Install PHP for use in AOLserver

To be able to use PHP software with AOLserver (and OpenACS), you have to install PHP with AOLserver support. Get the latest version from www.php.net. For convenience we get version 4.3.4 from a mirror
[root root]# cd /usr/local/src
[root src]# wget http://de3.php.net/distributions/php-4.3.4.tar.gz
[root src]# tar xfz php-4.3.4.tar.gz
[root src]# cd php-4.3.4
[root php-4.3.4]# cd php-4.3.4
-[root php-4.3.4]# ./configure --with-aolserver=/usr/local/aolserver/ --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pg74 --without-mysql
+[root php-4.3.4]# ./configure --with-aolserver=/usr/local/aolserver/ --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --without-mysql
[root php-4.3.4]# make install
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 index.php as the last element to your directoryfile directive.
