Software Prerequisites

The CSWS_PHP Version 5.2-17 kit requires that the following software is installed before you install CSWS_PHP:

Downloading the Kit

» Download CSWS_PHP Version 5.2-17 for HP Secure Web Server for OpenVMS Alpha servers

» Download CSWS_PHP Version 5.2-17 for HP Secure Web Server for OpenVMS Integrity servers


Expanding the Kit

To expand the CSWS_PHP for OpenVMS self-extracting file, enter one of the following commands, depending on the kit you download: 

$ RUN HP-AXPVMS-CSWS_PHP-V0502-17-1.PCSI_SFX_AXPEXE ! for Alpha servers
$ RUN HP-I64VMS-CSWS_PHP-V0502-17-1.PCSI_SFX_I64EXE ! for Integrity servers

The system extracts PCSI$COMPRESSED and other files as follows:

For Alpha:
HP-AXPVMS-CSWS_PHP-V0502-17-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED 
HP-AXPVMS-CSWS_PHP-V0502-17-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW
HP-AXPVMS-CSWS_PHP-V0502-17-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_HPC

or

For Integrity:
HP-I64VMS-CSWS_PHP-V0502-17-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED
HP-I64VMS-CSWS_PHP-V0502-17-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW
HP-I64VMS-CSWS_PHP-V0502-17-1.PCSI$COMPRESSED_HPC

Note: Do not rename these files.


Installing CSWS_PHP for OpenVMS

Important: Earlier version of CSWS_PHP must be removed manually. Use “Product remove CSWS_PHP” to remove earlier version if already installed.


Before you install CSWS_PHP (or any optional module), shut down the HP Secure Web Server. You can restart the server when the installation is complete.

To install the CSWS_PHP for HP Secure Web Server for OpenVMS kit, enter the following command: 

$ PRODUCT INSTALL CSWS_PHP/DESTINATION=DISK1:[WEB_SERVER]

Note: You must install the CSWS_PHP kit into the same device and directory where you installed the HP Secure Web Server for OpenVMS.

For example

$ SHOW LOGICAL APACHE$ROOT
"APACHE$ROOT" = "DISK1:[WEB_SERVER.APACHE.SPECIFIC.hostname.]
= "APACHE$COMMON:"
1 "APACHE$COMMON" = "DISK1:[WEB_SERVER.APACHE.]

For a description of PRODUCT INSTALL commands, see the PCSI Utility User's Guide.

As the installation procedure for CSWS_PHP Version 5.2-17 progresses, the system displays the following information: 

The following product has been selected:
 
 
HP AXPVMS CSWS_PHP V5.2-17 Layered Product
 
 
Do you want to continue? [YES]

The following product has been installed:
HP AXPVMS CSWS_PHP V5.2-17             Layered Product

HP AXPVMS CSWS_PHP V5.2-17

Post-installation tasks are required for Php for OpenVMS.


The release notes give detailed directions. This information
is a brief checklist.

This installation modifies APACHE$ROOT:[CONF]HTTPD.CONF to
enable Mod_Php.  Check HTTPD.CONF for accuracy.  The line
"Include /apache$root/conf/mod_php.conf" should be the only
difference.  Also study the Mod_Php configuration file
(APACHE$ROOT:[CONF]MOD_PHP.CONF) for options required for your
site.

The Apache server must be shutdown and restarted to make these
changes to the HTTPD.CONF file take place.  Test that Mod_Php
is working by accessing the sample script from a browser:

http://<your web server host>/php/php_rules.php

Thank you for using PHP for OpenVMS.

After the installation is complete, start the HP Secure Web Server by entering the following command: 

$ @SYS$STARTUP:APACHE$STARTUP

Removing CSWS_PHP for OpenVMS

You can remove the CSWS_PHP kit by using the PRODUCT REMOVE command. The HP Secure Web Server must be shut down before you remove CSWS_PHP.

To remove CSWS_PHP, enter the following commands: 

$ @SYS$STARTUP:APACHE$SHUTDOWN
$ PRODUCT REMOVE CSWS_PHP

The PRODUCT REMOVE command removes all files created by this installation. It also attempts to remove the directories defined by this installation.


Using Extensions

CSWS_PHP Version 5.2-17 includes the extensions listed in the PHP.INI file as shown in the following example. There are two ways to load a PHP extension: using the dl() function and using the PHP.INI file. These methods are as follows:

  • The dl() function allows the loading of extensions within a PHP script if the extension resides in the default extension_dir. Extension_dir is defined as PHP_ROOT:[EXTENSIONS] directory (APACHE$COMMON:[PHP.EXTENSIONS]).
  • The PHP.INI file provided with the CSWS_PHP kit resides in the PHP_ROOT:[000000] directory (APACHE$COMMON:[PHP]). PHP.INI contains the extension statement to automatically load the extension for every PHP script executed. To enable the loading of the extension for every PHP script, uncomment the "extension=" statement as shown in the following example, and restart the HP Secure Web Server. 
PHP.INI
;
; Uncomment for the automatic loading of extensions
;
;extension=php_bcmath.exe
;extension=php_bzip2.exe
;extension=php_calendar.exe
;extension=php_ctype.exe
;extension=php_dba.exe
;extension=php_exif.exe
;extension=php_ftp.exe
;extension=php_gd.exe
;extension=php_iconv.exe
;extension=php_ldap.exe
;extension=php_mhash.exe
;extension=php_mysql.exe
;extension=php_oci8.exe
;extension=php_odbc.exe
;extension=php_openssl.exe
;extension=php_openvms.exe
;extension=php_pcre.exe
;extension=php_posix.exe
;extension=php_session.exe
;extension=php_sockets.exe
;extension=php_xml.exe
;extension=php_zip.exe
;extension=php_zlib.exe

ODBC Extension

The ODBC extension works with any ODBC Version 2.5 capable server. The ODBC.PHP script works with Attunity Connect "On Platform" Package for OpenVMS Alpha using the RMS demo.

Add the following lines to the beginning of the APACHE$COMMON:[000000]LOGIN.COM file to enable the script to work with Attunity Connect: 

$ !
$ ! Run the Attunity login if we find it
$ !
$ IF F$SEARCH ("NAVROOT:[BIN]NAV_LOGIN.COM") .NES. ""
$ THEN
$ @NAVROOT:[BIN]NAV_LOGIN.COM
$ DEFINE APACHE$ODBC_SHR ODNAVSHR
$ DEFINE APACHE$ODBC_PFX NV
$ ENDIF

The two logicals required to make the ODBC extension functional are APACHE$ODBC_SHR and APACHE$ODBC_PFX. These logicals are defined as follows:

  • APACHE$ODBC_SHR
    This logical defines the ODBC shareable image to be used for the ODBC access.
  • APACHE$ODBC_PFX
    This logical defines, if needed, any ODBC API prefix.

OCI Extension

Add the following lines to the beginning of the file APACHE$COMMON:[000000]LOGIN.COM:

For Oracle 8i:

$ !
$ ! Define the OCI extension logicals if we find the OCI client shareable
$ !
$ IF F$SEARCH ("ORA_ROOT:[UTIL]ORACLIENT_V817.EXE") .NES. ""
$ THEN
$ DEFINE APACHE$OCI_SHR ORA_ROOT:[UTIL]ORACLIENT_V817.EXE
$ ENDIF

For Oracle 9i:

$ !
$ ! Define the OCI extension logicals if we find the OCI client shareable
$ !
$ IF F$SEARCH ("ORA_ROOT:[LIB32]LIBCLNTSH.SO") .NES. ""
$ THEN
$ DEFINE APACHE$OCI_SHR ORA_ROOT:[LIB32]LIBCLNTSH.SO
$ ENDIF

The two logicals required to make the OCI extension functional are APACHE$OCI_SHR and APACHE$OCI_PFX. These logicals are defined as follows:

  • APACHE$OCI_SHR
    This logical defines the OCI8 shareable image to be used for the OCI8 access.
  • APACHE$OCI_PFX
    This logical defines, if needed, any OCI8 API prefix.

Sample PHP Scripts

The following PHP sample scripts are included in the CSWS_PHP Version 2.2-1 kit (calendar.php, info.php, odbc.php, and php_openvms.php). These scripts demonstrate the use of the provided extensions. 


PHP_CALENDAR.PHP (Useful for Hebrew calendar in Unicode)

Release Notes

Problems Fixed

The following problems are fixed in this release:

  • When you attempt to create a PHP session, CSWS_PHP displays the following warning message:

    • Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(SYS$SCRATCH:/
sess_856075c3a77b849060f8614a36cddf87, O_RDWR)
failed: no such file or directory (2) in /pubdata/dailymission/index.php

    This problem is fixed in this release.


  • While calling the PHP_LDAP routines in PHP script, PHP displays the following error message: 
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function ldap_search()

    This problem is fixed in this release.


  • "SYSTEM-S-NORMAL" message is set by openvms_cvt_filename() function if the directory name passed to it does not exist. 
    
			     
			
			
       This problem is fixed in this release. 

    


 

General Information   
  
 

This section contains notes on the current release of CSWS_PHP. 


  • Add logical names to PHP_SETUP.COM for extended file name support

    
If you are using CSWS_PHP alone or with HP Secure Web Server Version 2.0 or later, and you have ODS-5 files with extended file names such as grab_globals.lib.php (which has multiple dots), the files will not be processed correctly. 

    
To solve this problem, add the following logical definitions to the end of PHP_SETUP.COM located in APACHE$COMMON:[000000]: 

 

     $ DEFINE /NoLog DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE ENABLED
     $ DEFINE /NoLog DECC$EFS_CASE_SPECIAL ENABLED
     $ DEFINE /NoLog DECC$EFS_CHARSET ENABLED
     $ DEFINE /NoLog DECC$FILE_SHARING ENABLED
 

 
    

    
 	Using the commands SET PROCESS/PARSE=EXTENDED and SET PROCESS/PARSE=EXTENDED/CASE=SENSITIVE do not work in this situation. 


  
    
 
  • Configuring CSWS_PHP  not required 

    
During the installation, the file PHP_SETUP.COM is added to the APACHE$ROOT directory, and an include file for MOD_PHP.CONF is added to the end of HTTPD.CONF. When you start the HP Secure Web Server, PHP_SETUP.COM is run and PHP is loaded into the server. You do not need to configure CSWS_PHP. 



    • 

  • PHP DNS functions supported only with TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS

    
 This version of CSWS_PHP supports the CHECKDNSRR and GETMXRR functions only on systems using HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. These functions might be supported with other TCP/IP products in a future CSWS_PHP kit. 

    • 


    

  • PHP LINK functions not supported 

    
This version of CSWS_PHP does not support the LINK, LINKINFO, SYMLINK, and READLINK functions. These functions might be supported in a future CSWS_PHP kit.

    
Note: While using PHP Version 5.2-17, HP recommends you to use the URI to handle any file.

    •
