As far as *I* know (your milage may vary) as long as Apache has mod so enabled (do a httpd -l, if it lists mod_so.o and...core.o) you should be able to compile php as a DSO (Dynamic module) using apxs. (See apache installation documentation for more information) A simple configure would be (for php) ./configure --with-apxs=path-to-apxs And on from there.. Personally, I've been totally unable to get php v4.1.1 to run on aix. A total failure, I can get it to compile, but apache crashes every time I try to load the php module... If you get it working, PLEASE let the list know (which I will be monitoring)... Hope this helps Jonathan Kaufman "Shawn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 02/28/2002 02:19:42 PM Please respond to "Shawn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: Subject: [PHP-INST] php install when apache already installed I need to have PHP installed on a AIX 4.3.3 machine that already has apache installed 1.3.20 I believe. the instructions for PHP's website for installing as a module seem to assume that you are installing apache at the same time. Do I have to re-compile and install apache to run PHP as a module? Here are the instructions I have. If I dont have to re-compile apache how do these instructions change? 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. ./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. 11. cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini You can edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer this file in another location, use --with-config-file-path=/path in step 8. 12. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and check that these lines are present and not commented out: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so You can choose any extension you wish here. .php is simply the one we suggest. You can even include .html, and .php3 can be added for backwards compatibility. The path on the right hand side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP module on your system. The above statement is correct for the steps shown above. 13. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by use a HUP or USR1 signal.) -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The information in this e-mail, and any attachment therein, is confidential and for use by the addressee only.
