Cannot specify libphp4.so location...

[dcmbrown]

I'm installing php-4.3.4 on a RedHat 9 system with a typical httpd rpm installation. The problem is that before when php 4.2.2 was installed on the system (as rpm), everything was working great and libphp4.so was installed in /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp4.so

I'd like to install the compiled libphp4.so in /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp4.so as well and have tried a number of variations of

./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --disable-cgi --sysconfdir=/etc --with-apxs2 --libdir=/usr/lib/httpd

but have yet to find one which will place libphp4.so in the right directory. It always ends up in /usr/modules

What am I missing to change this?

Thanks.

I was just doing this last night. My question is...

--libdir=/usr/lib/httpd

Is that your attempt to change the path where libphp4.so goes?

As I recall, I was able to do a ./configure --help to get all the options w/o doing a configure.

If --libdir=/usr/lib/httpd does not ,in fact, attempt to set the directory where your .so file resides I'll bet you can find it through --help.

I think I noticed a --libexecdir=DIR as well????
