Installing PHP4
There are two different ways to install PHP4 on a Virtual Server. The
best way is to install it as a Dynamic Module. It can also be
installed as a CGI to which PHP4 files are redirected by your Virtual
Server web server.
Dynamic Module Installation
Connect to your Virtual Server via Telnet or SSH
and do the following.
- Upgrade Your Virtual Server Apache
(if you aren't already running Apache 1.3).
- Install the PHP4 dynamic modules on your Virtual Server.
FreeBSD PHP 4.0.0
% vinstall php4-dso
BSD/OS PHP 4.X.X
unavailable
|
NOTE: If your Virtual Server was ordered after Nov 22, 1999, you are likely
running FreeBSD. To find out which O/S your Virtual Server is running, use the
uname command:
% uname
If your Virtual Server is not already running FreeBSD,
Upgrade to a New FreeBSD Virtual Server
today!

The PHP4 configuration file will be created at ~/usr/local/lib/php.ini
instead of ~/usr/local/lib/php3.ini as it was with previous versions
of PHP3.
- Add the following line to the top of your Virtual Server web server configuration file
(~/www/conf/httpd.conf) to dynamically load the PHP4 dynamic module. Substitute the name of the dynamic
module you want to install for
MODULE-NAME.
LoadModule php4_module modules/MODULE-NAME
Currently, these PHP4 dynamic modules are available.

- Make the following additions and modifications to your Virtual Server
web server configuration file (~/www/conf/httpd.conf).
|
NOTE:
If your Virtual Server was configured before Dec 8, 1998 you will need to make
the following additions and modifications in the ~/www/conf/srm.conf file instead. Then,
Restart Your Virtual Server Web Server.
|
- Modify the
DirectoryIndex line so that PHP4
files will be included as directory indices.
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cgi index.html index.htm
- Add the following lines so that all files
with .php, .php3, .php4, and .phtml extensions will be redirected to the PHP4 dynamic module.
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
If you want to run PHP3 and PHP4 concurrently, add the following lines instead of those above.
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
CGI Redirect Installation
Connect to your Virtual Server via Telnet or SSH
and do the following.
- Install the PHP4 software. Use the commands below,
depending upon your Virtual Server O/S to install the basic build of PHP4.
FreeBSD PHP 4.0.0
% vinstall php4
BSD/OS PHP 4.X.X
unavailable
We have made a number of PHP4 CGI builds available. To install a build with features that you
want, use one of the following commands, instead of those above.
FreeBSD PHP 4.0.0
% vinstall php4
% vinstall php4-msql
% vinstall php4-mysql
% vinstall php4-pgsql
BSD/OS PHP 4.X.X
unavailable
The PHP4 configuration file will be created at ~/usr/local/lib/php.ini
instead of ~/usr/local/lib/php3.ini as it was with previous versions
of PHP3.
- Due to Security Issues the PHP4 CGI is installed at ~/usr/local/bin/php. Do
the following to link the PHP4 CGI into your ~/www/cgi-bin directory.
% cd ~/www/cgi-bin
% ln ../../../bin/php php
- Make the following additions and modifications to your Virtual Server
web server configuration file (~/www/conf/httpd.conf).

NOTE:
If your Virtual Server was configured before Dec 8, 1998 you will need to make
the following additions and modifications in the ~/www/conf/srm.conf file instead. Then,
Restart Your Virtual Server Web Server.

- Modify the
DirectoryIndex line so that PHP4
files will be included as directory indices.
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cgi index.html index.htm
- Add the following lines so that all files
with .php, .php3, .php4, and .phtml extensions will be redirected to the PHP4 CGI executable.
