Configuration Instructions for Sun/iPlanet/Netscape. Firstly you may need to add some paths to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment for the server to find all the shared libs. This can best done in the start script for your webserver. The start script is often located in: /path/to/server/https-servername/start. You may also need to edit the configuration files that are located in: /path/to/server/https-servername/config/.

1. Add the following line to mime.types (you can do that by the administration server):

   type=magnus-internal/x-httpd-php exts=php

2. Edit magnus.conf (for servers >= 6) or obj.conf (for servers < 6) and add the following, shlib will vary depending on your system, it will be something like /opt/netscape/suitespot/bin/libphp4.so. You should place the following lines after mime types init.

   Init fn="load-modules" funcs="php4_init,php4_execute,php4_auth_trans" shlib="/opt/netscape/suitespot/bin/libphp4.so" Init fn="php4_init" LateInit="yes" errorString="Failed to initialize PHP!" [php_ini="/path/to/php.ini"]

   (PHP >= 4.3.3) The php_ini parameter is optional but with it you can place your php.ini in your webserver config directory.

3. Configure the default object in obj.conf (for virtual server classes [version 6.0+] in their vserver.obj.conf):

   <Object name="default"> . . . .#NOTE this next line should happen after all 'ObjectType' and before all 'AddLog' lines Service fn="php4_execute" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php" [inikey=value inikey=value ...] . . </Object>

   (PHP >= 4.3.3) As additional parameters you can add some special php.ini-values, for example you can set a docroot="/path/to/docroot" specific to the context php4_execute is called. For boolean ini-keys please use 0/1 as value, not "On","Off",... (this will not work correctly), e.g. zlib.output_compression=1 instead of zlib.output_compression="On"

4. This is only needed if you want to configure a directory that only consists of PHP scripts (same like a cgi-bin directory):

   <Object name="x-httpd-php"> ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php" Service fn=php4_execute [inikey=value inikey=value ...] </Object>

   After that you can configure a directory in the Administration server and assign it the style x-httpd-php. All files in it will get executed as PHP. This is nice to hide PHP usage by renaming files to .html.

5. Setup of authentication: PHP authentication cannot be used with any other authentication. ALL AUTHENTICATION IS PASSED TO YOUR PHP SCRIPT. To configure PHP Authentication for the entire server, add the following line to your default object:

   <Object name="default"> AuthTrans fn=php4_auth_trans . . . </Object>

6. To use PHP Authentication on a single directory, add the following:

   <Object ppath="d:\path\to\authenticated\dir\*"> AuthTrans fn=php4_auth_trans </Object>
