Adding PHP Support

On Windows On MacOS X On Linux Adding PHP 5
support on Windows

Overview
Abyss Web Server supports all PHP releases including all the PHP 4.x.x and PHP 5.x.x versions.

On Windows
Important note If you plan to install PHP 5 on Windows, we highly recommend using our preconfigured PHP 5 package instead of following the generic PHP setup instructions below. It is easier, faster, and less error prone. Download and install PHP Download PHP for Windows from http://www.php.net/downloads.php and install it. We recommend using the Windows installer version of PHP if you are new to web serving and PHP. If you are asked during the installation of PHP about the type of your web server, choose None (or other web server), I will configure the web server manually and proceed. Declare the interpreter Open Abyss Web Server's console. In the Hosts table, press Configure in the row corresponding to the host to which you want to add PHP support. If there is no Hosts table in the main screen of your console, this means that you are using an old version of Abyss Web Server. Please upgrade to the latest version before proceeding. Upgrading is free, straightforward, and preserves your current server configuration. Click here to download the latest version. Select Scripting Parameters. Check Enable Scripts Execution. Press Add in the Interpreters table. If you are using Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003, or later, set Interface to . If you are using Windows 95, 98, or ME, set Interface to as PHP does not support the FastCGI interface on these old operating systems. Note that if you do not find an Interface field, you can ignore this step and continue with the following instructions. The absence of the Interface field means that your Abyss Web Server X1 and X2 version number is less than 2.3. If this is the case, we strongly recommend to upgrade to the latest version to benefit from the FastCGI performance boost. If after adding PHP support, your PHP scripts refuse to run and report

Support for ftp, iconv, mbstring, GD2, PDO, SQLite, MySQL, and MySQLi is also turned on by default. The package runs on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh computers powered by Mac OS X 10.4 and later. It was built for your convenience by Aprelium and uses by default as its configuration file. If you have an old version of Mac OS X, you can still use the legacy PHP 5.2.2 package for Mac OS X (13.6 MB) which runs on both PowerPC and Intel-based Macintosh computers powered by Mac OS X 10.2.8 and later.
