Thanks for the help! I have a few questions about your
answer:
LYNX METHOD
===========
So for the lynx method, I tried in the .qmail file:
|/usr/bin/lynx -post_data "http://..parser.php";
However, I keep getting the error in my qmail log:
deferral: Your terminal lacks the ability to clear the
screen_or_position_the_cursor./_/
It seems that the terminal needed to be declared so I
then tried this in my .qmail file:
|/usr/bin/lynx -post_data -term=xterm "..parser.php"
However, I still keep getting that terminal curosr
thing error again. Is there anything I can do to fix
this?
CGI PHP
=======
I am currently running PHP as an apache module, so I
don't seem to have an executable on the system. I am
concerned if I install the CGI version of PHP which is
an executable, would that interfere with the PHP
module in apache?
Also, I compiled the PHP as an apache module by using
the following ./configure syntax:
rm config.cache
make clean
./configure --with-mysql=/usr
--with-apxs=/etc/httpd/bin/apxs
--with-curl=/usr/local/lib
make
make install
Now, I understand that I need to remove the paxs=...
part to build PHP as a CGI executable, but I still
need the MySQL and curl support. So is it allright to
leave those options in the ./configure (instead of
doing ./configure only and losing mysql support)?
Also, I am using qmail-inject instead of the standard
sendmail for PHP's mail() function. As a result, I
need to update the php.ini file. How would I do that
if I only copy the php executable to another
directory? would I also have to copy the php.ini file?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Best Wishes.
