Php 4.0 and Apache

Anon

I'm trying to get Php 4.0.1pl2 and apache 1.3.12 to run on a fresh install of Redhat 6.2.

Apache compiles fine but I;m having a little trouble with Php. I'm using the command line:

./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-perl=/usr/bin/perl

The perl version is 5.005_03

I have confirmed that all programs reside at these locations. Php displays:
Checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS....
Usage: apxs -g [blah blah blash for several options]
Configure: error: Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Either you need to install Perl or you need to pass the absolute path of apxs.

Any ideas I am beating my head up against the wall.

Thanks for any help

The apxs script is often broken. you chan read how to fix it in php faq somewhere like www.php.net/FAQ.html

I had the same problem when I installed php on my Redhat 6.2. To fix this problem, I recompiled apache with the following line ./configure --prefix=/path/to/apache --enable-module=all --enable-shared=max With this everything ran smooth when I installed php.

If you have a fresh Red Hat 6.2 installation, then why don't you just use the fine Apache which comes with Red Hat 6.2? - You could then add PHP packages as needed from http://fsr.ku.dk/people/troels/rpms/php/

If you are starting out with new versions of everything, why not start out with a new version of Apache?

my experience is that the new php-4.0.1pl2 and apache*.12 only cleanly installs on a rh6.2 kernel w/out a hitch! pray tell other wise?
