For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training. We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.
Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!
I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here)) |
Quick Summary - PHP installation
For Course Delegates - a quick reminder of the crucial commands. The numbers alongside the commands are just the history numbers!
As your regular user:
1012 tar xzf bristol/php-5.2.5.tar.gz
1013 cd php-5.2.5/
1015 vi INSTALL
1027 ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/httpd_2.2.10/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
1028 make
1030 make test
Then as root:
1001 cd /home/trainee/php-5.2.5
1002 make install
1004 cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini
1006 cd /usr/local/httpd_2.2.10/conf/
1007 vi httpd.conf
1008 cd ..
1009 ./bin/apachectl stop
1010 ./bin/apachectl start
In that vi ... add to end of httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
To test ... add something like
It is the year <?php print(date("Y")) ; ?> !!
to an existing web page, change it to a .php, and check that it runs
Notes
a) Apache httpd needs to be built first and with --enable-so option (big catch this one if you have installed Apache hhtpd and simply followed the Apache httpd instructions!)
b) MySQL needs to be unpacked too, to provide header files
c) Directory names and release numbers are the ones I was using yesterday - they'll vary for your own systems of course! (written 2008-12-12, updated 2008-12-11)
