php3 install on redhat 7

Anon

I have a Redhat 7 running with php4 and mysql installed and working properly. I now need to install php3 to make some older programs work. I've got the source code - php3.0.18
Then
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin --enable-track-vars
I get an Warning - Your /usr/local/apache/bin script is most likely broken.
??? What's up with that!

And when I go to make, it won't.

Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks

You do not need to install php3, php4 will run php3 files. Make sure that apache http.conf file recognizes the php3 extension.

Why then would php4 files work and all I get is printed code with php3 files? (I actually view the code on the web page)

I've added index.php3 to mod_dir.c in httpd.conf.

Am I missing something else?

check your http.conf file to make sure you have the following line added:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3

if its not add it and save.. without that the php file will not be run by apache as a php file, but as a text file.. and you will see the source rather than the program you intended. The above line is telling apache to recognize .php3 as a php file i have my system set up so that a .php3 file is run through the server, and a .php file allows the user to view the source of a few files i have available to view...

I uncommented the AddType application for php3 in httpd.conf as suggested, and I'm still only seeing text.

You don't need the php3 source for this to work?
