Don't use --prefix. For RedHat use --with-layout=RedHat instead. > 2) The quick instructions say: > > "make > (you should now have an httpd binary which you can copy to your Apache bin dir) > > cd ../php-4.0.x > cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini" > > Is this line showing my how to copy the httpd binary?

To copy your httpd binary, use: cp httpd <destination> > 3) As far as I can tell the conf/httpd.conf file requires the > following lines only when I am using the DSO install: > > LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so > AddModule mod_php4.c > > The following line is needed in both cases? > > AddType application/x-httpd-php .php > > Is that correct for static I don't need LoadModule and AddModule? That's correct. But I would suggest you use the dynamic build. You will have less problems upgrading and adding new features, etc. -Rasmus
