The main different is that MIME type for php3 is called application/x-httpd-php3 and for php4 is called application/x-httpd-php (without the "3"). Uncomment "AddType application/x-httpd-php" and comment out "AddType application/x-httpd-php3". You might want to map to more extensions, such as .php3, .phtml, .inc, for backward compatibility. You might also want to edit the "DirectoryIndex" part of httpd.conf, to add in "index.php" as the directory index file. The runtime configuration of php is in php.ini. You can find a file called php.ini-dist in the source directory. Copy it to, let's say, /usr/local/lib/php.ini. The compile time configuration is done when you run "configure" in the php source. For example: ./configure --with-apache=../apahce_1.3.12 --with-mysql --with-ldap --with-g d --with-mcrypt --with-mhash --enable-memory-limit=yes Good luck.
