WEB SERVERS

Configuring a Web Site rule to run PHP
PHP (from "Personal Home Page Tools") is a script language and interpreter. The PHP script is embedded within a Web page along with its HTML. To enable a Web Site document to use PHP, you need to create a directory rule for that site document to point to the PHP executable files.

Note The default directory for PHP scripts is defined by the DOCUMENT_ROOT CGI variable, and is the /<notes root directory>/data/domino/html. PHP looks for scripts relative to this directory.

To configure a Web Site rule for PHP

1. Install PHP on the Web server. Make sure that the PHP.EXE file can find the PHP.INI file. Be sure that all paths are set up correctly for PHP. See the PHP installation documentation for more information.

2. Create a directory rule to run PHP scripts. Use the following settings:
FieldAction
DescriptionEnter a name that differentiates this rule from others you create.
Type of RuleSelect Directory
Incoming URL patternEnter :/php-bin

An example of an incoming URL would be: http://<server>/php-bin/PHP.EXE/<php-scripts>

Target server directory Enter the location of the PHP binary file (for example, c:\PHP)
Access level Click Execute.
