Installing PHP
Sorry for the newby question, but I am trying to install PHP4.
I was able to get apt installed using this as a guide
From that point I added the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
Then I enter the following commands
and
The result was this
Any ideas what I need to do at this point?
How do I get around the "The group `www-data' already exists." issue?
Thanks in advance

- The system is running Apache 2, so you'd want whatever is closest to libapache2-mod-php5.
- When I run this command:
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4
apt said I can't install apache2-mpm-prefork (> 2.0.52). And yup the system already got it. So how can I get around this error in order to install libapache2-mod-php4? - I've downloaded libapache2-mod-php4 and run dpkg on it:
nas:/upload# dpkg -i libapache2-mod-php4_4.3.10-22_sparc.deb

The apache was installed using etch version? So i need to install libapache2-mod-php5 from etch instead? - Finally I've successful installing php... it's really tricky that you installed an apache2.2 build into an oldstable
- Is there any way you could provide a step by step for us
Thanks! - Yes, please. A step by step would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance. - Ok, here are the steps:
apt-get install libbz2-1.0
apt-get install ucf
dpkg -i libdb4.4_4.4.20-2bpo1_sparc.deb
dpkg -i --force-all libxml2_2.6.27.dfsg-1_sparc.deb
dpkg -i php5-common_5.2.0-8+etch7_sparc.deb
dpkg -i --force-all libapache2-mod-php5_5.2.0-8+etch7_sparc.deb
You need to download all those deb packages from the official debian package repository. Those includes sarge-backports and etch.
Please remember, do not replace the libc6 package! I haven't try that, but I guess it will brick the system if tried. - Hey people,
I was just reading the steps, I'm wondering, does this procedure cause any problems on the ReadyNas and whats the performance like serving up php webpages ? - I'm curious, too, whether there is a way to configure APT so that we can avoid it installing libc6* and yet still take advantage of it's ability to resolve depenencies, etc. I know yum has the ability to forcibly exclude actions on certain packages (by regexp), but I can't seem to find if APT can do the same.
- In general it won't work, because just about everything is linked to libc6, and newer packages will almost always require a newer libc. So most things will need to get recompiled against glibc 2.3.2.
