[PHP3] Re: Apache/PHP3 in a nutshell, was: [PHP3] RedHat 5.2/PHP install trouble? From: Andrew Chen (achen <email protected>)
Date: 01/01/99

Ah. That's kind of a chicken and the egg problem then, isn't it?

Try:
rpm -Uf php3
first. This has a high probability of not working, since I'm not sure that
you can use the "f" flag with the uninstall package option.

That might do it. Or try to install it with
rpm -Uvhf php3

That will force an install, I think. Then again, I might be wrong. I'm
actually using Debian GNU/Linux (which by the way has a much more advanced
packaging system, which might interest you since Redhat seems to have some
shortcomings -- and this is from a former Redhat user).

Anyway, if you want to go the tar.gz path, this is what you do:

www.apache.org
Go and download a apache-1.3.3.tar.gz off their site (just look for a
download button or look for a pointer to an ftp site). Then extract it. If
you're shaky with tar, then just use: tar zxf apache-1.3.3-tar.gz and that
should extract into a child directory. Do this under /usr/local/src for
added convenience.

then go to www.php.net and look for the source. It's under downloads,
"Download the source code and Windows distribution." Then, read all the
docs and compile. Lucky for you, I actually explained this in brief to a
friend of mine. The message is below. This is assuming that the tree looks
like this:

/usr/local/src
               -> php3[whatever]
               -> apache[whatever]

Also, I think you need to something with the ./configure for php3 like:

./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.3

or something similar. At least read the README before following my
instructions. Anyway, on with the instructions.

Anyway, that should do it. You should probably read all the documentation
first, (or very soon after) you install this though. It's on their page,
just browse the HTML manual and read the first few chapters-- it's pretty
thorough about what to do.

Good luck, and don't get too mad at Redhat for making kind of a dumb
packaging system.

PS. My friends here are telling me to get the hell off the computer so
they can get drunk and scream at the little ball dropping. I'll answer any
questions (or respond to any corrections) in the morning.. that is, if I
can get up :) See you all later, and happy new year!
