- Get the latest distributions of Apache and PHP.
-
Untar them, and run the configure program on Apache
like so.
./configure --exec-prefix=/usr \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--libexecdir=/System/Library/Apache/Modules \
--iconsdir=/System/Library/Apache/Icons \
--includedir=/System/Library/Frameworks/Apache.framework/Versions/1.3/Headers \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-module=most \
--target=apache
-
If you want the compiler to do some optimization, you may also want to
add this line:
setenv OPTIM=-O2
-
Next, go to the PHP 4 source directory and configure it.
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sysconfdir=/etc \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--with-xml \
--with-apache=/src/apache_1.3.12
If you have any other additions (MySQL, GD, etc.), be sure to add them
here. For the --with-apache string, put
in the path to your apache source directory, for example
/src/apache_1.3.12.
-
Type make and make install. This
will add a directory to your Apache source directory under
src/modules/php4.
-
Now, reconfigure Apache to build in PHP 4.
./configure --exec-prefix=/usr \
--localstatedir=/var \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
--libexecdir=/System/Library/Apache/Modules \
--iconsdir=/System/Library/Apache/Icons \
--includedir=/System/Library/Frameworks/Apache.framework/Versions/1.3/Headers \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-module=most \
--target=apache \
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
You may get a message telling you that libmodphp4.a is
out of date. If so, go to the src/modules/php4
directory inside your Apache source directory and run this command:
ranlib libmodphp4.a. Then go back to the root of the
Apache source directory and run the above configure
command again. That'll bring the link table up to date. Run
make and make install again.
-
Copy and rename the
php.ini-dist file to your
bin directory from your PHP 4
source directory:
cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/bin/php.ini
or (if your don't have a local directory)
cp php.ini-dist /usr/bin/php.ini.
