Hi Michiel,
here it is. Put it on your website, if you want to.
One question: I run php4 directly - without phpstub - as described in
the guide. Could this lead to problems? It seem to return the correct
headers. A "php4 < phptest.php" returned:
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2
Content-type: text/html

Introduction
============
This is a step by step guide to setup mathopd (v. 1.3pl7) with php4
support on a linux box. Please do _everything_ as described here. If
you want to change paths, rights or other things, do this after
completing the following steps!

2.4 Starting and stopping mathopd
1 Installing php4
I tested mathopd with php4 support on a debian woody box. On a Debian
system, decide which package to use: php4 (which will install apache
too) or php4-cgi. Both will handle the calls made by mathopd
correctly.
Depending on your distribution decide which packages fit your needs
best.
If you decide to download php4 from www.php.net then ignore the
webserver-specific parameters for ./configure. Just check the
chapter "Quick Install" in the file INSTALL.
2 Setting up mathopd
2.1 Installation
Download mathopd and extract it. In the directory you extracted it to,
do a
make && make install
to have it compiled and installed to /usr/local/sbin.
2.2 A basic configuration file
Now you need a basic configuration file. Save the following to
/etc/mathopd.conf:
# MATHOPD-CONFIG
Umask 026
Tuning {
NumConnections 120
BufSize 12288
}
User daemon
StayRoot Off
PIDFile /tmp/mathopd.pid
Log /tmp/mathopd.log.%Y%m%d
ErrorLog /tmp/mathopd.errors.%Y%m
Control {
Symlinks On
Types {
text/plain { * }
text/css { css }
application/octet-stream { zip rar bz2 gz tgz exe class }
application/futuresplash { spl }
model/vrml { wrl }
application/pdf { pdf }
text/html { html htm }
image/gif { gif }
image/jpeg { jpg }
image/png { png }
}
Specials {
Imagemap { map }
CGI { cgi }
Redirect { url }
}
External {
/usr/bin/perl { pl }
}
External {
# redirect php's to php4 directly
/usr/bin/php4 { php php3 php4 }
}
IndexNames { index.html home.html index.htm redirect.url }
}
DefaultName localhost
Server {
Port 80
# configuration for access from the LAN
# to be able to use the server's hostname only
# (eg. http://koem)
Virtual {
# put your server's hostname here
Host koem
Control {
Alias /
# path where websites reside
Location /usr/local/htdocs
}
}
# configuration for acces from the internet
Virtual {
# put your servers full name here (eg. www.hallo.de)
Host koem.homelinux.net
Control {
Alias /
# path where websites reside
Location /usr/local/htdocs
}
}
}
# END-MATHOPD-CONFIG
Please change the php4-path if necessary and put _your_ hostnames in
the "Server" chapters.
If you need further information for the config file refer to
http://www.mathopd.org/sample.cfg.txt
and
http://www.mathopd.org/config.txt
2.3 Where the files lie...
As can be seen in the config file, the files to be delivered by
mathopd (your website) reside in /usr/local/htdocs and the user who
runs mathopd is named daemon.
Create the /usr/local/htdocs directory and make it readable and
accessible for the user daemon (eg. chmod o+rx /usr/local/htdocs).
Now put your files inside the directory and make them be owned by
daemon (chown -R daemon /usr/local/htdocs/*) and give the appropriate
rights (eg.chmod -R u+rwx /usr/local/htdocs/*).
2.4 Starting and stopping mathopd
Now start mathopd with
mathopd < /etc/mathopd.conf &
and test your installation. If you encounter problems, then check the
log files /tmp/mathopd.log.* and /tmp/mathopd.errors.*
To stop mathopd use something like this:
kill `cat /tmp/mathopd.pid`; rm /tmp/mathopd.pid
