Re: [rhn-users] PHP 4.2.3 or above

[Peter Kühnlein <p uni-bielefeld de>]

Hi Edwin,

Now that you have the .tar.gz-File, put it at some suitable place, e.g. /usr/share. you should become root to do that, as well as all the following steps. cd to the place where you have the .tar.gz file and issue the command tar -xzf php-4.3.3.tar.gz . This will create a directory called php-4.3.3 - the place where you should cd to now. You will find a number of README.something documents and an INSTALL document.
If you prefer online documentation from www.php.net, you will also find the docs there: Select "documentation" at the site, and choose your preferred language. You will find end up reading the manual, where there should be some section on installation.

Cordially,
Peter

Hi Peter:

I`ve just to download the php 4.3.3 tar.gz from that site but I can not find the installing instructions for Linux RH.
Sincerely I dont have many experience ìnstalling programs from tar.gz files and I don`t know if you or someone in this list can help me with this installation.

I`d like to install php that would be suitable for working with MySQL support on my Linux box running Apache 1.3.27.

Could you help me to find these instructions or guide me with this installation, please?

Thank you,

EDWIN LIMACHI N.
