There are two different ways to install PHP4
on a Virtual Private Servers. The best way is to install the mod_php4
Apache Module. It can also be installed as a CGI to which
PHP4 files are redirected by your Virtual Private Servers web server.

| Installation
| |
Connect to your Virtual Private Servers via Telnet
or SSH and do the following.
-
Install the PHP4 CGI by doing the following, according to
your Virtual Private Servers O/S:
-
FreeBSD
& Solaris
PHP 4.3.4
Run the following command, substituting a version of PHP4
for PHP4_VERSION:
% vinstall PHP4_VERSION
These versions of PHP4 are available:
php4 php4-mysql php4-pgsql php4-msql
-
Due to Security
Issues the PHP4 CGI is installed at ~/usr/local/bin/php.
Do the following to link the PHP4 CGI into your ~/www/cgi-bin
directory.
% cd ~/www/cgi-bin
% ln ../../../bin/php php
-
Make the following additions and modifications to your Virtual
Private Servers web server configuration file (~/www/conf/httpd.conf).
-
Modify the DirectoryIndex
line so that PHP4 files will be included as directory indices.
DirectoryIndex
index.php index.php4 index.php3 index.cgi index.html index.htm
-
Add the following lines so that all files with .php,
.php3, .php4, and .phtml extensions
will be redirected to the PHP4 CGI executable.
Action php4-script /cgi-bin/php
AddHandler php4-script .php .php3 .php4 .phtml
-
To test your PHP installation, try creating the following
~/www/htdocs/test.php4 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.
