Once upon a time, there was a way to run PHP with Apache on OpenBSD using the php-*-ap2 package. At that time, OpenBSD shipped with home-patched Apache 1.3 and provided Apache 2.x as a package. Since then, Apache 1.x was dropped from base, replaced with httpd(8) and ports gave the opportunity to run either Apache 1.x or Apache 2.x.

One way to get PHP and Apache is to use FastCGI. Here’s how to run the OAMP 6.0.Continue reading...

There is a way to deal with binary objects only: openup by M:Tier. This is how to do it.Continue reading...
