Run own PHP scripts on the server

[goetzi]

I don't know if this question has to do with Zimbra, but I ask it anyway:

How can i get my own PHP scripts running on the server? I want to use this on my Zimbra server but i am new to linux and don't know where to put this.

Can anyone help me?

You'd need to install your own apache with PHP.

But I thougt there is a webserver running for the GUI?

[joshuamorgan]

nope, zimbra uses JSP [Java Server Pages] for the GUI via the Apache-Tomcat/Jakarta web server. You will have to, as KevinH suggested, install apache.

[bburtin]

Our spell check module uses PHP and Apache. If you install the spell server, Apache and PHP get installed automatically.

[goetzi]

And where do I have to put my PHP files?

[marcmac]

The document root, as configured in /opt/zimbra/conf/httpd.conf, is in /opt/zimbra/httpd-2.0.54/htdocs

[goetzi]

Sorry, if this question is very dumb:

I put the PHP files to /opt/zimbra/httpd-2.0.54/htdocs/pshaw but if I go to https://my.server.foo/pshaw there is

TTP Status 404 - /pshaw

type Status report

message /pshaw

description The requested resource (/pshaw) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/5.5.7

The apache server isn't listening on port 443, it's listening on port 7780 - and it's not an https server, just http.

Is it safe to install another instance of Apache (in the default location for Fedora Core 3 using the add/remove app) that listens on port 80 if all I'm running Zimbra on right now is https (and the above port 7780 for spellchecking)?

I would also like to run some PHP-based apps on my Zimbra server and just wanted to check here before I tried it and hosed my mail server.
