INSTALLING AND TESTING

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

    ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/redhat-6.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
    ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2/i386/
    ftp://rawhide.redhat.com/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/
    http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html

	apache-1.3.12-2
	freetype-1.3.1-5
	gd-1.3-6
	imap-4.7-7
	openldap-1.2.9-6
	postgresql-6.5.3-6 (if using PostgreSQL)
	zlib-1.1.3-6

2)  MySQL RPMs (if using MySQL)

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

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

3)  Horde-customized PHP RPMs

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

	php-3.0.16-2horde6
	php-imap-3.0.16-2horde6
	php-ldap-3.0.16-2horde6
	php-mysql-3.0.16-2horde6 (if using MySQL)
	php-pgsql-3.0.16-2horde6 (if using PostgreSQL)

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.


ISSUES/KNOWN BUGS/MISSING FEATURES

- The latest versions of the IMAP RPMs supplied by RedHat (4.7-5 and
later) have been kerb5erized.  The php-imap RPM does NOT require the IMAP
RPMs to be installed, but if your PHP server is also your IMAP server
and you do install them, you'll need to install the krb5 RPMs as well.

- Also note that if you rebuild the Horde-customized RPMs from the SRPM,
on a box that has the krb5 RPMs installed, the php-imap RPM will end
up kerb5erized also.  The php-imap RPM hasn't been properly updated to
handle this case yet, but should be soon.
