what dir am i supposed to compile php from?

[mrsocks]

hi,
i am trying to compile php with curl (doing a compile for the first time, so please keep that in mind)

i am typing ./configure --whatever.... from the root dir and getting "command not found" or "direcory does not exisit" errors.

am i running this from the wrong dir? is it supposed to be from the apache dir (the directory that i get when i type "which apache")?

thanks

All PHP files you want to execute should be in your 'htdocs' folder in your Apache installation directory.

You have got the PHP source and unpacked it into a directory on your machine right? Usually, on linux, you put it under /usr/src somewhere.

If you look at the directory, you will find a file called "configure.sh".

You then have to move into that directory to run the file.

Hope this makes sense?
