'''Installing Apache w/ PHP Support.
'''

== Opening Comments ==

The reason for this Article is for those of you who want to install Media-Software (such as [http://www.oxyl.de Oxyl~box]), where no MySQL is required. This is a good way of saving precious resources on the Linkstation! 
'''LAP''' (or '''L.A.P.''') is basically '''[[w:LAMP (software bundle)|LAMP]]''' (or '''L.A.M.P.''') '''without''' MySQL. LAP refers to a set of [[w:free software|free software]] programs commonly used together to run dynamic [[w:Web site|Web site]]s or [[w:Server (computing)|server]]s:
*[[w:Linux|'''L'''inux]], the [[w:operating system|operating system]];
*[[w:Apache HTTP Server|'''A'''pache]], the [[w:Web server|Web server]];
*[[w:PHP|'''P'''HP]] [[w:scripting language|scripting/programming language]].

Apache, along with PHP, is very straight forward to install on a stock LinkStation 1 or Linkstation HG with the OpenLink firmware installed. If you have experience with building these packages, or compiling in general, it is a snap. If you have little or no experience in such matter, just follow the guide -- everything is reversible.

If you have not already done so, visit the [[Projects/OpenLink | Openlink]] section and follow the instructions for installing the telnet enabled firmware. You will also need to download and install the [http://downloads.linkstationwiki.net/development_tools/ppc-tools-2.tgz PPC Tools] before continuing.

== A Remark on "--prefix" ==

The prefix argument, which you will see in every section below, allows you to install Unix packages to alternate locations. This is very important is the case of the LinkStation since all three packages take over 75 megs to install. You will not be able to install these packages to your root partition and doing so would be very bad.

I chose to create an "opt" directory under "/mnt/" to install each of these packages too, using a separate directory for each. This was done to keep the packages separated and easy to manage in the future. You may, of course, alter your install locations in any way but, if you are new to this, I suggest following my example.

It's also a good idea to create a directory to download stuff when using wget, lets use /mnt/misc

==Update Grep==
The first step is to update grep. This step is complicated, so be careful.
*Firstly, download the latest version of grep (in my example the grep-2.5.1a version) from the [http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/grep.html GNU Project].
*Then extract the tarball and move to the new grep directory. Use the following commands:
cd /mnt/misc
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-2.5.1a.tar.gz
tar -zxvf grep-2.5.1a.tar.gz
cd grep-2.5.1a

*Next, configure the makefile with this command:
./configure
make
make install

'''DO NOT UNINSTALL OLD VERSION OF GREP!!!''': Certain programs still depend on this version and you will possibly loose terminal access to the Linkstation if you do.

== Installing Apache 1.3.xx ==

Apache itself is the next install. If you are not planning on installing PHP, you may ignore the "--enable-module=so" attribute below.

I decided to install Apache 1.3 because I thought it woulduse less system-resources than Apache 2. Installing Apache 2 would be very similar and the following instructions can be easily adapted by reading the INSTALL document in the Apache 2 tarball.

cd /mnt/misc

Download the latest version of Apache 1.3 from http://www.apache.org (1.3.37, at the time of this edit).

<nowiki>wget http://mirrorspace.org/apache/httpd/apache_1.3.37.tar.gz</nowiki>
tar -zxvf apache_1.3.37.tar.gz
cd apache_1.3.37

./configure --prefix=/mnt/opt/apache --enable-module=so
make
make install

You should get this message -

+--------------------------------------------------------+
| You now have successfully built and installed the |
| Apache 1.3 HTTP server. To verify that Apache actually |
| works correctly you now should first check the |
| (initially created or preserved) configuration files |
| |
| /mnt/opt/apache/conf/httpd.conf
| |
| and then you should be able to immediately fire up |
| Apache the first time by running: |
| |
| /mnt/opt/apache/bin/apachectl start
| |
| Thanks for using Apache. The Apache Group |
| <nowiki>http://www.apache.org/</nowiki> |
+--------------------------------------------------------+

You will, at the very least, need to change your port to 81 (or some other port).

vi /mnt/opt/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Search for '80' -- change it to '81' (or some other port).

I also suggest changing the root directory to the files to "/mnt/hda/share/www" so you can have easy access to them over the Samba share. Search for 'DocumentRoot' and change the first reference (roughly line 288) to the above path. Search again and you will find another reference to change (around line 313).

Finally, start the server.

/mnt/opt/apache/bin/apachectl start

Copy that start up script to /etc/init.d and include in startup shutdown

cp /mnt/opt/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/init.d

ln -s /etc/init.d/apachectl /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99apachectl
ln -s /etc/init.d/apachectl /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K92apachectl
ln -s /etc/init.d/apachectl /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K92apachectl

*''' TODO: Flush out the config file editing instructions.'''

== Installing PHP ==

Last we will set up PHP. I decided to install the latest version of PHP4 because, again, this is what my web host uses. You may decide to install PHP5, which would requires only 1 slightly different step below.

'''IMPORTANT'''

Pay special attention to the 'configure' command below. If you installed the above packages to an alternate location you will need to update the paths in the proper attribute.

cd /mnt/misc

Download the latest version of PHP4 from http://www.php.net (4.4.2, at the time of this edit).

<nowiki>wget http://uk2.php.net/get/php-4.4.2.tar.bz2/from/uk.php.net/mirror</nowiki>

or you can download the 4.4.3 version here

<nowiki>wget http://uk2.php.net/get/php-4.4.3.tar.bz2/from/uk.php.net/mirror</nowiki>

It may download as a file called 'mirror' if so
mv mirror php-4.4.2.tar.bz2

bunzip2 php-4.4.2.tar.bz2

tar -xvf php-4.4.2.tar
cd php-4.4.2

This is all one command and should be input on one line

./configure --prefix=/mnt/opt/php4 --with-apxs=/mnt/opt/apache/bin/apxs
--with-config-file-path=/mnt/opt/php4/lib

If you're wanting swisscenter you need to

./configure --prefix=/mnt/opt/php4 --with-apxs=/mnt/opt/apache/bin/apxs
--with-zlib --with-zlib-dir --with-gd --enable-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local
--with-png-dir=/usr/local --with-config-file-path=/etc --enable-mbstring

Should get this

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

make

You will get a message

Build complete.
(It is safe to ignore warnings about tempnam and tmpnam).

Then to finish

make install

Copy over the default config file.

'''IMPORTANT'''

If you altered the "--with-config-file-path" attribute, above, you will need to change the below command to copy to the appropriate path.

cp php.ini-dist /mnt/opt/php4/lib

Open up apache's conf file and verify that the following line is included:

vi /mnt/opt/apache/conf/httpd.conf

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so (for PHP4)
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp5.so (for PHP5)

If it is not, add it. Also add the following two lines just below the LoadModule command:

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

Restart Apache and PHP should now be working.

/etc/init.d/apachectl restart
