However the script forgets to add the correct command-line parameters; as a result you always get the default APXS usage page instead of a report of what the error actually was. The following patch fixes it: --- php-4.3.1/sapi/apache/config.m4.orig Thu Jul 25 19:37:16 2002 +++ php-4.3.1/sapi/apache/config.m4 Wed May 28 13:51:44 2003 @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ AC_MSG_RESULT([2.
