Install PHP under Rhel 5

There are several conditions that need to be met before installing the PHP software. As follows:

1, RPM-IVH zlib-devel-1.2.3-3.i386.rpm

2, Rpm-ivh libxml2-devel-2.6.26-2.1.2.8.i386.rpm

(The above two packages are in the server directory of the RHEL5.5 installation CD-ROM)

Next, we're going to install PHP.

Note that my MySQL is the RPM package installed, MySQL header file is mysql.h, it is located in the/usr/include/mysql/directory. Also, when installing MySQL, you should install three files, one server, one client, and one devel. The header file mysql.h can only be found after Devel has been installed.

#./configure--prefix=/usr/local/php--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs--with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql/

#make

#make Install

#make Test

Configuring the php.ini File

Because I use this version of php-5.3.8.tar.gz, it will have two files php.ini-development,php.ini-production after decompression.

Copy the Php.ini-development file to the PHP installation directory under/usr/local/php/lib and modify the file name to PHP.ini

Configure the Apache httpd.conf file after installation

in which to join

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so//This module is automatically written to the httpd.conf file when PHP is installed.
AddType application/x-httpd-php. PHP//This need to be manually added

DirectoryIndex index.html Index.html.var index.php

As for if the PHP program is running

Put the PHP program under Htdocs under Apache.

The final reboot of Apache is complete.
