Uninstalling PHP 4.0.2

[Anon]

Hello There.

I've installed PHP 4.0.2, but enabled the --enable-degugger mode, and now I cannot use Zend Optimizer. Can someone please tell me the basic uninstall instrcutions for PHP 4.0.2 running on RedHat Linux 6.1 installed from Source??

Thanks in Advance.

You can either turn off the debugger by setting the debugger.enabled switch in the debugger section of php.ini.

--OR--

If the Zend Optimizer still flakes with the debugger turned off, you might have to recompile php and reinstall over the previous install. This is the preferred method, to me anyway.

just make it without the --enable-debugger switch, make install that, then restart apache and you should be set.

Make a script with a single command in it:

phpinfo();

and execute that to see if the debugger is in fact off, and Zend on.

Recompilation is the preferred option but to run Zend Optimizer you need to recompile it with --disable-debug .

By default the debugger is enabled and it wont be helpful until you explicitly write the --disable-debug option.

You never want to uninstall PHP.
It's too crucial to ever contemplate removing.
