As of 4.0b3, PHP will require GNU make. - -For the impatient here is a quick set of steps that will build PHP as -an Apache module for Apache 1.3.x with MySQL support. A more verbose -explanation follows. - - -QUICK INSTALL - -$ gunzip -c apache_1.3.x.tar.gz | tar xf - -$ cd apache_1.3.x -$ ./configure -$ cd .. - -$ gunzip -c php-4.0.x.tar.gz | tar xf - -$ cd php-4.0.x -$ ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars -$ make -$ make install - -$ cd ../apache_1.3.x -$ ./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a - (The above line is correct! Yes, we know libphp4.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) -cd ../php-4.0.x -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 - -Installing PHP can be done in four simple steps: - -1. Unpack your distribution file. - - You will have downloaded a file named something like php4xn.tar.gz. - Unzip this file with a command like: gunzip php4xn.tar.gz - - Next you have to untar it with: tar -xvf php4xn.tar - - This will create a php-4.0.x directory. cd into this new directory. - -2. Configure PHP. - - You now have to choose the options you would like. There are quite - a few of them. To see a list, type: ./configure --help - - You can also use the supplied 'setup' script, which will ask you - a series of questions and automatically run the configure script - for you. - - The only options that you are likely to want to use are the ones in - the last section entitled, "--enable and --with options recognized:" - - 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. - - 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. - - 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 - - *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. - -3. Compile and install the files. Simply type: make install - - For the Apache module version this will copy the appropriate files - to the src/modules/php4 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. - - For Apache 1.3b6 and later, you can use the new APACI configuration - mechanism. To automatically build Apache with PHP support, use: - - cd apache_1.3.x - ./configure --prefix=/<path>/apache \ - --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a - make - make install - - If you do not wish to use this new configuration tool, the old - install procedure (src/Configure) will work fine. - - 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. - - For Apache 1.3.x add: - - AddModule modules/php4/libphp4.a - - For Apache 1.3.x don't do anything else. Just add this line and then - run "./Configure" followed by "make". - - For Apache 1.2.x add: - - Module php4_module mod_php4.o - - For Apache 1.2.x you will also have to look in the libphp4.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 libphp4.module. You also need to make sure to add - "-L." to the beginning of the EXTRA_LIBS line. - - So, as an example, your EXTRA_LIBS line might look like: - - EXTRA_LIBS=-L. -lphp4 -lgdbm -ldb -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient - - NOTE: You should not enclose the EXTRA_LIBS line in double-quotes, as it - is in the libphp4.module file. - - Also, look at the RULE_WANTHSREGEX setting in the libphp4.module file - and set the WANTHSREGEX directive accordingly in your Configuration file. - This last step applies to versions of Apache prior to 1.3b3. - - 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. - - 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 - -4. Setting up the server. - - 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/srm.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: - - 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. - - When you are finished making changes to your srm.conf file, you can - start up your server. - -USING PHP3 AND PHP4 AS CONCURRENT APACHE MODULES - - Recent operating systems provide the ability to perform versioning and - scoping. This features make it possible to let PHP3 and PHP4 run as - concurrent modules in one Apache server. - - This feature is known to work on the following platforms: - - - Linux with recent binutils (binutils 2.9.1.0.25 tested) - - Solaris 2.5 or better - - FreeBSD (3.2, 4.0 tested) - - To enable it, configure PHP3 and PHP4 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 \ - --enable-track-vars - - If this also works on your platform or if you know a way to do it, please - report it to our bug database at http://bugs.php.net - |
