Unpacking Apache

From your home directory,

tar zxfv apache_1.3.9.tar.gz

Applying the ApacheSSL Patches

The first step in applying the SSL patches to the Apache source distribution is to move the ApacheSSL distribution to the directory containing the Apache source files.  From your home directory,

mv apache_1.3.9+ssl_1.37.tar.gz apache_1.3.9

cd apache_1.3.9
tar zxfv apache_1.3.9+ssl_1.37.tar.gz

./FixPatch /usr/local/ssl

 Do you want me to apply the fixed-up Apache-SSL patch for you? [n] yes

Initially Configuring the Apache Source

Apache must have a valid makefile created before we can create the module for PHP, so the configure command must be called twice.  This step creates the initial makefile.  The only parameter that's important to pass to the configure command is the directory Apache should be installed in.  The convention is to install it in a directory named apachessl, located in either the /opt or /usr/local directory depending on your personal preferences and the way your system is configured.  I'm going to use /opt throughout the rest of these instructions - just replace it with whatever you choose.

In the Apache source directory,

./configure --prefix=/opt/apachessl

Unpacking PHP

To unpack the PHP source distribution, return to your home directory and type

cd ~
tar zxfv php-3.0.12.tar.gz

Configuring the PHP Source

To configure PHP for your system, change to the PHP source directory and run the configure command.  If you want to include database support in PHP, run the configure command with the --help parameter to get a list of the arguments to pass to configure for all supported databases.  Usually, it's just two hyphens , with, and the name of the database.  For example, the argument to build in mySQL support is --with-mysql

From your home directory,

cd php-3.0.12
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.9 --enable-track-vars

Compiling and Installing PHP As A Module

From the PHP source directory, type

make
make install

Re-configuring the Apache Source

Change to the Apache source directory and configure Apache for the second time, this time passing it any parameters that you normally would.  Make sure you activate the PHP module.

From your home directory, type

cd apache_1.3.9
./configure --prefix=/opt/apachessl --enable-shared=max --enable-module=all --activate-module=src/modules/php3/libphp3.a --disable-module=auth_db

Compiling and Installing Apache

From the Apache source directory, type

make

make install
