Re: PHP4.0.2 and RH6.2 and no libphp4.so problem

Thus spake Daniel Barron (php@beebug.co.uk): > I need to install PHP4, so I downloaded the 4.0.2 tar.gz file and followed > the instructions to make a dynamic apache module, but it does not edit the > httpd.conf file or create the libphp4.so file. > > This is what I did, can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? > > cd php4.0.2 > ./configure If this is what you did then you didn't follow the directions. At the least you will want the --with-shared-apache directive to make a shared module not using apxs. Configure just by itself will make a standalone PHP binary that you can use for CGI and command line scripts. In the stock RH 6.2 apache install, I think apxs lives in /usr/sbin. So, then you could do --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs. > > I could not find apxs and I don't want mysql so i just did the above. You don't want MySQL!?!? Heresy! ;-) > > make install > > This all works as far as I can tell, but no libphp4.so file is created and > no LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so (or similar) is added to > httpd.conf. You should read INSTALL in your PHP source tree. It describes the various Apache install methods. Also, look at the output of configure --help. Cary
