Re: Upgrading PHP 4.3.1 to PHP 4.3.4

Hi, As per the phpinfo.php the original installation was with "./configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/' '--with-config-file-path=/web/conf' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27/' '--enable-track-vars' , now adding new thing "--with-apxs" will not effect the exiting sites? As I have several live sites running on this server.
