mod_php for apache in Redhat

etfetius · 05-22-2002, 09:26 AM

Hello all,

I have a simple problem. I would like to install mod_php to my Apache in my Redhat 7.2 pc. I use http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net to try and find the rpm for the job.
I use key word: PHP and it finds the basic php packet. If I use the key word: mod_php it founds only very old mod_php packet for redhat 7.

My real question is: Is the mod_php called something else in Redhat or where can I find an up to date mod_php module for Redhat linux?

i would go to www.php.net, download php4.2.0.tar.gz, extract that and then ./configure --with-apache=path/to/apache. this will create a php_module 'libphp4.so' or similar right in the correct position. just follow the install instructions. you have to add 2 lines to your httpd.conf to get it running.
good luck
