        Post-installation tasks are required for PHP for OpenVMS.

        The release notes give detailed directions.
        This information is a brief checklist.

	This installation modifies APACHE$ROOT:[CONF]HTTPD.CONF to
	enable MOD_PHP.  Check HTTPD.CONF for accuracy.  The line
	"Include /apache$root/conf/mod_php.conf" should be the only
	difference.  Also study the MOD_PHP configuration file
	(APACHE$ROOT:[CONF]MOD_PHP.CONF) for options required for your
	site.

	The Apache server must be shut down and restarted to make these
	changes to HTTPD.CONF file take place.  Test that MOD_PHP
	is working by accessing the sample script from a browser:

	    http://<your web server host>/php/php_rules.php

	Thank you for using Apache for OpenVMS.

After the installation is complete, shut down and restart the Compaq Secure Web Server.

Removing CSWS_PHP for Compaq Secure Web Server for OpenVMS

You can remove the CSWS_PHP kit by using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. The Compaq Secure Web Server must be shut down before you remove CSWS_PHP.

To remove CSWS_PHP, enter the following commands: 

    $ SET DEF APACHE$ROOT:[000000]
    $ @SYS$STARTUP:APACHE$SHUTDOWN
    $ PRODUCT REMOVE CSWS_PHP
