It's good, it sure can be useful to the QA effort.

Thank you -- I'm glad to hear that others will find it useful.

Suggestions: - when detecting a possible OS vendor distribution it would be nice to ask confirmation from the user

That's an interesting idea -- what would you want to confirm? It seems like it's always a good idea to back up whatever non-symlink is found in the locations being manipulated by the script.

- you could edit the httpd.conf file piping it through sed to activate php 4 or php 5

I thought a little about that, and after hunting around I couldn't find a reliable way to detect Apache 1.x from Apache 2.x -- I'd like to use something like: LoadModule php4_module libexec/httpd/libphp4.so <IfDefine !APACHE2>

    AddModule mod_php4.c

</IfDefine> ... But it doesn't seem that the APACHE2 constant is always defined. I haven't tested that, however, so I'm not 100% positive.

What about detecting for other AddModule's in the current config? :) - Davey
