PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language. In the beginning it was just a simple guestbook-processor, and it was growing and growing Since Version 3 it is really powerful Webdevelopment-language | ||
--www.php.net |
Since Version 4 PHP capable and robust enough for enterprise webapplications. It is powerful, supports almost all important databases natively, and other through ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity). It a few times faster than ASP on Windows Systems on the same Hardware.
There are other extensions available like APC (Alternative PHP Cache), which speed up processing about 50-400% (depends on the php-code you wrote)
Depending on your needs there are some software to install first. One already installed Software according this document is MySQL, because its needed by mod_auth_mysql.
IMAP means »Internet Mail Application Protocol« and is a substitute for the POP (Post Office Protocol) protocol. It allows to keep all Mails in different folders on the server, which (should) be backed up - Never again lose important email, because your local harddrive crashed

PostgreSQL is a very powerful and fast Database
Like MySQL wonderful for Webapplications. From my Point of view, not as comfortable to handle as MySQL. If your Webapplication performs mostly writes, or you need proofed transaction-capabilities, PostgreSQL is your friend

After installing your httpd.conf is modified by axps. It should now look as follows:
<IfDefine SSL> LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so </IfDefine> |
If you compiled Apache with mod_ssl then the php-module will only be loaded when staring Apache with ssl (apachectl startssl). If you will start Apache without ssl support (but compiled like described in this document) you need to change this:
<IfDefine SSL> LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so </IfDefine> LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so |
Copy the sample php.ini-dist to /usr/local/lib/php.ini
cp /usr/local/php-4.3.0/php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini |
uncomment (remove the # at begin of line) the following lines in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Apache 1.3.27 default httpd.conf does lack of this entries. You have to add them instead of uncommenting

register_globals | ||
---|---|---|
Since PHP Version 4.2.1, »register_globals« are set OFF. This can bring you in problems running PHP-Code not using the $HTTP_GET_VARS methods. To enable register_globals edit the following line in your /usr/local/lib/php.ini:
Please be sure, if you write new software, to use the new methods. Support of old methods will be dropped sooner or later |
Restart Apache by issuing the following command:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart |
