Koeller" To: yu music cc: UW Linux Group Subject: Re: Install PHP on UW server In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Heya, Is the tutorial you refer to located at: https://staff.washington.edu/brankoel/installing-php-on-your-ua-account.php ? It was written by Greg Stark, and used to be hosted on his UW web before he left for other parts. A few questions: 1. Are you trying to compile on ovid/vergil or homer/dante? I believe the compile will only work on the web boxes (ovid/vergil). 2. Are you only getting the errors with 'make install'? This should complain about permissions because it tries to put the php binary in places you presumably don't have permission to write to. 3. Are you trying to compile the binary from your public_html directory? This probably won't work because the public_html directories are simlinked to a completely different file system. The compile will probably get very confused about where the libraries are. 4. Would you like a pre-compiled copy of the almost latest binary with gd and mysql support and a copy of the .htaccess and .ini file I use? Hope this helps. Php kicks much bootie. :) -------------------- Brandon Koeller http://koellers.org brandon@koellers.org On Sat, 14 Jul 2001, yu music wrote: |Hi, | |I've seen many people running PHP and MySQL on the UW's student pages, so I |know its possible, but there is no way i can get it to work.
