I have been researching how to install PHP4 on the
RAQ3. I have installed the RPMS from the cobalt site. I ran
phpinfo() and it told me the following about the build:
Configure command: ./configure
'--prefix=/usr' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs'
'--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/conf' '--enable-safe-mode'
'--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-system-regex' '--disable-debug' '--with-zlib'
'--with-gdbm' '--with-db2' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-magic-quotes'
'--enable-track-vars' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm'
'--enable-track-vars' '--with-ftp'
php3.ini file path is set to: /etc/httpd/conf This became useful because it told me where the
'apxs' is located. I got the following message from Rasmus of
PHP:
# That's
the purpose of the --with-apxs build option. As #long as
your
#installed Apache has the mod_so.c module included, you # can do this. Check
#with a 'httpd -l' This is all in the INSTALL file, by the way. -Rasmus On Sat, 24 Jun 2000, Brett C. wrote: > Is there a way to do the same kind of configure described below to add a php module into an existing apache build? I want to add php as a module on a cobalt raq3, but the apache httpd file on the raq3 contains some info pertaining to the machine that my linux redhat at home does not. So I am weary of recompiling apache.
