NOTE:  This file describes the process of installing a Horde-customized
version of PHP using RedHat RPM packages, in preparation for installing
Horde/IMP.  This document will not help you compile and install PHP
manually; please consult the PHP documentation in that case.


INSTALLING

These Horde-customized PHP RPMs have been tested with RedHat 6.1 and 6.2.
They require several other (prerequisite) RPMs; all RPMs mentioned in
this document can be found at ftp://ftp.horde.org/pub/RPMS/, but the
authoritative site is also listed for reference.

1)  RedHat RPMs

    [** NOTE that more recent Rawhide RPMs (such as imap-4.7-9) are
    packaged in RPM v4 format and WILL NOT install properly on RedHat
    6.x systems.  RPM v4 is still "bleeding edge" so I recommend you
    stick with the versions listed below, until things settle down.
    I learned this the hard way.  :-)  6/15/2000 BJN]

    ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
    ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/
    ftp://ftp.sunsite.org.uk/Mirrors/ftp.redhat.com/pub/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
    http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html

    a)  Required:

	apache-1.3.12-2
	freetype-1.3.1-5

    b)  Optional, if the Horde/IMP web server will also be:

	imap-4.7-7                (...an IMAP server)
	krb5-configs-1.1.1-21     (...an IMAP server)
	krb5-libs-1.1.1-21        (...an IMAP server)
	openldap-1.2.10-4         (...an OpenLDAP server)
	postgresql-6.5.3-6        (...a PostgreSQL server)

2)  MySQL RPMs (only if using the MySQL database)

    ftp://ftp.mysql.org/pub/mysql/Downloads/MySQL-3.22/

    a)  Required:

	MySQL-client-3.22.32-1
	MySQL-shared-3.22.32-1

    b)  Optional, if the Horde/IMP server will also be:

	MySQL-3.22.32-1           (...a MySQL server)

3)  Horde-customized PHP RPMs

    ftp://ftp.horde.org/pub/RPMS/i386/

    a)  Required:

	php-3.0.16-5horde7
	php-imap-3.0.16-5horde7

    b)  Optional

	php-ldap-3.0.16-5horde7   (if using OpenLDAP)
	php-mysql-3.0.16-5horde7  (if using MySQL)
	php-pgsql-3.0.16-5horde7  (if using PostgreSQL)

    (The old mod_php-* RPMs are no longer needed; they are obsoleted by
    these new php-* RPMs.)


TESTING

To test the RPMs, create a file called /home/httpd/html/phpinfo.php3 with
the following line in it:

	<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then use a web browser to access the page at:

	http://(your site)/phpinfo.php3

You should see that IMAP, LDAP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. support is loaded.
