How to install php3 on a UNIX system

How to install php3 # cd/usr/src on a UNIX system
# Tar xvzf apache_1.3.6.tar.gz (generate the apache_1.3.6 directory)
# Tar xvzf php-3.0.8.tar.gz (generate php-3.0.8 directory)
# Cd apache_1.3.6
#./Configure -- prefix =/usr/local/apache (set the Apache installation directory to/usr/local/apache)
# Cd php-3.0.8
#./Configure -- with-mysql =/usr/local/mysql \
-- With-apache = ../apache_1.3.6 \
-- Enable-track-vars (the configuration supports MySQL, is used as the Apache function module, and the tracking variable is valid)
# Make; make install
In the configure parameter above, specify to enable PHP to support MySQL and provide the installation path of MySQL.
Then, edit the Apache configuration file:
# Cd/usr/local/apache/conf
# Vi httpd. conf
Locate "AddType application/x-httpd-php3. php3" and remove the # comment mark before the row.
Of course, you can also add a line of AddType application/x-httpd-php3. asp so that it is easier to edit with FrontPage.
Copy the php. ini file to the/usr/local/lib/directory:
# Cd ../php-3.0.8
# Cp php3.ini-dist/usr/local/lib/php3.ini
You can modify the configuration file to customize the work details of PHP3, for example:
Upload_max_filesize = 2097152; 2 Meg default limit on file uploads
To limit the maximum size of uploaded files to 2 MB.
