php

• download the source from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

Install apache2 first.

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/man --infodir=/usr/local/info --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --disable-cli

make

sudo make install

The apache configuration files should automatically be modified. If not, make sure you have the following in httpd.conf:

# this line should already have been added by the php install process
LoadModule php5_module        modules/libphp5.so

AddHandler php5-script php

Start or restart apache, make a php page with the following to test the installation and configuration:

<?php

echo phpinfo();

?>
