= Instructions to install PHPMapScript on Fedora Core =

These instructions were sent to mapserver-users by Lindsay C. Blanton:

To get php_mapscript working properly on a Redhat Fedora box, I used the
following steps:

  1.  Download the php-devel rpm from Redhat and install
  2.  Compile mapserver with the --with-php=/usr/include/php option
  3.  Copy mapserv to /cgi-bin
  4.  Copy the php_mapscript.so file into /usr/lib/php4/
  5.  Create a php wrapper script (php.sh) for the php cgi and save it
    into /cgi/bin:
{{{
    #!/bin/bash
    export SCRIPT_FILENAME=$PATH_TRANSLATED
    /usr/bin/php
}}}
  6.  Add the following action handlers for phtml (and/or .php) files in
httpd.conf
{{{
    Action phtml-script /cgi-bin/php.sh
    AddHandler phtml-script .phtml 
}}}
Now apache calls the php cgi for mapscript php files, and the php apache
module is called for everything else.

Hope this helps someone out there using preinstalled Linux
distributions.
