Hello, I have two servers that need updated PHP on them. Unfortuantely, I can't afford the CPU cycles and disk space to compile them locally.
I have a test server that has plenty of space. It runs the same OS (roughly) and has a pretty similar layout. RH6.2 compat.
If I install the modules on the test server and compile PHP with apxs support, can I just move the php files over to the new server?
Assuming I can do that, can I also build the modules INTO php so that I don't have to copy them over to the server? This may not be clear. I don't mind having php/modules/*.so, but I don't want to copy PDF lib, or JPEG (and etc.) over to the new server. It currently has older libraries up there that are being used by current apps and I don't want to disturb them. Likewise, some of my filesystems are a little full, and I don't want to upload things if not necessary.
I actually have compiled apps for different servers before, but I don't work with shared libs very often. Sorry if this seems like a simple question.
Thanks for your help,
Matt
