Installation Overview
In the Controller UI, the Getting Started Wizard walks you through the configuration and installation steps for the PHP Agent.
The installer that you get from the wizard uses the PHP directory specified in your environment PATH variable to determine where to install the agent. If you are instrumenting a PHP installation not specified in your PATH, you can manually configure and invoke the RPM or script installer.
The PHP Agent runs on Linux and MacOS machines. The PHP Agent is designed for PHP operating environments in which:
- There is a single PHP installation
- PHP is running in a single Apache or FPM pool
- Standard packages have been used to install PHP, Apache and/or PHP-FPM
- No customizations have been made to the PHP configuration
The PHP Agent may work in environments that do not meet all assumptions. However, you should use extra care in installing and thoroughly testing the PHP agent and application in a staging environment.
