PHP3 CGI

bullet Introduction
on a Virtual Private Servers. The best way is to install the mod_php3 Apache Module. It can also be installed as a CGI to which PHP3 files are redirected by your Virtual Private Servers web server.

NOTE: The latest version of PHP is PHP4.

 

bullet Installation
To install the PHP3 CGI, connect to your Virtual Private Servers via Telnet or SSH and do the following.
  1. Install the PHP3 CGI by doing the following, according to your Virtual Private Servers O/S:

    • FreeBSD PHP 3.0.18
      Run the following command, substituting a version of PHP3 for PHP3_VERSION:

      % vinstall PHP3_VERSION
      

      These versions of PHP3 are available:

      php     php-mysql     php-pgsql     php-msql
      

    • Solaris
      PHP3 is unavailable. Try PHP4.

  2. Make the following additions and modifications to your Virtual Private Servers web server configuration file (~/www/conf/httpd.conf).

    1. Modify the DirectoryIndex line so that index.php3 files will be included as directory indices.

      DirectoryIndex index.php3 index.cgi index.html index.htm
      

    2. Add the following lines so that all files with .php3 and .phtml extensions will be redirected to the PHP3 CGI executable.

      AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
      AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
      Action  application/x-httpd-php3 /cgi-bin/php
      

  3. To test your PHP installation, try creating the following ~/www/htdocs/test.php3 document and viewing it in your web browser.

    <HTML>
    <BODY>
    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    

    The phpinfo() function reports the version number, as well as the features that are compiled into PHP.
