The good news is that it runs the regular binaries of your distribution and behaves in every way almost the same as if it were an independant server. The bad news is you have to go to the trouble of setting up an independant virtual server and it doesn't integrate with windows like cygwin does. I've now got coLinux sessions smbmounting my windows disks (and vice versa) and cygwin X server running in rootless mode (X -multiwindow) so I can combine my linux and windows apps nicely.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of that interesting project. I'm definitely going to check it out. For my immediate needs, however, I managed to get the standard precompiled native Win32 php4 package to work as a CGI handler inside my cygwin Apache 1.3. This is suboptimal, and I have to stay away from cygwin paths (~, symlinks, etc.), but SquirrelMail worked just as advertised.

mod-php4
Hi! I've gleaned from the archives that mod-php4 was pulled because it was broken, and that a new maintainer has taken over apache + modules. Is there any use in hoping that mod-php4 will be added soon? I need it for a SquirrelMail setup I've been asked to provide on Windows... :-/ I've had a shot at building php4 myself, but failed miserably: bash-2.05b$ make install Installing PHP SAPI module: apache apxs:Error: file libs/libphp4.so is not a DSO make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 The only files on libs are libphp4.a (8MB) and libphp4.la (700 bytes). I've searched for help on this, but the similar reports are either very old, very clueless, very cryptic or very complex. I definitely would feel much more comfortable with a packaged setup of PHP. That being said, any pointers to alternatives to SquirrelMail (preferrably lighter-weight, and for an IMAP backend) would be welcome...

The normal WAMP setup works fine with squirrelmail. (And most other php packages.) There are lots of easy WAMP installers. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

mod-php4 missing from cygwin distro
Hello, I'd like to be able to run apache + php via cygwin. However, a setup package search for `mod-php4' and the like led to zero results. A search on `php' returned results but nothing useful. It seems that mod-php4 is missing. The following google query didn't help too much: http://www.google.com/search?hl=jaie=UTF-8q=php%2C+cygwin%2C+missinglr= Another query led me to http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01028.html but it assumes that libphp4 is installed. I would be very grateful to anyone who could give me leads on what happened to the php libs. Thanks!
