Question : Install PHP on Apache with AIX OS

Our development team needs PHP installed on are already established Apache webserver. The development environment currently has Apache, Weblogic, PERL, and Java loaded all on an AIX 5.3 OS. However, they now want to add PHP to their dev environment.

I personally know that you need the "so" module switch added, when you orignally compile/install Apache, by executing "./configure --enable-so, then make, and make install". Then to install PHP by running "./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs"

My question:

Is there a way to install PHP to an already established Apache environment? Please let me know the steps or process needed.

Thank you

Answer : Install PHP on Apache with AIX OS

Hi,

unfortunately there is no way to install PHP a posteriori  to an Apache not compiled with "--enable-so" .

You must either recompile apache to statically contain PHP ("--with-php...") or recompile it with "--enable-so" to make it capable of dynamically linking PHP.
