Part I: Installing Resin

Downloading and unzipping Resin

1. Navigate to w.caucho.com/download
2. Download the latest Resin Binary for your computer. For purposes of this demo, I have downloaded the Windows .zip binary.

Part II: Configuring Resin to Serve PHP Pages

Example web.xml

<web-app xmlns="http://caucho.com/ns/resin">
  <servlet-mapping url-pattern="*.php"
                   servlet-class="com.caucho.php.servlet.PhpServlet">
    <init compile="false"/>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Example HelloWorld.php

<?php
  echo "Hello World";
?>
