re: [PHP] php installation in different location

My server isn't actually using PHP FPM, it's using CGI and FCGID. So I should compile it with CGI and FCGID options, rather than PHP-FPM. Do you have any instructions for them?

The instructions are also supposed to work with 15.10 so I would imagine they would work with 14.04.  Not for the faint of heart. Seems to me that keeping the different versions patched and up to date would be a nightmare. Cheers, Curtis On 3/29/2016 5:42 PM, Christos Moustakakis wrote: > Thank you very much for your reply.
