The RPMs for PHP3 is php-*.rpm. There's about 5 seperate PHP3 RPMs
depending on what components you want to install. The PHP/FI (PHP2) RPM is
phpfi-*.rpm. Just 'rpm -ivh' those RPMs to get it going. You'll of course
have to have Apache installed first and stuff like that.

The RPMs should take care of setting up Apache's config files, but if they
don't you'll need to add the following lines to your
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file:

LoadModule php3_module          modules/libphp3.so
AddModule mod_php3.c

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps

I work for Grapevine.net Internet Solutions. We've got pretty good virtual
hosting solutions at resonable rates. And we're the largest ISP in the KC
area... For some reason people sleep better at night know that their site
is hosted by the "biggest and baddest," but it doesn't really matter.

Okay, I think that's it.

G'night,
