install error with PHP4.2.1 on RedHat7.3

[Anon]

I've seen lots of threads on these install errors, but no answer has solved my problem.

I'm trying to install PHP4.2.1 with Apache 1.3.23 on a RedHat Linux 7.3 machine.

From the php directory I deleted the config.cache and then ran ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs

and it compiled fine. I then ran make clean and it gave no errors. But when I ran make clean install, I get the error

make[1]: [install-sapi] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/wenjian/try_php/php-4.2.1'
make: [install-recursive] Error 1

Can anyone tell me how to fix this and get it installed correctly?

Thanks,

usually when u do make install, you have to be a superuser or root.
If u do, and it still caused a problem, try goto www.php.net and find troubleshooting for install php on red hat 7.3.
hope this helps ... 🙂

If you don't mind using an older version, goto redhat's site and follow their instructions for apache and php.
