I don't want 2 instances of apache running, your over thinking this... I only asked if I need to change only the prefix, or if there is anything else, to get both php versions installed. Once I see my scripts are working ok, or not, I'll be getting rid of php4. I'm not running a dev machine, this is production, and the only one I have currently, my backup died last week and I haven't gotten the parts for it yet. Is prefix the only option I need to change? Or do I need to change these too? --datadir=/usr/share \ --includedir=/usr/include \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --libexecdir=/usr/libexec \ --localstatedir=/var \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/usr/share/info \ --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin \ Thanks, Jake

AFAIK are these settings all relative to prefix. So if your prefix is /opt/php5, datadir would become /opt/php5/share, includedir would become /opt/php5/include etc. Tijnema

alternatively you can search for 'Rasmus' and 'ProxyPass'

in the list

archive and use Rasmus' rather cool ProxyPass solution to

running both

php4 and php5 ... his explanation should give you enough info to set it up.

I don't need them running parallel, only both installed

I think you missed the point. you would have 2 apaches running, that is correct but the trick is to set it up so that they use the same document roots for each site that you are trying to convert. the beauty of this is that you can literally run the same site in php5 and php4 simulaneously with urls something *like*: php4.mydevsite.com

php5.mydevsite.com    (ProxyPassed to 'inner' apache)

were HOSTS file contains: 127.0.0.1 php4.mydevsite.com php5.mydevsite.com and both outer and inner apache's use the same docroot for the given site. obviously it's just one way of setting up a comfortable dev environment - as long as you have something that allows you to doo your tihng without to much pain then thats the main thing :-)

Hi everyone, I just got done going through all my configure options for

php5, and

finally configure finished successfully... I didn't install it

yet, have a

question. Can I have both 4 and 5 installed temporarily until I'm

sure all my

scripts work ok? They should, I've been careful, but I want to be

sure since

this is the only server I currently have. I was going to install

a virtual

copy of fedora and do testing, but I don't have time, hopefully

someone can

answer. I think I just have to change the prefix to something other than default and load the new module in httpd. If I had more time I would

do this the

right way, but we all know how that goes... If this will work, I can then just uninstall 4.. Hopefully

it won't break

anything. I'll post my configure options if anyone would like to

double check....

Thanks, Jake

If you use make install on the second one, it will add the libphp5 library to your httpd.conf, and then you would have libphp4 and libphp5 in your httpd.conf. That is guaranteed to give

problems. So if

you comment out one of the 2, then it works fine.

Yes, I just wanted to make sure I only needed to change the

prefix to get

them both installed
