Hi to all.

I'm developing an helpdesk support for my company using Dokuwiki.

I actually used the Dokuwiki on a stick provided by the author, and not have installed anything on my PC, just using the m(ini)apache webserver supplied with that installation.

I would have liked to try a local install on my N800 (maybe providing one to each of our technicians later ), but I cannot understand wheter there is a webserver supporting php on the tablet.

I know that we have apache port, nginx port, thttpd, but I cannot figure out if the php support is out of the box or if there is anything needed to let it work (provided this is possible on the tablet).

Anyone willing to help?

try to compile lighthttpd, it has php support.

i've also tried dokuwiki on a nslu2 with lighthttp&php (xscale processor).

it's a looooooot lightweight then apache.


Cheers,

I have installed nginx along with php-fastcgi. For my application (local install of eyeOS), I was confronted with the problem that the php in the N8X0 does not have gzip enabled... and I was stumped on how to solve that. I posted that problem here, but got no response recently. So, to answer your question I beleive that php support is available, but may not be fully functional... IMO

Any clue on how to do this? I know that we have nginx port available, how to add php-fastcgi afterwards? Maybe my need are not so advanced, so I'd give it a try

OK - I literally just tinkered, and then stopped when things did not work out. All I did was install nginx, then installed the php-fastcgi. I didn't do any configuring afterwards, since I assumed (naively) that the two would work together. nginx was working as I got the test page when surfing to 'localhost' on micorb. After installing my php app, I got the app's diagnostic telling me that gzip wasn't enabled, so the install could not proceed further.

Well, I didn't figure out that all was already available on the repository

installed right now php5-pear and nginx, I'll try to install dokuwiki later on and see how (and if) it works

Yes, please post back your progress. I'd be interested to see if it works for you.

I've compiled PHP and Lighttpd from scratch on the tablets with no problem... I disabled most of the modules I wouldn't be using, but it's possible to compile them without too much issue. Of course if there's already stuff in the repos, then great go for it since it saves you hassles and work, but if you are looking for a specific PHP build/config/module or lighttpd I've got 'em on my tablet right now... I could probably deb 'em up if somebody's really desperate for something they can't pull out of the repos, but I provide no promises that they'll work flawlessly for you...

Jolouis, I for one would l like a copy of the .debs or any way you can send them. I just want to create php scripts that will interact with sqlite3 db through a browser window, and have been unsuccessful with the repository packages.

Jolouis, I would really like to be the next one, who receives the ethernal gift of the "up-debbed" PHP and Lighttpd packages.
