How to install apache.rpm php4.rpm

Anon

I have downloaded the new Redhat7.0. I would like to install apache.rpm php4.rpm and postgesql.rpm together. I can not find instructions for doing this all together. Is there a simple way to do all this together? Where do you get infomation on how to configure the RPMs once they are installed?

Thanks
Isaiah

For php4 you need the module: php4.rpm AND mod_php4.rpm (maybe also mysql_php.rpm (I dont remember the exact name) for mysql - support - maybe there is also a rpm for php-postgesql - Support).

rpm -i apache.rpm
rpm -i php4.rpm
rpm -i mod_php4.rpm
rpm -i postgesql.rpm

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

you can now test php with the file phpinfo.php:

Content of phpinfo.php: <? phpinfo() ?>
There you see the configuration and the supported functions (eg. mysql).

The further configuration / tuning is the same as you would install php with tar/gz - files - but the standard setup is now ready.
But you have the advantage, that the rpm - install configured your webserver completely to support now php.

There is a rpm: php-pgsql 4.0.1pl2 - 9
Do I need this? Is there a website that explains this? After I follow the instructions given, do I need to make any changes to the httpd file?

Thanks again

Yes, that should do it.

If you installed it, then the httpd.conf is modified this way, that the pgsql - Support will be loaded.

you may use
rpm -qip php-pgsql 4.0.1pl2 - 9 ...rpm
to see the informatio on the rpm

or
rpm -qlp php-pgsql 4.0.1pl2 - 9 ... rpm
to see what files are in the rpm

install that rpm and view your phpinfo - file - then you must see the pgsql - support.

Your help has been great. I installed it. My apache server is serving php pages. I then attempted to connect to the Postgresql server (after setting up a database and a table with information)
I got the following error.
Warning:Unable to connect to PostgreSQL server: FATAL 1:SetUserId:user 'apache' is not in 'pg_shadow' in /var/www/html/yam.html on line 4
Waring: Supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL link resource in /var/www/html/yam.html on line 6
Error

I have no experience with Postgres, but did you check the phpinfo - file ? There must be a info regarding Postgres - support enabled. Maybe you can post that part.

With Mysql you have to create a user, which is able to connect to mysql. default is root without password (but only from the local machine). maybe its the same with postgres.

Maybe you want to use phpPgAdmin - completely manage your database from the web.

(I use a similar product for mysql and it works fine.)

Tomorrow I have to install a new Linux server - maybe I have the time to test your config.
