Domino / Apache / PHP Integration
by Volker Weber
People often ask whether it's possible to use PHP with Domino. It's not as long as Domino is the HTTP stack being used. In theory it would be possible with IIS as the HTTP stack and the PHP module for IIS, but this is a nicer solution (because you don't need IIS) using Apache as the HTTP stack.
This is achieved without any additional code or modules, just through proper configuration of Apache. In essence, we're using mod_rewrite to find URLs with .nsf in them and pass them through to mod_proxy to fetch them from Domino. This in effect gives you seamless integration between Apache and Domino, as content on an Apache server usually won't have .nsf in the filename so there won't be a conflict.

It *is* possible, but only with R6. Here's a link to a thread in a NotesSupport forum that explains how to do this:
