Installing PHP4, Apache, etc.

Anon

I need 2 install PHP4 and Apache. I downloaded PHP4 but I can’t work it out. I've installed (i think, well i ran the installation program i downloaded) it but I cant find "httpd.conf" or "php.ini" I cant tell if its installed or not, i think not 'cos it dosen't work. Are those files meant to be on the server or on my hard drive or what,this is new for me and I don't get it??

Thanks

grab apache_1.3.19 from httpd.apache.org.

Afterwards, untar the php tarball and configure php with apache.

(./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache)

(btw, the tar sources for apache and php should both be untared in /usr/local)

then, after you've ./configure'd it, do make and make install. If that works out, then go to the apache directory, and do

./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a

Then run make and make install.

If all that works out, then go into your /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf and uncomment the line that says:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Afterwards, start apache again and you're all set! If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.
