install PHP4 without reinstall apache?

Anon

Hi, I'm currently running PHP3 but I think it's time to upgrade to PHP4. However, I don't want to reinstall my apache server again. Did any one do that before? Thanks for your help.

If you installed the previous one as a compiled in module, then you're screwed.

If it was an apache DSO, then smile!

Thanks. But how do I know that's compiled in module? Where can I find step by step instruction for doing upgrade?

u must have mod_so loaded by apache 1st, and apxs bin must exist

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

I have the problem of not having apxs exist. I didn't originally install apache. Does this mean the original installer did a binary install? I've been trying to compile mod_webapp and apxs is missing (damn).

I have Apache 1.3.19. Can I just do another install, or do I have to uninstall it 1st? Plus, can I do an upgradeable install?

Thanks in advance.
