41. Appendix C - Midgard Installation

RPMs for Midgard from http://www.midgard-project.org/download/binaries currently do not include PostgreSQL, and hence you need to install from the source tar ball file .
Download the Midgard source tarball and read the INSTALL.REDHAT file -

bash# cd midgard-lib-1.4beta6 bash# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-mysql=/usr/local --includedir=/usr/include/mysql --with-midgard=/usr/local --with-pgsql=/var/lib/pgsql --includedir=/usr/include/pgsql bash# make bash# make install bash# ldconfig -v | grep -i midga Copy the header files, just in case make install did not do that.. bash# cp *.h /usr/local/include bash# cd ../mod_midgard-1.4beta5c bash# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-mysql=/usr/local --includedir=/usr/include/mysql --with-midgard=/usr --with-pgsql=/var/lib/pgsql --includedir=/usr/include/pgsql bash# make bash# make install #modify apache line to correct /usr/..... bash# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (or it is /etc/apache/httpd.conf) bash# /etc/init.d/apache restart #apache should restart!!! bash# cd ../midgard-php-1.4beta6 bash# ./configure '--with-apxs' '--with-mysql' '--with-pgsql' '--with-midgard' --prefix=/usr/local --with-midgard=/usr/local bash# gvim Makefile And add -I/usr/include/pgsql to INCLUDE variable. Also add $(INCLUDE) to $(APXS) command as below - libphp3.so: mod_php3.c libmodphp3-so.a pcrelib/libpcre.a midgard/libphpmidgard.a -@test -f ./mod_php3.c || test -L ./mod_php3.c || $(LN_S) $(srcdir)/mod_php3.c ./mod_php3.c -@test -f ./mod_php3.c || test -h ./mod_php3.c || $(LN_S) $(srcdir)/mod_php3.c ./mod_php3.c $(APXS) -c -o libphp3.so -I$(srcdir) $(INCLUDE) -I. -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/lib/glib/include -Wl,'-rpath /usr/local/lib' ./mod_php3.c libmodphp3-so.a $(APXS_LDFLAGS) bash# make bash# make install #modify apache line to correct /usr/..... # and add lines like these - LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so AddModule mod_php4.c LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.so <IfModule mod_php4.c> AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4 AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php AddType application/x-httpd-php4-source .phps AddType application/x-httpd-php .php </IfModule> bash# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf (or it is /etc/apache/httpd.conf) bash# /etc/init.d/apache restart #apache should restart!!!

41.1 Testing Midgard PHP Server

To test the installation do this - Create a file in your document root directory. I usually call it info.php and in it put this single line:

<?phpinfo()?>

Then load it up in your browser: http://localhost/info.php
You should see a nice summary page showing all sorts of information about your setup. You probably shouldn't leave this file around on a production server, but for debugging and general info during development, it is very handy.
41.2 Security OpenSSL

You may also need to get the RSA package for to enable SSL encryption from ftp://ftp.deva.net/pub/sources/crypto/rsaref20.1996.tar.Z See also OpenSSL RPM package on Linux cdrom ( http://www.openssl.org
If you do not want the SSL to be enabled (or if you face any problem), then download the source RPM of Apache-Midgard and edit the *.spec file and comment out SSL and rebuild the RPM.
