This section contains notes and hints specific to installing PHP
on HP-UX systems. (Contributed by paul_mckay at clearwater-it dot co dot

You need gzip, download a binary distribution from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/gzip-1.2.4a/gzip-1.2.4a-sd-10.20.depot.Z
uncompress the file and install using swinstall.
You need gcc, download a binary distribution from
http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/ftp/hpux/Gnu/gcc-2.95.2/gcc-2.95.2-sd-10.20.depot.gz.
uncompress this file and install gcc using swinstall.
You need the GNU binutils, you can download a binary distribution from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/binutils-2.9.1/binutils-2.9.1-sd-10.20.depot.gz.
uncompress this file and install binutils using swinstall.
You now need bison, you can download a binary distribution from
http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ftp/hpux/Gnu/bison-1.28/bison-1.28-sd-10.20.depot.gz,
install as above.
You now need flex, you need to download the source from one of the
http://www.gnu.org mirrors. It is in the non-gnu directory of the ftp
site. Download the file, gunzip, then
tar -xvf it. Go into the newly created flex directory
and run ./configure, followed by
make, and then make install.
If you have errors here, it's probably because gcc etc. are not in your
PATH so add them to your PATH.
Download the PHP and apache sources.
gunzip and tar -xvf them. We
need to hack a couple of files so that they can compile OK.
Firstly the configure file needs to be hacked because it seems to lose
track of the fact that you are a hpux machine, there will be a better
way of doing this but a cheap and cheerful hack is to put
lt_target=hpux10.20 on line 47286 of the configure
script.
Next, the Apache GuessOS file needs to be hacked. Under
apache_1.3.9/src/helpers change line 89 from echo
"hp${HPUXMACH}-hpux${HPUXVER}"; exit 0 to: echo
"hp${HPUXMACH}-hp-hpux${HPUXVER}"; exit 0
You cannot install PHP as a shared object under HP-UX so you must
compile it as a static, just follow the instructions at the Apache
page.
PHP and Apache should have compiled OK, but Apache won't start. you
need to create a new user for Apache, e.g. www, or apache. You then
change lines 252 and 253 of the conf/httpd.conf in
Apache so that instead of
User nobody
Group nogroup |
you have something like
This is because you can't run Apache as nobody under hp-ux. Apache and
PHP should then work.
