SiC_Goat Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 My university currently provides storage for all IT students on a linux server running php 3.0.12, scary eh? Now is there any way I can take php4.4.4 source and have it run within my personally home dir and use the .htdocs instead of the apache conf file. The server is running apache 1.3.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 No as you need to compile PHP in order to install it, you can not just place it on the server and pray it will work just like that. However I would seriously hammer on to your uni's IT dept. to upgrade Apache and PHP as they are seriously outdated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC_Goat Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well I found out the hard way that tar.gz is an incredible compression as the 5mb archive explodes out into a nice 30mb + directory. As soon as I get my XP disk back I'm planning on tossing Kubuntu onto a second partition and trying CGI and using .htaccess to define the install. I know I can put the php configuration from the httpd.conf into a .htaccess and it will still work on my Win32 install. Too bad I have that ugly 20mb quota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
