Installation for Apache 2.x on Windows systems
This section contains notes and hints specific to Apache 2.x installs
of PHP on Microsoft Windows systems.
Nota:
Please read the manual
installation steps first!
It is strongly recommended to consult the
» Apache Documentation
to get have a basic understanding of the Apache 2.x Server.
Also consider reading the
» Windows specific notes
for Apache 2.x before reading on here.
Download the most recent version of
» Apache 2.x
and a fitting PHP version. Follow the
Manual Installation Steps
and come back to go on with the integration of PHP and Apache.
There are three ways to set up PHP to work with Apache 2.x on Windows.
PHP can be run as a handler, as a CGI, or under FastCGI.
Nota: Ricordare che quando si aggiungono
valori di path nei file di configurazione Apache su Windows, tutti i backslash
some c:\directory\file.ext devono essere convertiti in
slash, come c:/directory/file.ext. Uno slash
finale può essere necessario per le cartelle.
Installing as an Apache handler
Nota:
When using the apache2handler SAPI, the Thread Safe (TS) version of
PHP must be used.
To load the PHP module for Apache 2.x, the following lines in the
Apache httpd.conf configuration file must be inserted:
Example #1 PHP and Apache 2.x as handler
# before PHP 8.0.0 the name of the module was php7_module
LoadModule php_module "c:/php/php8apache2_4.dll"
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
# configure the path to php.ini
PHPIniDir "C:/php"
Nota:
The actual path to PHP must be substituted instead of
C:/php/ in the above examples.
Make sure that the file referenced in the LoadModule
directive is at
the specified location. Use php7apache2_4.dll
for PHP 7, or php8apache2_4.dll for PHP 8.
Running PHP as CGI
It is strongly recommended to consult the
» Apache CGI documentation
for a more complete understanding of running CGI on Apache.
To run PHP as CGI, the php-cgi files will need to be placed in a
directory designated as a CGI directory using the ScriptAlias directive.
A #!
line will need to be placed in the PHP files,
which point to the location of the PHP binary:
Example #2 PHP and Apache 2.x as CGI
#!C:/php/php.exe
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
AvvisoUsando il setup del CGI, il server
è aperto a parecchi attacchi. Leggere la
sezione sulla sicurezza CGI per capire come
difendersi da quest attacchi.
Running PHP under FastCGI
Running PHP under FastCGI has a number of advantages over running it as a
CGI. Setting it up this way is fairly straightforward:
Obtain mod_fcgid
from
» https://www.apachelounge.com.
Win32 binaries are available for download from that site.
Install the module according to the instructions that will come with it.
Configure the web server as shown below, taking care to adjust any paths
to reflect how it is installed on the system:
Example #3 Configure Apache to run PHP as FastCGI
LoadModule fcgid_module modules/mod_fcgid.so
# Where is the php.ini file?
FcgidInitialEnv PHPRC "c:/php"
<FilesMatch \.php$>
SetHandler fcgid-script
</FilesMatch>
FcgidWrapper "c:/php/php-cgi.exe" .php
Files with a
.php
extension will now be executed by the PHP FastCGI
wrapper.
