Overview
--------

This document describes how to install the PHP/Java Bridge Linux
packages. 


Installation on RedHat, Fedora, CentOS ...
------------------------------------------

* Download and install the PHP/Java Bridge.

    rpm -i php-java-bridge-x.y.z-1-i386.rpm


* Restart the Tomcat back end and the HTTP server.


* To rebuild the RPM files, download the php-java-bridge*.tar.gz
  archive and type (as root):

    rpmbuild -tb php-java-bridge*.tar.gz


Installation on Debian, Ubuntu, ...
-----------------------------------

* Debian 3.1 Sarge based Linux distributions currently (Feb 2007) don't 
  support Security Enhanced Linux. 
  A compiled, native back end is not available; the
  Debian port of the PHP/Java Bridge needs Java and a servlet container
  to start a Java VM.

* As of Debian GNU / Linux 4.0 Etch and newer versions, SE Linux is 
  supported and deactivated by default.
  See http://wiki.debian.org/SELinux
  The pre-compiled php-java-bridge Debian package uses the libraries.

* As of Ubuntu Breezy updated (february 2007) SE Linux should be available.
  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux

* The php-java-bridge_x.y.z-1_i386.deb Debian package installs as
  modules, places the .war file at the tomcat5 deploy dir, places many
  code examples at the docs directory and was created for Debian Etch
  4.0, with tomcat5, sun-java5, php 5.2.x. It can be installed with e.g.:

    dpkg -i php-java-bridge_x.y.z-w_i386.deb    

* To rebuild the Debian package in your specific version / distribution:
  The Debian GNU / Linux package was compiled in a pure Debian Etch 4.0 machine.
  It *may* work on Ubuntu or other Debian derivatives or versions,
  but it is highly recommended to recompile from source deb
  package files at these distributions.

  For package compilation from source deb package files, presuming you have
  Debian development toolchain already installed:
  1- create a ~/compilation directory
  2- download the debian source package files into the directory.
  3- cd ~/compilation
  4- dpkg-source -x php-java-bridge_x.y.z-w.dsc
  5- cd php-java-bridge-x.y.z
  6- debuild --linda --lintian -rfakeroot -uc -us
  7- cd ~/compilation
  8- su -c "dpkg -i php-java-bridge_x.y.z-w_i386.deb"
