgres -qt -readline
+-snmp -spell -ssl -tiff -truetype -xml2 -yaz 3,876 kB
+
+ As you can see from the last output, PHP considers a lot of USE flags.
+ Look at them closely and choose what you need. If you choose a flag
+ and you do not have the proper librairies, Portage will compile them
+ for you. It is a good idea to use emerge -pv again to see what Portage
+ will compile in accordance to your USE flags. As an example, if you do
+ not have X installed and you choose to include X in the USE flags,
+ Portage will compile X prior to PHP, which can take a couple of hours.
+
+ If you choose to compile PHP with MySQL, cURL and GD support, the
+ command will look something like this:
+
+ Example 3-3. Install PHP with USE flags
+ # USE="-* curl mysql gd" emerge php mod_php
+
+ As in the last example, do not forget to emerge php as well as
+ mod_php. php is responsible for the command line version of PHP as
+ mod_php is for the Apache module version of PHP.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Common Problems
+
+ * If you see the PHP source instead of the result the script should
+ produce, you have probably forgot to edit /etc/conf.d/apache.
+ Apache needs to be started with the -D PHP4 flag. To see if the
+ flag is present, you should be able to see it when using ps ax |
+ grep apache while Apache is running.
+ * Due to slotting problems, you might end up with more than one
+ version of PHP installed on your system. If this is the case, you
+ need to unmerge the old versions manually by using emerge unmerge
+ mod_php-<old version>.
+ * If you cannot emerge PHP because of Java, try putting -* in front
+ of your USE flags like in the above examples.
+ * If you are having problems configuring Apache and PHP, you can
+ always search the Gentoo Forums. Try searching with the keywords
+ "Apache PHP".

+
+HP-UX specific installation notes
+
+ This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
+ HP-UX systems. (Contributed by paul_mckay at clearwater-it dot co dot
+ uk).
+
+ Note: These tips were written for PHP 4.0.4 and Apache 1.3.9.
+
+ 1. You need gzip, download a binary distribution from
+ http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/gzip-1.2.4a/gzip-1.2.4a-sd
+ -10.20.depot.Z uncompress the file and install using swinstall.
+ 2. You need gcc, download a binary distribution from
+ http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/ftp/hpux/Gnu/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-sd-
+ 10.20.depot.gz. uncompress this file and install gcc using
+ swinstall.
+ 3. You need the GNU binutils, you can download a binary distribution
+ from
+ http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/binutils-2.9.1/binutils-2.
+ 9.1-sd-10.20.depot.gz. uncompress this file and install binutils
+ using swinstall.
+ 4. You now need bison, you can download a binary distribution from
+ http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/bison-1.28/bison-1.28-sd-1
+ 0.20.depot.gz, install as above.
+ 5. You now need flex, you need to download the source from one of the
+ http://www.gnu.org mirrors. It is in the non-gnu directory of the
+ ftp site. Download the file, gunzip, then tar -xvf it. Go into the
+ newly created flex directory and run ./configure, followed by
+ make, and then make install.
+ If you have errors here, it's probably because gcc etc. are not in
+ your PATH so add them to your PATH.
+ 6. Download the PHP and apache sources.
+ 7. gunzip and tar -xvf them. We need to hack a couple of files so
+ that they can compile OK.
+ 8. Firstly the configure file needs to be hacked because it seems to
+ lose track of the fact that you are a hpux machine, there will be
+ a better way of doing this but a cheap and cheerful hack is to put
+ lt_target=hpux10.20 on line 47286 of the configure script.
+ 9. Next, the Apache GuessOS file needs to be hacked. Under
+ apache_1.3.9/src/helpers change line 89 from echo
+ "hp${HPUXMACH}-hpux${HPUXVER}"; exit 0 to: echo
+ "hp${HPUXMACH}-hp-hpux${HPUXVER}"; exit 0
+ 10. You cannot install PHP as a shared object under HP-UX so you must
+ compile it as a static, just follow the instructions at the Apache
+ page.
+ 11. PHP and Apache should have compiled OK, but Apache won't start.
+ you need to create a new user for Apache, e.g. www, or apache. You
+ then change lines 252 and 253 of the conf/httpd.conf in Apache so
+ that instead of
+
+User nobody
+Group nogroup
+
+ you have something like
+
+User www
+Group sys
+
+ This is because you can't run Apache as nobody under hp-ux. Apache
+ and PHP should then work.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+OpenBSD installation notes
+
+ This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
+ OpenBSD 3.4.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Using Binary Packages
+
+ Using binary packages to install PHP on OpenBSD is the recommended and
+ simplest method. The core package has been separated from the various
+ modules, and each can be installed and removed independently from the
+ others. The files you need can be found on your OpenBSD CD or on the
+ FTP site.
+
+ The main package you need to install is php4-core-4.3.3.tgz, which
+ contains the basic engine (plus gettext and iconv). Next, take a look
+ at the module packages, such as php4-mysql-4.3.3.tgz or
+ php4-imap-4.3.3.tgz. You need to use the phpxs command to activate and
+ deactivate these modules in your php.ini.
+
+ Example 3-4. OpenBSD Package Install Example
+# pkg_add php4-core-4.3.3.tgz
+# /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -s
+# cp /usr/local/share/doc/php4/php.ini-recommended /var/www/conf/php.ini
+ (add in mysql)
+# pkg_add php4-mysql-4.3.3.tgz
+# /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a mysql
+ (add in imap)
+# pkg_add php4-imap-4.3.3.tgz
+# /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -a imap
+ (remove mysql as a test)
+# pkg_delete php4-mysql-4.3.3
+# /usr/local/sbin/phpxs -r mysql
+ (install the PEAR libraries)
+# pkg_add php4-pear-4.3.3.tgz
+
+ Read the packages(7) manual page for more information about binary
+ packages on OpenBSD.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Using Ports
+
+ You can also compile up PHP from source using the ports tree. However,
+ this is only recommended for users familiar with OpenBSD. The PHP 4
+ port is split into two sub-directories: core and extensions. The
+ extensions directory generates sub-packages for all of the supported
+ PHP modules. If you find you do not want to create some of these
+ modules, use the no_* FLAVOR. For example, to skip building the imap
+ module, set the FLAVOR to no_imap.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Common Problems
+
+ * The default install of Apache runs inside a chroot(2) jail, which
+ will restrict PHP scripts to accessing files under /var/www. You
+ will therefore need to create a /var/www/tmp directory for PHP
+ session files to be stored, or use an alternative session backend.
+ In addition, database sockets need to be placed inside the jail or
+ listen on the localhost interface. If you use network functions,
+ some files from /etc such as /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/services
+ will need to be moved into /var/www/etc. The OpenBSD PEAR package
+ automatically installs into the correct chroot directories, so no
+ special modification is needed there. More information on the
+ OpenBSD Apache is available in the OpenBSD FAQ.
+ * The OpenBSD 3.4 package for the gd extension requires XFree86 to
+ be installed. If you do not wish to use some of the font features
+ that require X11, install the php4-gd-4.3.3-no_x11.tgz package
+ instead.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Older Releases
+
+ Older releases of OpenBSD used the FLAVORS system to compile up a
+ statically linked PHP. Since it is hard to generate binary packages
+ using this method, it is now deprecated. You can still use the old
+ stable ports trees if you wish, but they are unsupported by the
+ OpenBSD team. If you have any comments about this, the current
+ maintainer for the port is Anil Madhavapeddy (avsm at openbsd dot
+ org).
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Solaris specific installation tips
+
+ This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP on
+ Solaris systems.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Required software
+
+ Solaris installs often lack C compilers and their related tools. Read
+ this FAQ for information on why using GNU versions for some of these
+ tools is necessary. The required software is as follows:
+
+ * gcc (recommended, other C compilers may work)
+ * make
+ * flex
+ * bison
+ * m4
+ * autoconf
+ * automake
+ * perl
+ * gzip
+ * tar
+ * GNU sed
+
+ In addition, you will need to install (and possibly compile) any
+ additional software specific to your configuration, such as Oracle or
+ MySQL.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Using Packages
+
+ You can simplify the Solaris install process by using pkgadd to
+ install most of your needed components.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Apache 1.3.x on Unix systems
+
+ This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache installs of
+ PHP on Unix platforms. We also have instructions and notes for Apache
+ 2 on a separate page.
+
+ You can select arguments to add to the configure on line 10 below from
+ the list of core configure options and from extension specific options
+ described at the respective places in the manual. The version numbers
+ have been omitted here, to ensure the instructions are not incorrect.
+ You will need to replace the 'xxx' here with the correct values from
+ your files.
+
+ Example 3-5. Installation Instructions (Apache Shared Module Version)
+ for PHP
+1. gunzip apache_xxx.tar.gz
+2. tar -xvf apache_xxx.tar
+3. gunzip php-xxx.tar.gz
+4. tar -xvf php-xxx.tar
+5. cd apache_xxx
+6. ./configure --prefix=/www --enable-module=so
+7. make
+8. make install
+9. cd ../php-xxx
+
+10. Now, configure your PHP. This is where you customize your PHP
+ with various options, like which extensions will be enabled. Do a
+ ./configure --help for a list of available options. In our example
+ we'll do a simple configure with Apache 1 and MySQL support. Your
+ path to apxs may differ from our example.
+
+ ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs
+
+11. make
+12. make install
+
+ If you decide to change your configure options after installation,
+ you only need to repeat the last three steps. You only need to
+ restart apache for the new module to take effect. A recompile of
+ Apache is not needed.
+
+ Note that unless told otherwise, 'make install' will also install PEAR,
+ various PHP tools such as phpize, install the PHP CLI, and more.
+
+13. Setup your php.ini file:
+
+ cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
+
+ You may edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer your
+ php.ini in another location, use --with-config-file-path=/some/path in
+ step 10.
-Before going any further, please remember you are going to find more
-up to date instructions in the online manual, located here:
+ If you instead choose php.ini-recommended, be certain to read the list
+ of changes within, as they affect how PHP behaves.
+
+14. Edit your httpd.conf to load the PHP module. The path on the right hand
+ side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP
+ module on your system. The make install from above may have already
+ added this for you, but be sure to check.
-http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php
+ For PHP 4:
-For Apache 2, instructions and up-to-date information regarding its
-support status, is available here:
+ LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
-http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php
+ For PHP 5:
-It is strongly recommended that you read the manual page before going
-further. However, for the impatient, here is a quick set of steps that
-will build PHP as (first) a dynamic Apache module (DSO) for Apache 1.3.x
-with MySQL support and then a static module. A more verbose explanation follows.
-
-For installing PHP on other web servers, refer to one of the following
-files:
-
- sapi/aolserver/README
- sapi/pi3web/README
- sapi/servlet/README
- sapi/thttpd/README
- README.Zeus
-
-Some notes:
-
-1: Only install either the static module or the dynamic one. Do not
- install both.
-
-2: If you are recompiling PHP to add new extensions or upgrading
- something like GD, remove the config.cache file before you re-run
- configure.
-
-3: If you are on Linux and have installed shared libraries, make
- sure the location of these shared libraries are listed in your
- /etc/ld.so.conf file. For example, if you have:
-
- /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
-
- Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf contains:
-
- /usr/local/lib/mysql
-
- Then run ldconfig.
-
-If you want both PHP 3 and 4 modules in the same Apache server, check the
-bottom of this file for instructions.
-
-INSTALLATION WITH THE ZEUS WEB SERVER:
---Please see the 'README.Zeus' file included in this distribution
-
-
-QUICK INSTALL (DSO)
-
-For this to work your Apache httpd must have mod_so enabled.
-Check using httpd -l. You should see something like:
-
-Compiled-in modules:
- http_core.c
- mod_so.c
-
-Chances are you will see a lot more modules than these two. That's ok,
-as long as mod_so.c shows up you can proceed with the following steps:
-
-$ gunzip -c php-4.x.y.tar.gz | tar xf -
-$ cd php-4.x.y
-$ ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs
-$ make
-$ make install
-
-If you get an error telling you that the apxs script could not be found,
-look for it on your system and if you find it, provide the full path to it
-as: --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
-
-Make sure you specify the version of apxs that is actually installed on
-your system and NOT the one that is in the apache source tarball.
-
-Next you must copy php.ini-dist to the appropriate place (normally
-/usr/local/lib/php.ini) and edit it as necessary to set PHP options.
-
-The only thing left to do is to edit your httpd.conf file and make sure the
-PHP 4 mime type is there and uncommented. You need a line that looks like
-this:
-
- AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
-
-Then restart your server (apachectl restart) and you should be able to
-serve up PHP files now. Make a test file called test.php and put some
-PHP tags in it. Like <?phpinfo()?>, for example.
-
-
-QUICK INSTALL (Static)
-
-$ gunzip -c apache_1.3.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
-$ cd apache_1.3.x
-$ ./configure
-$ cd ..
-
-$ gunzip -c php-4.x.y.tar.gz | tar xf -
-$ cd php-4.x.y
-$ ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x
-$ make
-$ make install
-
-$ cd ../apache_1.3.x
-$ ./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a
- (The above line is correct! Yes, we know libphp5.a does not exist at this
- stage. It isn't supposed to. It will be created.)
-$ make
- (you should now have an httpd binary which you can copy to your Apache bin dir if
- is is your first install then you need to "make install" as well)
-$ cd ../php-4.x.y
-$ cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
-You can edit /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to set PHP options.
-Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add:
- AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
-
-
-VERBOSE INSTALL
-
-Chances are you are reading this because the quick install steps above
-did not work for you. If this is the case, congratulations, you are
-among the elite few that actually reads documentation. It really is
-not a difficult install and once you have done it once you will fly
-through it.
+ LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so
-Installing PHP can be done in four simple steps:
+15. And in the AddModule section of httpd.conf, somewhere under the
+ ClearModuleList, add this:
-1. Unpack your distribution file.
+ For PHP 4:
- You will have downloaded a file named something like php-4.x.y.tar.gz.
- Unzip this file with a command like: gunzip php-4.x.y.tar.gz
+ AddModule mod_php4.c
- Next you have to untar it with: tar -xvf php-4.x.y.tar
+ For PHP 5:
- This will create a php-4.x.y directory. cd into this new directory.
+ AddModule mod_php5.c
-2a. Configure PHP (Dynamic Module) - Skip to 2b if you wish to build
- a static module
+16. Tell Apache to parse certain extensions as PHP. For example,
+ let's have Apache parse the .php extension as PHP. You could
+ have any extension(s) parse as PHP by simply adding more, with
+ each separated by a space. We'll add .phtml to demonstrate.
- You now have to choose the options you would like. There are quite
- a few of them. To see a list, type: ./configure --help
+ AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
- The only options that you are likely to want to use are the ones in
- the last section entitled, "--enable and --with options recognized:"
+ It's also common to setup the .phps extension to show highlighted PHP
+ source, this can be done with:
- A popular choice is to build the Apache module version. In order to
- build PHP as a dynamic module for Apache-1.3.x you have to first have
- Apache installed. Assuming Apache is already installed, make sure
- the shared object module is enabled. To check this, type: httpd -l
- You should see something like:
+ AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
- Compiled-in modules:
- http_core.c
- mod_so.c
+17. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must
+ stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by
+ using a HUP or USR1 signal.)
- You will most likely have a lot more modules than what is shown here.
- As long as mod_so.c shows up in the list, PHP should be happy.
+ Depending on your Apache install and Unix variant, there are many
+ possible ways to stop and restart the server. Below are some typical
+ lines used in restarting the server, for different apache/unix
+ installations. You should replace /path/to/ with the path to these
+ applications on your systems.
- Now, type: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs
+ Example 3-6. Example commands for restarting Apache
+1. Several Linux and SysV variants:
+/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
- If you get an error telling you that the apxs script could not be found,
- look for it on your system and if you find it, provide the full path to it
- as: --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
+2. Using apachectl scripts:
+/path/to/apachectl stop
+/path/to/apachectl start
- Make sure you specify the version of apxs that is actually installed on
- your system and NOT the one that is in the apache source tarball.
-
- You might also want other flags on this configure line. --with-mysql
- is just an example.
+3. httpdctl and httpsdctl (Using OpenSSL), similar to apachectl:
+/path/to/httpsdctl stop
+/path/to/httpsdctl start
- There are a few things that can go wrong during this configure step.
- The most common is that you have asked for an option and that the
- configure script can not find the files required to enable this
- option in PHP. Chances are you can provide the full path to the
- base directory under which the related files were installed. For
- example, if you have installed the GD library in /opt/gd which means
- that /opt/gd/include has your GD header files and /opt/gd/lib contains
- your GD library files, you would use --with-gd=/opt/gd
+4. Using mod_ssl, or another SSL server, you may want to manually
+stop and start:
+/path/to/apachectl stop
+/path/to/apachectl startssl
- Skip to step 3 for compilation and installation instructions.
+ The locations of the apachectl and http(s)dctl binaries often vary. If
+ your system has locate or whereis or which commands, these can assist
+ you in finding your server control programs.
-2b. Configure PHP (Static Module) - Skip if you performed 2a
+ Different examples of compiling PHP for apache are as follows:
- You now have to choose the options you would like. There are quite
- a few of them. To see a list, type: ./configure --help
+ ./configure --with-apxs --with-pgsql
+
+ This will create a libphp4.so shared library that is loaded into
+ Apache using a LoadModule line in Apache's httpd.conf file. The
+ PostgreSQL support is embedded into this libphp4.so library.
+
+ ./configure --with-apxs --with-pgsql=shared
+
+ This will create a libphp4.so shared library for Apache, but it will
+ also create a pgsql.so shared library that is loaded into PHP either
+ by using the extension directive in php.ini file or by loading it
+ explicitly in a script using the dl() function.
+
+ ./configure --with-apache=/path/to/apache_source --with-pgsql
+
+ This will create a libmodphp4.a library, a mod_php4.c and some
+ accompanying files and copy this into the src/modules/php4 directory
+ in the Apache source tree. Then you compile Apache using
+ --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a and the Apache build
+ system will create libphp4.a and link it statically into the httpd
+ binary. The PostgreSQL support is included directly into this httpd
+ binary, so the final result here is a single httpd binary that
+ includes all of Apache and all of PHP.
+
+ ./configure --with-apache=/path/to/apache_source --with-pgsql=shared
+
+ Same as before, except instead of including PostgreSQL support
+ directly into the final httpd you will get a pgsql.so shared library
+ that you can load into PHP from either the php.ini file or directly
+ using dl().
+
+ When choosing to build PHP in different ways, you should consider the
+ advantages and drawbacks of each method. Building as a shared object
+ will mean that you can compile apache separately, and don't have to
+ recompile everything as you add to, or change, PHP. Building PHP into
+ apache (static method) means that PHP will load and run faster. For
+ more information, see the Apache webpage on DSO support.
+
+ Note: Apache's default httpd.conf currently ships with a section
+ that looks like this:
- The only options that you are likely to want to use are the ones in
- the last section entitled, "--enable and --with options recognized:"
+User nobody
+Group "#-1"
- A popular choice is to build the Apache module version. You need
- to know where the source code directory for your Apache server is
- located. Then use an option like: --with-apache=/usr/local/src/apache
- if that is your Apache source code directory. If you only specify
- --with-apache, then it will default to look for your Apache source
- in /usr/local/etc/httpd.
+ Unless you change that to "Group nogroup" or something like that
+ ("Group daemon" is also very common) PHP will not be able to open
+ files.
- NOTE: The directory you specify should be the top-level of the
- unpacked Apache (or Stronghold) distribution. The configure program
- will automatically look for httpd.h in different directories under that
- location depending on which version of Apache, including Stronghold,
- you are running.
+ Note: Make sure you specify the installed version of apxs when
+ using --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs. You must NOT use the apxs version
+ that is in the apache sources but the one that is actually
+ installed on your system.
+ _________________________________________________________________
- For MySQL support, since newer versions of MySQL installs its various
- components under /usr/local, this is the default. If you have
- changed the location you can specify it with: --with-mysql=/opt/local
- for example. Otherwise just use: --with-mysql
+Apache 2.0 on Unix systems
- *NOTE* If you are using Apache 1.3b6 or later, you should run the
- Apache Configure script at least once before compiling PHP. It
- doesn't matter how you have Apache configured at this point.
+ This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache 2.0 installs
+ of PHP on Unix systems.
- Skip to step 3b at this point.
+ Warning
-3. Compile and install the files. Simply type: make install
+ Do not use Apache 2.0.x and PHP in a production environment neither on
+ Unix nor on Windows. For information on why, read the following FAQ
+ entry
-3a. Dynamic Module Installation
+ You are highly encouraged to take a look at the Apache Documentation
+ to get a basic understanding of the Apache 2.0 Server.
- Nothing else is needed here. Proceed to step 4a.
+ PHP and Apache 2.0.x compatibility notes: The following versions of
+ PHP are known to work with the most recent version of Apache 2.0.x:
-3b. Static Module Installation
+ * PHP 4.3.0 or later available at http://www.php.net/downloads.php.
+ * the latest stable development version. Get the source code
+ http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz or download binaries for
+ Windows http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip.
+ * a prerelease version downloadable from http://qa.php.net/.
+ * you have always the option to obtain PHP through anonymous CVS.
- For the Apache module version this will copy the appropriate files
- to the src/modules/php5 directory in your Apache distribution if
- you are using Apache 1.3.x. If you are still running Apache 1.2.x
- these files will be copied directly to the main src directory.
+ These versions of PHP are compatible to Apache 2.0.40 and later.
- For Apache 1.3b6 and later, you can use the new APACI configuration
- mechanism. To automatically build Apache with PHP support, use:
+ Apache 2.0 SAPI-support started with PHP 4.2.0. PHP 4.2.3 works
+ with Apache 2.0.39, don't use any other version of Apache with PHP
+ 4.2.3. However, the recommended setup is to use PHP 4.3.0 or later
+ with the most recent version of Apache2.
- cd apache_1.3.x
- ./configure --prefix=/<path>/apache \
- --activate-module=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a
- make
- make install
+ All mentioned versions of PHP will work still with Apache 1.3.x.
- If you do not wish to use this new configuration tool, the old
- install procedure (src/Configure) will work fine.
+ Download the most recent version of Apache 2.0 and a fitting PHP
+ version from the above mentioned places. This quick guide covers only
+ the basics to get started with Apache 2.0 and PHP. For more
+ information read the Apache Documentation. The version numbers have
+ been omitted here, to ensure the instructions are not incorrect. You
+ will need to replace the 'NN' here with the correct values from your
+ files.
- If you are using the old Apache ./Configure script, you will have to
- edit the Apache src/Configuration file manually. If you do not have
- this file, copy Configuration.tmpl to Configuration.
+ Example 3-7. Installation Instructions (Apache 2 Shared Module
+ Version)
+1. gzip -d httpd-2_0_NN.tar.gz
+2. tar xvf httpd-2_0_NN.tar
+3. gunzip php-NN.tar.gz
+4. tar -xvf php-NN.tar
+5. cd httpd-2_0_NN
+6. ./configure --enable-so
+7. make
+8. make install
- For Apache 1.3.x add:
+ Now you have Apache 2.0.NN available under /usr/local/apache2,
+ configured with loadable module support and the standard MPM prefork.
+ To test the installation use your normal procedure for starting
+ the Apache server, e.g.:
+ /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
+ and stop the server to go on with the configuration for PHP:
+ /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl stop.
- AddModule modules/php5/libphp5.a
+9. cd ../php-NN
- For Apache 1.3.x don't do anything else. Just add this line and then
- run "./Configure" followed by "make".
+10. Now, configure your PHP. This is where you customize your PHP
+ with various options, like which extensions will be enabled. Do a
+ ./configure --help for a list of available options. In our example
+ we'll do a simple configure with Apache 2 and MySQL support. Your
+ path to apxs may differ, in fact, the binary may even be named apxs2 on
+ your system.
- For Apache 1.2.x add:
+ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql
- Module php5_module mod_php5.o
+11. make
+12. make install
- For Apache 1.2.x you will also have to look in the libphp5.module file,
- which was copied to the src directory. The EXTRA_LIBS line in the Apache
- Configuration file needs to be set to use the same libs as specified on
- the LIBS line in libphp5.module. You also need to make sure to add
- "-L." to the beginning of the EXTRA_LIBS line.
+ If you decide to change your configure options after installation,
+ you only need to repeat the last three steps. You only need to
+ restart apache for the new module to take effect. A recompile of
+ Apache is not needed.
- So, as an example, your EXTRA_LIBS line might look like:
+ Note that unless told otherwise, 'make install' will also install PEAR,
+ various PHP tools such as phpize, install the PHP CLI, and more.
- EXTRA_LIBS=-L. -lphp5 -lgdbm -ldb -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient
+13. Setup your php.ini
- NOTE: You should not enclose the EXTRA_LIBS line in double-quotes, as it
- is in the libphp5.module file.
+ cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
- Also, look at the RULE_WANTHSREGEX setting in the libphp5.module file
- and set the WANTHSREGEX directive accordingly in your Configuration file.
- This last step applies to versions of Apache prior to 1.3b3.
+ You may edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer having
+ php.ini in another location, use --with-config-file-path=/some/path in
+ step 10.
- This is a bit of a hassle, but should serve as incentive to move to
- Apache 1.3.x where this step has been eliminated.
+ If you instead choose php.ini-recommended, be certain to read the list
+ of changes within, as they affect how PHP behaves.
- Once you are satisfied with your Configuration settings, type: ./Configure
- If you get errors, chances are that you forgot a library or made a typo
- somewhere. Re-edit Configuration and try again. If it goes well,
- type: make
+14. Edit your httpd.conf to load the PHP module. The path on the right hand
+ side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP
+ module on your system. The make install from above may have already
+ added this for you, but be sure to check.
- Assuming it compiles without errors, proceed to step 4b.
+ For PHP 4:
-4a. Setting up the server. (Dynamic Module)
+ LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
- The make install command in step 3 should have done most of your
- work for you. It actually edits your httpd.conf file and tries to
- enable the dynamic PHP module. To verify this, look for a line that
- looks like this:
+ For PHP 5:
LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so
- The actual path before the libphp5.so part might differ slightly. This
- is likely fine. If you are paranoid you can examine the output from the
- make install step to see where the libphp5.so file was actually put and
- place the full path to this file on this LoadModule line.
-
- If somewhere in your httpd.conf file you have a ClearModuleList line
- then you also need this line:
+15. Tell Apache to parse certain extensions as PHP. For example,
+ let's have Apache parse the .php extension as PHP. You could
+ have any extension(s) parse as PHP by simply adding more, with
+ each separated by a space. We'll add .phtml to demonstrate.
- AddModule mod_php5.c
-
- And finally you need to tell Apache which file extension should trigger
- PHP. You do this by creating a special mime type and associating it
- with an extension. We suggest using:
-
- AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
-
- You are however free to use any extension you wish, including .html.
-
- Note! If a line has a # at the beginning, then it is commented out
- and you need to remove the # for that line to take effect.
-
- Finally you need to copy php.ini-dist to the appropriate place
- (normally /usr/local/lib/php.ini) and edit if necessary.
+ AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
- Once you have made these changes you should be ready to restart your
- server and try it out. Type: apachectl restart
-
-4b. Setting up the server. (Static Module)
-
- You should now have a new httpd binary. Shut down your existing server,
- if you have one, and copy this new binary overtop of it. Perhaps make
- a backup of your previous one first. Then edit your conf/httpd.conf file
- and add the line:
-
- AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
-
- There is also an interesting feature which can be quite instructive and
- helpful while debugging. That is the option of having colour syntax
- highlighting. To enable this, add the following line:
+ It's also common to setup the .phps extension to show highlighted PHP
+ source, this can be done with:
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
- Any file ending in .phps will now be displayed with full colour syntax
- highlighting instead of being executed.
-
- Note that on some older server setups, the AddType lines are in the
- conf/srm.conf file instead of conf/httpd.conf.
-
- Note! If a line has a # at the beginning, then it is commented out
- and you need to remove the # for that line to take effect.
-
- When you are finished making changes to your httpd.conf file, you need
- to copy php.ini-dist to the appropriate place (normally
- /usr/local/lib/php.ini) and edit if necessary. You can then
- start up your server.
-
-5. Testing it all worked
-
- Create a test file named test.php in your web tree somewhere and
- put some test PHP tags in it. <?phpinfo()?> is a good first test.
- This tag tells PHP to do a braindump and tells you all sorts of things
- about itself.

- Correct, depending on the meaning of "relocatable". PIC code typically
- does not contain relocations; that's why its position-independent.
-
- > Just because you don't specify -fPIC doesn't mean that the compiler

-
- Correct. However, a non-trivial shared library typically won't be
- position-independent unless explicitly compiled with
- -fPIC. Linux/glibc indeed does not require a shared library to be
- position-independent; instead, it will perform the relocations in the
- binary, even if they refer to code pages. As a result, those relocated
- pages won't be shared across processes, anymore.

-
-USING PHP 3 AND PHP 4 AS CONCURRENT APACHE MODULES
-
- With some (newer) installations of Apache, it's possible to compile both
- PHP 3 and PHP 4, and run them concurrently.
-
- Note, it's only really wise to do this if you need to use the PHP 3 engine
- to maintain backwards compatibility.
-
- To enable it, configure PHP 3 and PHP 4 to use APXS (--with-apxs) and the
- necessary link extensions (--enable-versioning). Otherwise, all standard
- installations instructions apply. For example:
-
- $ ./configure \
- --with-apxs=/apache/bin/apxs \
- --enable-versioning \
- --with-mysql \
-
-
-
-
-
+16. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server, e.g.:
+
+ /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
+
+ Following the steps above you will have a running Apache 2.0 with
+ support for PHP as SAPI module. Of course there are many more
+ configuration options available for both, Apache and PHP. For more
+ information use ./configure --help in the corresponding source tree.
+ In case you wish to build a multithreaded version of Apache 2.0 you
+ must overwrite the standard MPM-Module prefork either with worker or
+ perchild. To do so append to your configure line in step 6 above
+ either the option --with-mpm=worker or --with-mpm=perchild. Take care
+ about the consequences and understand what you are doing. For more
+ information read the Apache documentation about the MPM-Modules.
+
+ Note: To build a multithreaded version of Apache your system must
+ support threads. This also implies to build PHP with experimental
+ Zend Thread Safety (ZTS). Therefore not all extensions might be
+ available. The recommended setup is to build Apache with the
+ standard prefork MPM-Module.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Caudium
+
+ PHP 4 can be built as a Pike module for the Caudium webserver. Note
+ that this is not supported with PHP 3. Follow the simple instructions
+ below to install PHP 4 for Caudium.
+
+ Example 3-8. Caudium Installation Instructions
+1. Make sure you have Caudium installed prior to attempting to
+ install PHP 4. For PHP 4 to work correctly, you will need Pike
+ 7.0.268 or newer. For the sake of this example we assume that
+ Caudium is installed in /opt/caudium/server/.
+2. Change directory to php-x.y.z (where x.y.z is the version number).
+3. ./configure --with-caudium=/opt/caudium/server
+4. make
+5. make install
+6. Restart Caudium if it's currently running.
+7. Log into the graphical configuration interface and go to the
+ virtual server where you want to add PHP 4 support.
+8. Click Add Module and locate and then add the PHP 4 Script Support module.
+9. If the documentation says that the 'PHP 4 interpreter isn't
+ available', make sure that you restarted the server. If you did
+ check /opt/caudium/logs/debug/default.1 for any errors related to
+ <filename>PHP4.so</filename>. Also make sure that
+ <filename>caudium/server/lib/[pike-version]/PHP4.so</filename>
+ is present.
+10. Configure the PHP Script Support module if needed.
+
+ You can of course compile your Caudium module with support for the
+ various extensions available in PHP 4. See the reference pages for
+ extension specific configure options.
+
+ Note: When compiling PHP 4 with MySQL support you must make sure
+ that the normal MySQL client code is used. Otherwise there might be
+ conflicts if your Pike already has MySQL support. You do this by
+ specifying a MySQL install directory the --with-mysql option.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+fhttpd related notes
+
+ To build PHP as an fhttpd module, answer "yes" to "Build as an fhttpd
+ module?" (the --with-fhttpd=DIR option to configure) and specify the
+ fhttpd source base directory. The default directory is
+ /usr/local/src/fhttpd. If you are running fhttpd, building PHP as a
+ module will give better performance, more control and remote execution
+ capability.
+
+ Note: Support for fhttpd is no longer available as of PHP 4.3.0.

+Sun, iPlanet and Netscape servers on Sun Solaris
+
+ This section contains notes and hints specific to Sun Java System Web
+ Server, Sun ONE Web Server, iPlanet and Netscape server installs of
+ PHP on Sun Solaris.
+
+ From PHP 4.3.3 on you can use PHP scripts with the NSAPI module to
+ generate custom directory listings and error pages. Additional
+ functions for Apache compatibility are also available. For support in
+ current webservers read the note about subrequests.
+
+ You can find more information about setting up PHP for the Netscape
+ Enterprise Server (NES) here:

+
+ To build PHP with Sun JSWS/Sun ONE WS/iPlanet/Netscape webservers,
+ enter the proper install directory for the --with-nsapi=[DIR] option.
+ The default directory is usually /opt/netscape/suitespot/. Please also
+ read /php-xxx-version/sapi/nsapi/nsapi-readme.txt.

+ m4-1_4-sol26-sparc-local
+ make-3_76_1-sol26-sparc-local

+ 2. Make sure your path includes the proper directories
+ PATH=.:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin and make it
+ available to your system export PATH.
+ 3. gunzip php-x.x.x.tar.gz (if you have a .gz dist, otherwise go to
+ 4).
+ 4. tar xvf php-x.x.x.tar
+ 5. Change to your extracted PHP directory: cd ../php-x.x.x
+ 6. For the following step, make sure /opt/netscape/suitespot/ is
+ where your netscape server is installed. Otherwise, change to the
+ correct path and run:
+
+./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
+--with-nsapi=/opt/netscape/suitespot/ \
+--enable-libgcc
+
+ 7. Run make followed by make install.
+
+ After performing the base install and reading the appropriate readme
+ file, you may need to perform some additional configuration steps.
+
+ Configuration Instructions for Sun/iPlanet/Netscape. Firstly you may
+ need to add some paths to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment for the
+ server to find all the shared libs. This can best done in the start
+ script for your webserver. The start script is often located in:
+ /path/to/server/https-servername/start. You may also need to edit the
+ configuration files that are located in:
+ /path/to/server/https-servername/config/.
+
+ 1. Add the following line to mime.types (you can do that by the
+ administration server):
+
+type=magnus-internal/x-httpd-php exts=php
+
+ 2. Edit magnus.conf (for servers >= 6) or obj.conf (for servers < 6)
+ and add the following, shlib will vary depending on your system,
+ it will be something like /opt/netscape/suitespot/bin/libphp4.so.
+ You should place the following lines after mime types init.
+
+Init fn="load-modules" funcs="php4_init,php4_execute,php4_auth_trans" shlib="/o
+pt/netscape/suitespot/bin/libphp4.so"
+Init fn="php4_init" LateInit="yes" errorString="Failed to initialize PHP!" [php
+_ini="/path/to/php.ini"]
+
+ (PHP >= 4.3.3) The php_ini parameter is optional but with it you
+ can place your php.ini in your webserver config directory.
+ 3. Configure the default object in obj.conf (for virtual server
+ classes [version 6.0+] in their vserver.obj.conf):
+
+<Object name="default">
+.
+.
+.
+.#NOTE this next line should happen after all 'ObjectType' and before all 'AddL
+og' lines
+Service fn="php4_execute" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php" [inikey=value inik
+ey=value ...]
+.
+.
+</Object>
+
+ (PHP >= 4.3.3) As additional parameters you can add some special
+ php.ini-values, for example you can set a
+ docroot="/path/to/docroot" specific to the context php4_execute is
+ called. For boolean ini-keys please use 0/1 as value, not
+ "On","Off",... (this will not work correctly), e.g.
+ zlib.output_compression=1 instead of zlib.output_compression="On"
+ 4. This is only needed if you want to configure a directory that only
+ consists of PHP scripts (same like a cgi-bin directory):
+
+<Object name="x-httpd-php">
+ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php"
+Service fn=php4_execute [inikey=value inikey=value ...]
+</Object>
+
+ After that you can configure a directory in the Administration
+ server and assign it the style x-httpd-php. All files in it will
+ get executed as PHP. This is nice to hide PHP usage by renaming
+ files to .html.
+ 5. Setup of authentication: PHP authentication cannot be used with
+ any other authentication. ALL AUTHENTICATION IS PASSED TO YOUR PHP
+ SCRIPT. To configure PHP Authentication for the entire server, add
+ the following line to your default object:
+
+<Object name="default">
+AuthTrans fn=php4_auth_trans
+.
+.
+.
+</Object>
+
+ 6. To use PHP Authentication on a single directory, add the
+ following:
+
+<Object ppath="d:\path\to\authenticated\dir\*">
+AuthTrans fn=php4_auth_trans
+</Object>
+
+ Note: The stacksize that PHP uses depends on the configuration of
+ the webserver. If you get crashes with very large PHP scripts, it
+ is recommended to raise it with the Admin Server (in the section
+ "MAGNUS EDITOR").
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+CGI environment and recommended modifications in php.ini
+
+ Important when writing PHP scripts is the fact that Sun JSWS/Sun ONE
+ WS/iPlanet/Netscape is a multithreaded web server. Because of that all
+ requests are running in the same process space (the space of the
+ webserver itself) and this space has only one environment. If you want
+ to get CGI variables like PATH_INFO, HTTP_HOST etc. it is not the
+ correct way to try this in the old PHP 3.x way with getenv() or a
+ similar way (register globals to environment, $_ENV). You would only
+ get the environment of the running webserver without any valid CGI
+ variables!
+
+ Note: Why are there (invalid) CGI variables in the environment?
+
+ Answer: This is because you started the webserver process from the
+ admin server which runs the startup script of the webserver, you
+ wanted to start, as a CGI script (a CGI script inside of the admin
+ server!). This is why the environment of the started webserver has
+ some CGI environment variables in it. You can test this by starting
+ the webserver not from the administration server. Use the command
+ line as root user and start it manually - you will see there are no
+ CGI-like environment variables.
+
+ Simply change your scripts to get CGI variables in the correct way for
+ PHP 4.x by using the superglobal $_SERVER. If you have older scripts
+ which use $HTTP_HOST, etc., you should turn on register_globals in
+ php.ini and change the variable order too (important: remove "E" from
+ it, because you do not need the environment here):
+variables_order = "GPCS"
+register_globals = On
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Special use for error pages or self-made directory listings (PHP >= 4.3.3)
+
+ You can use PHP to generate the error pages for "404 Not Found" or
+ similar. Add the following line to the object in obj.conf for every
+ error page you want to overwrite:
+Error fn="php4_execute" code=XXX script="/path/to/script.php" [inikey=value ini
+key=value...]
+
+ where XXX is the HTTP error code. Please delete any other Error
+ directives which could interfere with yours. If you want to place a
+ page for all errors that could exist, leave the code parameter out.
+ Your script can get the HTTP status code with $_SERVER['ERROR_TYPE'].
+
+ Another possibility is to generate self-made directory listings. Just
+ create a PHP script which displays a directory listing and replace the
+ corresponding default Service line for
+ type="magnus-internal/directory" in obj.conf with the following:
+Service fn="php4_execute" type="magnus-internal/directory" script="/path/to/scr
+ipt.php" [inikey=value inikey=value...]
+
+ For both error and directory listing pages the original URI and
+ translated URI are in the variables $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and
+ $_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'].
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Note about nsapi_virtual() and subrequests (PHP >= 4.3.3)
+
+ The NSAPI module now supports the nsapi_virtual() function (alias:
+ virtual()) to make subrequests on the webserver and insert the result
+ in the webpage. This function uses some undocumented features from the
+ NSAPI library. On Unix the module automatically looks for the needed
+ functions and uses them if available. If not, nsapi_virtual() is
+ disabled.
+
+ Note: But be warned: Support for nsapi_virtual() is EXPERIMENTAL!!!
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+CGI and commandline setups
+
+ The default is to build PHP as a CGI program. This creates a
+ commandline interpreter, which can be used for CGI processing, or for
+ non-web-related PHP scripting. If you are running a web server PHP has
+ module support for, you should generally go for that solution for
+ performance reasons. However, the CGI version enables users to run
+ different PHP-enabled pages under different user-ids.
+
+ Warning
+
+ By using the CGI setup, your server is open to several possible
+ attacks. Please read our CGI security section to learn how to defend
+ yourself from those attacks.
+
+ As of PHP 4.3.0, some important additions have happened to PHP. A new
+ SAPI named CLI also exists and it has the same name as the CGI binary.
+ What is installed at {PREFIX}/bin/php depends on your configure line
+ and this is described in detail in the manual section named Using PHP
+ from the command line. For further details please read that section of
+ the manual.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Testing
+
+ If you have built PHP as a CGI program, you may test your build by
+ typing make test. It is always a good idea to test your build. This
+ way you may catch a problem with PHP on your platform early instead of
+ having to struggle with it later.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Benchmarking
+
+ If you have built PHP 3 as a CGI program, you may benchmark your build
+ by typing make bench. Note that if safe mode is on by default, the
+ benchmark may not be able to finish if it takes longer then the 30
+ seconds allowed. This is because the set_time_limit() can not be used
+ in safe mode. Use the max_execution_time configuration setting to
+ control this time for your own scripts. make bench ignores the
+ configuration file.
+
+ Note: make bench is only available for PHP 3.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Using Variables
+
+ Some server supplied environment variables are not defined in the
+ current CGI/1.1 specification. Only the following variables are
+ defined there: AUTH_TYPE, CONTENT_LENGTH, CONTENT_TYPE,
+ GATEWAY_INTERFACE, PATH_INFO, PATH_TRANSLATED, QUERY_STRING,
+ REMOTE_ADDR, REMOTE_HOST, REMOTE_IDENT, REMOTE_USER, REQUEST_METHOD,
+ SCRIPT_NAME, SERVER_NAME, SERVER_PORT, SERVER_PROTOCOL, and
+ SERVER_SOFTWARE. Everything else should be treated as 'vendor
+ extensions'.

+Chapter 4. Problems?
+
+Read the FAQ
+
+ Some problems are more common than others. The most common ones are
+ listed in the PHP FAQ, part of this manual.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Other problems
+
+ If you are still stuck, someone on the PHP installation mailing list
+ may be able to help you. You should check out the archive first, in
+ case someone already answered someone else who had the same problem as
+ you. The archives are available from the support page on
+ http://www.php.net/support.php. To subscribe to the PHP installation
+ mailing list, send an empty mail to
+ php-install-subscribe@lists.php.net. The mailing list address is
+ php-install@lists.php.net.
+
+ If you want to get help on the mailing list, please try to be precise
+ and give the necessary details about your environment (which operating
+ system, what PHP version, what web server, if you are running PHP as
+ CGI or a server module, safe mode, etc...), and preferably enough code
+ to make others able to reproduce and test your problem.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Bug reports
+
+ If you think you have found a bug in PHP, please report it. The PHP
+ developers probably don't know about it, and unless you report it,
+ chances are it won't be fixed. You can report bugs using the
+ bug-tracking system at http://bugs.php.net/. Please do not send bug
+ reports in mailing list or personal letters. The bug system is also
+ suitable to submit feature requests.
+
+ Read the How to report a bug document before submitting any bug
+ reports!
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Chapter 5. Runtime Configuration
+
+The configuration file
+
+ The configuration file (called php3.ini in PHP 3, and simply php.ini
+ as of PHP 4) is read when PHP starts up. For the server module
+ versions of PHP, this happens only once when the web server is
+ started. For the CGI and CLI version, it happens on every invocation.
+
+ The default location of php.ini is a compile time option (see the FAQ
+ entry), but can be changed for the CGI and CLI version with the -c
+ command line switch, see the chapter about using PHP from the command
+ line. You can also use the environment variable PHPRC for an
+ additional path to search for a php.ini file.
+
+ If php-SAPI.ini exists (where SAPI is used SAPI, so the filename is
+ e.g. php-cli.ini or php-apache.ini), it's used instead of php.ini.
+
+ Note: The Apache web server changes the directory to root at
+ startup causing PHP to attempt to read php.ini from the root
+ filesystem if it exists.
+
+ The php.ini directives handled by extensions are documented
+ respectively on the pages of the extensions themselfs. The list of the
+ core directives is available in the appendix. Probably not all the PHP
+ directives are documented in the manual though. For a completel list
+ of directives available in your PHP version, please read your well
+ commented php.ini file. Alternatively, you may find the the latest
+ php.ini from CVS helpful too.
+
+ Example 5-1. php.ini example
+; any text on a line after an unquoted semicolon (;) is ignored
+[php] ; section markers (text within square brackets) are also ignored
+; Boolean values can be set to either:
+; true, on, yes
+; or false, off, no, none
+register_globals = off
+track_errors = yes
+
+; you can enclose strings in double-quotes
+include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
+
+; backslashes are treated the same as any other character
+include_path = ".;c:\php\lib"
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+How to change configuration settings
+
+Running PHP as an Apache module
+
+ When using PHP as an Apache module, you can also change the
+ configuration settings using directives in Apache configuration files
+ (e.g. httpd.conf) and .htaccess files. You will need "AllowOverride
+ Options" or "AllowOverride All" privileges to do so.
+
+ With PHP 4 and PHP 5, there are several Apache directives that allow
+ you to change the PHP configuration from within the Apache
+ configuration files. For a listing of which directives are
+ PHP_INI_ALL, PHP_INI_PERDIR, or PHP_INI_SYSTEM, have a look at the
+ table found within the ini_set() documentation.
+
+ Note: With PHP 3, there are Apache directives that correspond to
+ each configuration setting in the php3.ini name, except the name is
+ prefixed by "php3_".
+
+ php_value name value
+ Sets the value of the specified directive. Can be used only
+ with PHP_INI_ALL and PHP_INI_PERDIR type directives. To clear a
+ previously set value use none as the value.
+
+ Note: Don't use php_value to set boolean values. php_flag (see
+ below) should be used instead.
+
+ php_flag name on|off
+ Used to set a boolean configuration directive. Can be used only
+ with PHP_INI_ALL and PHP_INI_PERDIR type directives.
+
+ php_admin_value name value
+ Sets the value of the specified directive. This can not be used
+ in .htaccess files. Any directive type set with php_admin_value
+ can not be overridden by .htaccess or virtualhost directives.
+ To clear a previously set value use none as the value.
+
+ php_admin_flag name on|off
+ Used to set a boolean configuration directive. This can not be
+ used in .htaccess files. Any directive type set with
+ php_admin_flag can not be overridden by .htaccess or
+ virtualhost directives.
+
+ Example 5-2. Apache configuration example
+<IfModule mod_php5.c>
+ php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
+ php_admin_flag safe_mode on
+</IfModule>
+<IfModule mod_php4.c>
+ php_value include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
+ php_admin_flag safe_mode on
+</IfModule>
+<IfModule mod_php3.c>
+ php3_include_path ".:/usr/local/lib/php"
+ php3_safe_mode on
+</IfModule>
+
+ Caution
+
+ PHP constants do not exist outside of PHP. For example, in httpd.conf
+ you can not use PHP constants such as E_ALL or E_NOTICE to set the
+ error_reporting directive as they will have no meaning and will
+ evaluate to 0. Use the associated bitmask values instead. These
+ constants can be used in php.ini
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Changing PHP configuration via the Windows registry
+
+ When running PHP on Windows, the configuration values can be modified
+ on a per-directory basis using the Windows registry. The configuration
+ values are stored in the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP\Per Directory
+ Values, in the sub-keys corresponding to the path names. For example,
+ configuration values for the directory c:\inetpub\wwwroot would be
+ stored in the key HKLM\SOFTWARE\PHP\Per Directory
+ Values\c\inetpub\wwwroot. The settings for the directory would be
+ active for any script running from this directory or any subdirectory
+ of it. The values under the key should have the name of the PHP
+ configuration directive and the string value. PHP constants in the
+ values are not parsed.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+Other interfaces to PHP
+
+ Regardless of how you run PHP, you can change certain values at
+ runtime of your scripts through ini_set(). See the documentation on
+ the ini_set() page for more information.
+
+ If you are interested in a complete list of configuration settings on
+ your system with their current values, you can execute the phpinfo()
+ function, and review the resulting page. You can also access the
+ values of individual configuration directives at runtime using
+ ini_get() or get_cfg_var().
