+AOLserver README ($Id$)
+
+To compile PHP 4.0 as a module for AOLserver, you need:
+
+- installed AOLserver 3.1 or later
+ (see the note below for AOLserver 3.0)
+
+NOTE: You should not use this module in production. PHP is not 100% stable
+ yet in threaded mode. To increase reliability enable the Global Lock
+ by removing #define NO_GLOBAL_LOCK in main/main.c. Also don't use
+ php_value as it will lead to races in a sub-system (use an ini file
+ instead).
+
+
+1.) Configuring AOLserver
+
+Read doc/install.txt in the source distribution
+
+It usually boils down to changing the INST/PREFIX variable in
+include/Makefile.global and running make all install.
+
+2.) Configuring PHP
+
+$ ./configure \
+ --with-aolserver=/path/to/installed/aolserver \
+ <other options>
+
+NOTE: If you are still using AOLserver 3.0, you need to retain the
+ AOLserver source code and pass another option to PHP:
+
+ --with-aolserver-src=/path/to/source/distribution
+
+3.) Compiling and Installing PHP
+
+$ make install
+
+4.) Changing nsd.tcl
+
+a) New section
+
+Add a new section to pass options to PHP (required):
+
+ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/module/php"
+
+You can use the following commands in this section:
+
+The 'map' command will cause AOLserver to pass all requests to *.php to
+the PHP module (can be specified multiple times). Example:
+
+ns_param map *.php
+
+The 'php_value "name val"' command assigns the configuration option name
+the value val (can be used multiple times). Example:
+
+ns_param php_value "session.auto_start 1"
+
+b) Enabling PHP
+
+Then enable the PHP module:
+
+ns_section "ns/server/${servername}/modules"
+...
+ns_param php ${bindir}/libphp5.so
+
+
+=============================================================================
+This has been tested with AOLserver release 3.0.
