How to build PHP 4.3.8 for latest cygwin and apache 1.3
After lots of headbanging and trying to follow Brian Dessent's progress with packaging php for apache, I'd almost given up until I found this gem of a thread on how to build php, as a module, for apache 1.3 on Cygwin, just like in the good old days. I'm sure Brian will do a great job when the package is released properly, but I noticed there were quite a few people who could wait (like me), so here's how to fudge it. The author writes in Japanese, but you can hardly fail to follow his painstakingly clear instructions. http://discypus.jp/pukiwiki/pukiwiki.php?cmd=read&page=Cygwin%2Fapache%2Fphp Some extra notes: - I needed Postgresql support also, and just had to add "--with-pgsql" to the configure phase and a "-lpq" to the libphp4.all.a library creation phase. - Not guaranteed to work with any other options If the author of that page is reading, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. *SALUTE* Andrew ___ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Cygwin and Apache?
I can't believe it. I got some foreign Apache server. It's in Russian and Chinese. Can anyone tell me how to get this crappy Apache Server out of here and direct me to an English version?

Re: Cygwin and Apache?
Thank you Andew. I can't run it as service yet for IIS has control of port 80 at the moment. But when I'm ready to have it (Apache) listening on a different port then I'll be ready thanks to your directions.

Which is what I did and found this: http://www.phpfreaks.com/apache_manual/page/cygwin.html#inst Well I figured Cygwin would install Apache such that with little or no re-configuration on my part it would work. So I just started Cygwin in the bash shell (the default way Cygwin is installed) and typed "httpd" w/o the quotes. The result was that the command httpd was unrecognized. So I went to the directory structure of Cygwin and found that httpd.exe is NOT in C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin but in C:\cygwin\usr\sbin. What have I done wrong? You didn't type /usr/sbin/httpd! :-) But seriously, after you get to that point and have configured your web server to run you probably want it to run all the time, even when you are not logged in. Then you need to add Apache as a service: $ cygrunsrv -I apache -p /usr/sbin/httpd -d "Apache for Cygwin" -f "Apache Web Server running under Cygwin" -a -F The -a -F part tells Apache to do the right thing WRT running as a service. Then start it with $ net start apache Oh and you probably should first add C:\Cygwin\Bin to your Windows system environment variable PATH (I stick it in the front) and reboot your system before doing the net start. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Cygwin and Apache?
I installed the Apache module in Cygwin. All seemed to go fine there. I have used mostly IIS in Windows 2000 but lately started experimenting with Tomcat. Anyway I thought I would try Apache in Cygwin. After the installation I wasn't sure what to do next other then search the Web on "Cygwin Apache." Which is what I did and found this: http://www.phpfreaks.com/apache_manual/page/cygwin.html#inst Well I figured Cygwin would install Apache such that with little or no re-configuration on my part it would work. So I just started Cygwin in the bash shell (the default way Cygwin is installed) and typed "httpd" w/o the quotes. The result was that the command httpd was unrecognized. So I went to the directory structure of Cygwin and found that httpd.exe is NOT in C:\cygwin\usr\local\bin but in C:\cygwin\usr\sbin.
