Howdy, I noticed that quite a few people were having a hard time installing PHP on Fedora Core or Redhat, so I put together a little tutorial explaining how to do it. Hope it helps :D http://mfonda.dotgeek.org/fcrh.php
I'm not complaining about any tutorials, but this doesn't quite fit with my experience. I installed FC2 (not an upgrade). I then ran phpinfo() to get the configure options for the installed PHP. I used those options to configure PHP5. After running make and make install, I edited "/etc/httpd/conf.d/php.ini" to change the LoadModule line. I believe I also needed to remove the domxml.ini file from /etc/php.d. I may have also needed to more some other files around. My point isn't to provide another tutorial, but to say that a PHP and linux newbie (me) can install PHP5 without also installing Apache. I am inexperienced with Apache and PHP, so I'm not claiming it is *better* not to re-install Apache, just that it isn't necessary under FC2.
