Re: iTools 6.x and PHP 4.3.x

[eyang@xxxxxxxxx (Eric Yang)]

Hi Dan,

There are some confusions that might need to be cleared up.  iTools 
6.5.x would overwrite the default Apache.  Therefore, System 
Preference and other utilities could control the states of the 
webserver.  However, iTools 7 is independent from the default Apache, 
therefore System Preference and other utilities are required to have 
WebServer shut off in order to run iTools 7.  Therefore, where you 
hear iTools doesn't mess with default Apache that only applies to 
iTools 7.  (Uninstall iTools 6.5.x will restore your apache to the 
default Apple Apache).

For PHP 4.3.x package, the entropy's PHP has expats library (XML) 
compiled in as an static library, and iTools 6.5 has compiled expats 
statically for mod_ssl.  Therefore it causes conflict and unable to 
load entropy's PHP library with iTools 6.5.  I would recommend to use 
iTools PHP package unless your PHP program only works with PHP 4.3.x, 
then you will have to follow this paper and compile PHP manually.

Hope this helps.
