(You mentioned apxs which is used only for this.) If so, you don't need to "replace" your existing server, just tell it to load and use PHP in httpd.conf. If, on the other hand, you are compiling PHP directly (statically) into apache, you would not use the --with-apxs directive and would use the --with-apache=/path/to/apache directive. This method is harder as it is done in three stages (1. compile vanilla apache; 2. make and make install PHP using --with-apache directive pointing to the source code from the first step; 3. recompile apache adding --activate-module=src/modules/php/libphp4.a directive). Only by statically linking in PHP will httpd -l would list mod_php3.c or mod_php4.c. If you have tried these two methods with no success, there is one possibility left, although I would not recommend it for security and performance reasons. You can compile PHP as a CGI. Unfortunately, I haven't done this, and I don't know the steps. -------------------------------- Derek Slye NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory Mission Software Systems Section (818) 354-4119
