Unix/Linux installs
This section contains notes and hints specific to installing
PHP on Linux distributions.
Using Packages
Many Linux distributions have some sort of package installation
system, such as RPM. This can assist in setting up a standard
configuration, but if you need to have a different set of
features (such as a secure server, or a different database
driver), you may need to build PHP and/or your webserver.
If you are unfamiliar with building and compiling your own
software, it is worth checking to see whether somebody has
already built a packaged version of PHP with the features
you need.
