pkg/DESCR
"Quercus is Caucho Technology's fast, open-source, 100% Java
implementation of the PHP language. Quercus is a feature of Caucho
Technology's Resin Application Server" and is also available
separately for use with existing Java-based web servers. "Developers
using Resin can launch PHP projects without having to install the
standard PHP interpreter (http://www.php.net) as Quercus takes on
the role of the PHP engine."
"Quercus implements PHP 5 and is internationalization/localization
(i18n/l10n) aware. Quercus natively supports Unicode and the new
Unicode syntax of the up-and-coming PHP 6. Quercus implements a
growing list of PHP extensions (i.e. APC, iconv, GD, gettext, JSON,
MySQL, Oracle, PDF, Postgres, etc.). Many popular PHP applications
will run as well as, if not better, than the standard PHP interpreter
straight out of the box."
pkg/MESSAGE
Quercus can be installed in any Java-5 compatible Java web or
application server.
The entire Quercus distribution in unpacked WAR format is in
${TRUEPREFIX}/share/examples/quercus; you can copy this directory
to your app server directory, e.g., for Tomcat,
cp -r ${TRUEPREFIX}/share/examples/quercus/quercus-${VER}
/var/tomcat/webapps/quercus
Visit e.g. http://localhost:8080/quercus/ to make sure that it works.
Then cp -r your PHP app into the same directory, e.g., for WordPress:
cp -r /var/www/wordpress/* /var/tomcat/webapps/quercus
Read the documentation, especially on using JDBC Connection Pools.
Be sure to check out the custom LICENSE file in the root of the web app;
other license terms may be available from Caucho with paid support.
port is at http://www.darwinsys.com/openbsd/myports/quercus.tar.gz
Tested just to see that "hello.php" works and that WordPress starts up.
