(This is the second posting of the same problem I apologise the return email address on the first is incorrect) Hi We need help!!! Can anybody give us simple in plain English the install proceedure for PHP4 + MYSQL + APACHE using O/S RedHat 6.2 . We have Apache 1.3.12 installed as by RPM, mysql 3.22.23 installed by RPM & php4 4.0.3 install by compilling and configuring the source. We have followed the INSTALL & README details which come with PHP4 as follows: After gunzipping the tar file etc and moving to the directory created we did ./configure --with mysql --apxs make make install this installed with no problems but on checking the httpd.conf file the install programme placed the LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.so & AddModule mod_php4.c instructions way down in the httpd section which caused problems with apache not running in addition we did not have the libphp4.so in the path as specified. We moved the 2 lines up to the section where all the other LoadModules & AddModules were located. We changed the path to the libphp4.so to modules/libsophp4.so and when this did not work we changed to the absolute path to where the file was listed, this also did not work giving us a message that there was no directory. In between these attempts we used httpd -t to monitor the results on each occasion we got SYNTAX OK Segmentation fault (core dump). After 4 long days of reading FAQ's emails ect, we tried to configure with the following: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs the compile programme could not find the paths. The one way we did get the compile programme to accept the path was: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-apxs but this then gave us the same problems with the httpd.conf file as detailed above. We have tried every variation of the paths possible but nothing works. Can anybody assist your help would be most welcome. regards
