Hi,
Im trying to install php with mysql support, but without mysql ( the mysql server is on another machine)
I tried following the advice in the tutorial @ http://www.opendeveloper.org/PHP/HowTo/How_To_Install_PHP_on_Linux/
But didn't suceed 🙁
I dont want to install a new version of apache, so i downloaded the php source file to /var/php, unzipped it to /var/php/php-xxxx
then i tried ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql
This is what i got back (note i dont actually have a file /usr/sbin/apxs) This is what i got back:
