Config file path option is useful, if you have to recompile php several times and want to preserve your php.ini. then you just set it outside of --prefix and delete old php install before installing new one. In your configure php.ini is still within directory set with --prefix. If you don't want to damage your apache installation, install apache in /home/danny/apache. And make sure that you do everything as danny and not as root. -- Tomas
