reviewing the installation documentation (we need help)

Hi there,

We are in restructuring and reviewing the installation instructions
provided in the manual for PHP. We expect the updated instructions to
work properly for actual PHP versions and recent versions of the
servers. We are going to remove irrelevant instructions on the way, and
add more servers if possible and desired.

We also would like to ask people experienced in setting up PHP
properly on different platforms to help us refine and fix the
documentation. We know that the windows instructions are a mess in
suggesting moving and copying stuff all around the system and windows
dirs. We are not certain though what should be there instead as proper
instructions, so would like to ask people who have expertise in setting
up PHP on these platforms. [Wez already promised he is going to help
with general Windows instructions, but seems like he had no time this
week to reply to our mails].

We are very much interested in people reviewing the MacOS, different
Unix variants, different servers, etc. Basically everything related to
the installation. Pick the part you have experience in! We are also in
need of people fixing the docs for PHP 5 (so the suggestions will work
for PHP 4 and PHP 5 too).

The restructuring of the installation part is now complete, and awaits
your help in refining the instructions for different servers, and add
more if desired. Here is how you can help:

1. Check out the phpdoc module. Get to the en/install folder.
   On the web: http://cvs.php.net/cvs.php/phpdoc/en/install/

2. This is the start folder for our new install instructions
   structure. Do not let any other place confuse you, where you
   might find instructions on installation. This is the folder
   to work with.

3. Provide diffs against installation instructions to
   phpdoc@lists.php.net if possible.

Thanks for your cooperation,
