apache is running, but no httpd.h

Anon

I am very new to all this...

I have apache running, because I am able to view my index.htm page from my other machine.

I am now trying to install php4, and it is unable to find 'httpd.h'. I went to the outer-most directory, and typed:
find -name "httpd.h"
...and it did not find the file. I assume that means I don't have one anywhere in my Linux machine.

Why would this be? Any ideas for a solution? Thanks so much!!!!

my guess is that you need to install the apache-dev rpm for your version of apache.

I'm guesing that like me you downloaded the binaries for apache and got it up and running like that. In which case you have no apache/src directory so therefore no httpd.h file so no php configuration

As a filthy hack of a solution i downloaded the apache src gunzipped and untarred it. then i copied the apache/src/include/httpd.h file across to where i had my original binaries and hey presto i suckerred php in configuring.

I suppose i should really abandon the apache binaries and install apache from source but i just spent 2 days installing the binaries so the idea of installing from src doesn't float my boat.
