Description David McNab 2002-08-16 08:19:47 UTC

Ho support is given by PHP installer for getting PHP working under Apache.

It took a bit of sniffing around, hacking and asking on #gentoo to get PHP
working, and to get Apache to execute PHP pages.

IMO, the PHP install should place some instructions in (say)
/home/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.php

not a bad idea, actually

i find this bug to be invalid since the packages displays this message after 
being emerged:

Execute ebuild /var/db/pkg/${CATEGORY}/${PF}/${PF}.ebuild config
to have your apache.conf auto-updated for use with this module.
You should then edit your /etc/conf.d/apache file to suit.

Please remeber:
This install of PHP has set register_globals = On (lower security)
Please read http://www.php.net/release_4_1_2.php (Section: External variables)
for further informations.

or we could mark it as a duplicate of Bug 4943 ...
