FC4 and PHP4?

MonteCarloNOS · #1 22nd June 2005, 03:19 AM

Is there anyway to get php4 on FC4? I am having many compatibility issues with php5. I have tried a php4 rpm, but when it executes it installs php5. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I use XAMPP it works great except you have to setenforce 0 for SElinux until you allow XAMPP to run through SElinux ...I have not done so yet. I was up and running in 2 hours. You might consider uninstalling all of the stuff that XAMPP comes with ...just remember all the configuration you have done already

Thank you. Everything works great. I have never heard of XAMPP but it was easy to install and transfer my files over.

How do you have SELinux configured with XAMPP? Everytime SELinux is enabled, I get error 127 outa XAMPP. Any fixes for this?

PHP installation is quite easy
just uninstall php 5 with rpm -e and then put php4

What is the problem with this?

You may need to change a few config files to put it in effect, but that is very easy.

no fix yet, I'll have time to look into the matter over the next two weeks, but it looks as though SElinux blocks XAMPP because it is not running PHP or Apache etc... with httpd and so on, so for I've been setting SElinux as passive everytime my server restarts. http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/papers/policy2/x750.html <--this is a link to what I have to do, I am not sure if Apachefriends is pursuing a talk with SElinux to "registar" XAMPP as an option to allow as you can do with httpd ...I'm not even sure if I am speaking all of this properly.

Sorry, I believe it would be RedHat not SElinux, it's just not in the nice gui settings for Security Level Configuration ...I wonder if there is a way to hand do it?
