Re: Recompile PHP on pre-installed system

If you're using a Redhat Enterprise version with a support contract then I personally don't think you should attempt to run a non-redhat php binary. Instead find out how redhat make their php-mysql or php-ldap or php-{some_other_php_module} rpm, Make an RPM, and install it like you would any other RPM. Better still would be to upgrade to Debian( they have more php modules I believe than RH), but that would require much more downtime than an apache restart. What module do you need?
