OpenACS docs are written by the named authors, and may be edited by
OpenACS documentation staff.</div><p>To be able to use PHP software with AOLserver (and OpenACS), you
have to install PHP with AOLserver support. Get the latest version
from <a class="ulink" href="http://www.php.net" target="_top">www.php.net</a>. For convenience we get version 4.3.4 from a
mirror</p><pre class="screen">
[root root]# <strong class="userinput"><code>cd /usr/local/src</code></strong>

[root php-4.3.4]# <strong class="userinput"><code>make install</code></strong>
</pre><p>Once installed you can enable this by configuring your config
file. Make sure your config file supports php (it should have a php
section with it). Furthermore add <strong class="userinput"><code>index.php</code></strong> as the last element to
your <code class="computeroutput">directoryfile</code>
directive.</p>
