Install php in rhel5

Before installing php software in rhel5, there are several conditions to be met. 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 under the Server directory of the RHEL5.5 installation CD)

Next, we will install PHP.

Note: my mysql is installed in the RPM package, and the mysql header file is mysql. h, which is located in the/usr/include/mysql/directory. Another point is that three files, server, client, and devel, should be installed during mysql installation. The header file mysql. h can be found only after devel is installed.

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

# Make

# Make install

# Make test

Configure the php. ini file

For my php-5.3.8.tar.gz version, two files, php. ini-development and php. ini-production, will be decompressed.

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

Configure the httpd. conf file of apache after installation

Add

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so // This module is automatically written to the httpd. conf file when installing php.
AddType Application/x-httpd-php. php // you need to manually add

DirectoryIndex index.html. var index. php

If you run a php program

Put the php program under htdocs under apache.

Restart apache.
