15. Appendix B 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!!!

15.1 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.html

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.

15.2 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.
