Installing a PHP that can do symfony+doctrine on Dreamhost

01 Jun 2007

Lately I’ve been experimenting with Doctrine on a few projects. It does have some requirements, including the PDO layer of PHP 5.2. Things didn’t work right off the bat on Dreamhost (which I still use for non-critical things), so I opted to build my own php.

This is based on the numerous installphp scripts floating around:

#!/bin/sh

# Script updated 2006-12-25 by Carl McDade (hiveminds.co.uk) to allow memory limit and freetype
# Save the code to a file as *.sh

# The domain in which to install the PHP CGI script.
export DOMAIN="example.com"

# Where do you want all this stuff built? I'd recommend picking a local
# filesystem.
# ***Don't pick a directory that already exists!***  We clean up after
# ourselves at the end!
SRCDIR=${HOME}/source

# And where should it be installed?
INSTALLDIR=${HOME}/php5

# Set DISTDIR to somewhere persistent, if you plan to muck around with this
# script and run it several times!
DISTDIR=${HOME}/dist

# Pre-download clean up!!!!
#rm -fr $SRCDIR # $DISTDIR

# Update version information here.

Now to your .htaccess add:

AddHandler phpFive .php
Action phpFive /cgi-bin/php.cgi

And you are set. I’m not a big “compiling guy.” So if there are issues with this please let me know and give me some good explanations.
