Hi, I am in need of some urgent help. We have a computer design project in progress for my university course and I wish to install PHP 4 onto an apache (1.3.19) server. We are running RedHat 6.2. The so module appears to be installed (says so when I run httpd -l) in apache. I cannot figure out how to install php 4 without root access. The problem is the only directory I can write to is my home directory which is home/sysd. I can obviously can create files and directories in this and have managed to install Apache. However when I follow the instructions to install PHP it attempts to write to the usr directory which I do not have permission to(and will never have). I need to install PHP 4 with MySQL support (and preferably everything else that would be included if I was installing it on Windows). Does anyone know the options I should give ./configure? I tried some settings including prefix but this didn't seem to help. Please help. Thanks. Graeme
