This section contains notes and hints specific to Netscape and iPlanet installs of PHP, both for Sun Solaris and Windows versions.
You can find more information about setting up PHP for the Netscape Enterprise Server here: http://benoit.noss.free.fr/php/install-php4.html
To build PHP with NES or iPlanet web servers, enter the proper install directory for the --with-nsapi = DIR option. The default directory is usually /opt/netscape/suitespot/. Please also read /php-xxx-version/sapi/nsapi/nsapi-readme.txt.
Firstly you may need to add some paths to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment for Netscape to find all the shared libs. This can best done in the start script for your Netscape server. Windows users can probably skip this step. 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/.

If you are running Netscape Enterprise 4.x, then you should use the following:

To Install PHP as CGI (for Netscape Enterprise Server, iPlanet, perhaps Fastrack), do the following:
Copy php4ts.dll to your systemroot (the directory where you installed windows)
Make a file association from the command line. Type the following two lines:
assoc .php=PHPScript ftype PHPScript=c:\php\php.exe %1 %* |
In the Netscape Enterprise Administration Server create a dummy shellcgi directory and remove it just after (this step creates 5 important lines in obj.conf and allow the web server to handle shellcgi scripts).
In the Netscape Enterprise Administration Server create a new mime type (Category: type, Content-Type: magnus-internal/shellcgi, File Suffix:php).
Do it for each web server instance you want php to run
More details about setting up PHP as a CGI executable can be found here: http://benoit.noss.free.fr/php/install-php.html
To Install PHP as NSAPI (for Netscape Enterprise Server, iPlanet, perhaps Fastrack, do the following:
Copy php4ts.dll to your systemroot (the directory where you installed windows)
Make a file association from the command line. Type the following two lines:
assoc .php=PHPScript ftype PHPScript=c:\php\php.exe %1 %* |
In the Netscape Enterprise Administration Server create a new mime type (Category: type, Content-Type: magnus-internal/x-httpd-php, File Suffix:php).
Stop your web service and edit obj.conf. At the end of the Init section, place these two lines (necessarily after mime type init!):
Init fn="load-modules" funcs="php4_init,php4_close,php4_execute,php4_auth_trans" shlib="c:/php/sapi/php4nsapi.dll" Init fn="php4_init" errorString="Failed to initialise PHP!" |
In The < Object name="default" > section, place this line necessarily after all 'ObjectType' and before all 'AddLog' lines:
Service fn="php4_execute" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php" |
At the end of the file, create a new object called x-httpd-php, by inserting these lines:
<Object name="x-httpd-php"> ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php" Service fn=php4_execute </Object> |
Restart your web service and apply changes
Do it for each web server instance you want PHP to run
