Hi All,

I am currently trying to configure PhP on our RaQ3 with MySQL. I have installed the pkg for MySQL and tried many different attempts to install PhP but all have failed.

All I get when trying to run a .php page is the box popping up asking me to save it or open it from location!!

I enclose a pretty much standard help for installing PhP but with no success.

go to any directory /home/sites/home/ will work
type wget http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.0.6.tar.gz&source_site=www.php.net
This will download the latest tar file
when it is done
type gunzip php-4.0.6.tar.gz
then type
tar xvf php-4.0.6.tar
cd to the directory it creates
in that directory
./configure --with-mysql
make
make install

Any help would be much appreciated.

regards

Simon Malings

There's everything you need about Raq3's at these boards. Just search. There's just no point answering the same questions over and over. ;)

Hi M8

thanks for the reply. I have done as it says but I am missing the libphp4.so file. I have a modphp.so which I tried but see here (http://www.orbit-internet.com/php/) for the results!

Can you offer anymore advice on how to get this file installed or am I missing something.

cheers

Simon

^^ bump ^^

I had a missing file to when I treid to start the webserver again.
the file was just in another directory.
Have a look around your server for the file, and have the right path in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for Loadmodule.

In my case the .so was located in /usr/local/php/libs/libphp4.so

cant find the file anywhere so i copied it from a raq4 but now when i try and issue a httpd restart it comes up with :

Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server: libldap.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Lost for ideas but really need to get this running asap

Simon

Finally got it going. found out that the 4.0.6 version php download from php.net is corrupt. when i did a make it bombed out at the end with an error on the libphp4 file so i guess thats why i cant find it. i have installed v4.0.4 which works a dream.

thanks for all ur advice guys.
