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

Thanks for the help so far!

But I did!

Just tried it and it said: [root@gblinux php-4.0.2]# ./configure --with-shared-apache creating cache ./config.cache configure: error: --with-shared-apache is not supported.

Doing a cd / find -iname *apxs* only shows: ./usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/apache-1.3.11-apxs.patch ./usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/apache_1.3.12/src/support/apxs.8 ./usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/apache_1.3.12/src/support/apxs.pl I have no rpm with the word apxs in it. What rpm would the script be contained in? > > > > I could not find apxs and I don't want mysql so i just did the above. > > You don't want MySQL!?!? Heresy! ;-) Well, yes. I am talking about a single machine with no MySQL. I use it at home and work on several differnet linux servers. We use it with a web based groupware perl script I wrote which does todo, clalendar, appointments, customer database.

The INSTALL suggests that you don't need apxs and that a ./configure is all that is needed then a make install. Is says: If you get an error telling you that the apxs script could not be found, look for it on your system and if you find it, provide the full path to it as: --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs Notice the _if_. It also says: You now have to choose the options you would like. There are quite a few of them. To see a list, type: ./configure --help I would not like any of them thanks. Oh, hang on. Ah, I see. The language in the following paragraph is ambiguous: A popular choice is to build the Apache module version. In order to build PHP as a dynamic module for Apache-1.3.x you have to first have Apache installed. Assuming Apache is already installed, make sure the shared object module is enabled. To check this, type: httpd -l It seemed like it was talking about the whole 2a section itself. I find the whole INSTALL file quite unclear and confusing. > > > Cary Still no further I'm afraid. Should the option be: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-shared-apache What should it be? I think it might be to do with not having the apxs script?
