The mod_php3 Apache Module
|
NOTE: PHP is provided as a legacy feature on FreeBSD Virtual Private Servers. The latest version
of PHP is PHP4. Unless you absolutely require PHP3, we strongly recommend using
the latest version of PHP.

In order to optimize performance on your Virtual Private Server, it is a good idea to select a module with only the
features you need.
-
Check to see if the module you want exists in your ~/www/modules/ directory:
% cd ~/www/modules
% ls
If you don't see the module you want listed there, you can link it in from the system apache modules directory using
the following command:
% ln /usr/local/apache/1.3/modules/module_name ~/www/modules/
-
Add the following line to the top of your web server configuration file (~/www/conf/httpd.conf) to dynamically
load the PHP3 Apache module. Substitute the file name of the Apache module you want to install for
module_name.
LoadModule php3_module modules/FILE-NAME
-
Make the following additions and modifications to your web server configuration file
(~/www/conf/httpd.conf).
-
Modify the DirectoryIndex line so that index.php3 files will be included as directory
indices.
DirectoryIndex index.php3 index.cgi index.html index.htm
-
Add the following lines so that all files with .php3 and .phtml extensions will be redirected to
the PHP3 Apache module.
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .phtml
-
To test your PHP installation, try creating the following ~/www/htdocs/test.php3 document and viewing it in
your web browser.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The phpinfo() function reports the version number, as well as the features that are compiled into PHP
