i've downloaded apache-1.3.28 and php-4.3.4. i uncompress them after that i configure apache using:

#./configure --prefix=/www

and than change directory to php-x and do:

#./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=../apache-x --enable-track-vars
#make
#make install

everything is done ok, but after that i cd to apache-x, and do:

#./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libmodphp4.a

and than:

#make

and here the problem appeares. something happens during the installation. could anyone try compiling the source code of apache + php, and if he'd manage to do so, plz tell me where do i make a mistake.

If you are running Redhat, you might want to try to make a rpm file instead of just compiling it.

Download and install the source rpm <name>.src.rpm, then go into /usr/src/RPM/SPECS/ and check out the <name>.spec file to make sure if has all of the options (--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=../apache-x --enable-track-vars in this case) you want, then just run:

rpm -ba <name>.spec

It will compile it and give you a nice new rpm file (source file too) that you can install on your box, and have it to share/reload/whatever.

Getting a source file means that someone else has already compiled it, so any compile bugs have hopefully been worked out.



Oh, what is the error you're getting, btw?
