At the top of INSTALL is a big STOP! and a link to the online docs for
updated instructions, you never tried, I guess;-)

Here again:
The install section can be found at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/installation.php

For apache 1.3.x:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php

For apache2:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php

btw. the link you mentioned raises an 404.

I think the docs should be OK, check it out.
If you have any comments on the docs feel free to give feedback within
this bug report.

Only closing this bug not as bogus, because in INSTALL an explizit link
to apache2 install instructions maybe provided.

In the tar/gz bundle, I consulted INSTALL to determine
how to proceed.
--with-apxs assumes that installation is with Apache 1.
but that assumption is not documented.

Please mention that --with-apxs should be used with
Apache 2. or better yet, make apxs2 be the default.

You might also consider using the install
instructions at http://dan.drydog.com/apache2.html.
They helped me immensly. Having post-install sanity
checks such as he provides in steps 11 - 13 where
most helpful.

If somebody needs to read the INSTALL, then they don't
know a lot about options, so a little extra info on
configuring and how to check their install would make
PHP easier to use for a first timer, even one experieced
in many other Apache projets
