Dear Chris, I did httpd -l and it shows "mod_so.c". Now I just need to install PHP 4.3.4 as a normal new fresh install ( './configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/' '--with-config-file-path=/web/conf' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27/' '--enable-track-vars') and that's it , no need to recompile apache and mysql?

As you are not using apxs (look in the php manual for this) it looks like your installation is not an Apache DSO module but compiled into Apache itself. If you use the same configure command for PHP then you will need to recompile Apache too. My experience with php begins with RH7.2 but the above does not look like a normal RH installation of PHP. If you do a "httpd -l" (that is the letter "l") as root and it shows "mod_so.c" then Apache is compiled to use modules and you could chose to compile PHP as a module. If it does not then you will need to recompile Apache. Regards Chris As Apache has mod_so.c it means that Apache can use modules (so there is no need to recompile Apache). In order to get PHP to compile as a module, you need to compile it with "--with-apxs" or "--with-apxs2" for Apache 2. You will need the path to apxs. Look in the manual for the exact configuration options or do "./configure --help". "locate apxs" should tell you where apxs is located.
