5. Compiling Apache with PHP 5

Finally, we can start compiling Apache.

# cd ../apache_1.3.34

# ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache \
--activate-module=src/modules/php5/libphp5.a \
--enable-module=so

# make
# make install

When this is done, make sure that files with a php extension are executed by PHP

To httpd.conf , add:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Start Apache:

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
