I have never tried running a PHP application so far being a java guy but I always wanted to know how easy or difficult it would be. I decided to try configuring PHP with Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 and when I googled for PHP and web server 7.0, I found this useful blog. While this blog talks about configuring PHP with Web Server 7.0 on Windows, I wanted to try the same on my Solaris 10 desktop and guess what, it didn't take me more than a few minutes to figure out what needs to be done.
I used the administration GUI to configure PHP with Web Server 7.0 but you could use wadm commands as well. You can refer to the Using CLI section of "Using PHP on Sun Java System Web Server 7.0" blog to find more out the wadm commands.
You can see how I got PHP working with Web Server 7.0 using Administraiton GUI in the following screen cast. Few points to note to understand this screen cast better:
- I have downloaded the PHP Add-On 1.0 pack from sun.com
- I have installed Web Server 7.0 Update 3 on Solaris 10
