1) make sure dso support is enabled in apache. "/usr/sbin/httpd -l" should list mod_so.c as a built in module.

2) if you're using rpms to install apache, don't forget to install the apache-devel rpm

try the --with-apxs compile option but don't specify a path. if apache is setup correctly the php defaults wil be fine on most boxes.

FYI, apxs is located under /usr/bin, so you could specify something like this --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs. This should work as well.

I've used Apache 1.3.19 with DSO enabled.
And I've already used mod_perl.so, mod_layout.so, mod_ssl.so as DSO modules.

Now I tried to compile fresh released PHP 4.0.5 as DSO module too:

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/php \
--with-mysql=/usr/mysql \
--with-apxs=/usr/apache/bin/apxs \
--enable-track-vars \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/php/conf

but have always errors:
--with-apxs=/usr/apache/bin/apxs: not found
--enable-track-vars: not found

what's wrong, where is the errors? All pathes correct and exists, checked, apxs exists also... Of course all components already installed and worked, apxs and so on...

I've explore entire source directory for php 4.0.5 but not found 'enable-track-vars' in 'configure' script.

Should I use older version of php ?
