PHP install on unix

[Anon]

HI ALL

Well I have just installed apache 1.3.XX on my Unix sever which so no I want to install php 4.0.4.

I have followed the instruction manual but I get an error which say it cant find the httpd.h file when I configure it with apache and mysql I have found where the httpd.h file is and have put the path in (--with-apache=~/usr/apache/include) but it say it can not find it at the moment I do not have mysql installed but will do that after I have in stalled php

Regards

do --with-apache=/usr/apache or whereever the apache package is extracted under. it will look under the include directory for the correct libraries and headers.

Yo,
Make sure you have the apache source that you compiled it from on the box, or the apache-devel rpm.

Try --with-apache=~usr/apache
It needs the root where the libs and header files live, so aiming it at /include will confuse configure since it automagically knows to check /include. It is looking for /apache/include/include the way you are doing it.

Or, if you are using DSO use the
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

(or wherever apxs is)
in your configure directives.
DSO is the way if you don't have the source. Just did this myself.

Do a
locate -u; locate apxs

and find out if it is there. If there is multiple copies verify that the one you are using is the correct one. I was just installing this on a box where some bonehead had 3 apache installations. *&^%#&$@
Damn the packrats!

Had to ps -jef to figure out where it was running from after 20 minutes of wondering why php wouldn't work!
