RE: [PHP] Upgrade PHP?

Well I uninstalled PHP, Apache, and all dependant RPMs. I compiled both from source, and although the compile went well, I'm having problems getting modules installed into PHP. For example, when using phpinfo(), I am told that GD is installed, but trying to use GD functions won't work. What now, guys?

I've dealt with a similar problem with Mandrake. Some distros have their own idea of where things should go. I prefer to install major applications like apache, perl, mysql, php myself and never install from rpm or accept default distro packages when installing an os from scratch. IMHO: Although handy for some things, I still can't figure out why people put up with rpms. :-) What I finally did is use rpm to uninstall php, apache, and mysql. I also followed dependencies and deleted them as well. This approach is not really a great idea if you're not used to building from source, but I have my own idea of where I like things to go so this works for me. Usually /usr/local is a good choice for installing. Since mysql and apache both come with their own start up scripts using chckconfig to add them to the system is about as easy as it gets.
