Where to get and comile PHP/Apache/MySQL

SoI want to use PHP6 beta on my ubuntu server, but it is desktop eddition. Would I download the source files from their site and compile those, or something else.

Also is the compiling automatic.

I need this info for apache 2.2.3 and MySQL 5.0.22

thanks for the help

You have to download the source code for the beta from php.net and compile it yourself. If you have never done this before take a look at the installation docs available at php.net as well as this article at hostlibrary.

Get Apache ( I assume you mean the Apache httpd server) from http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi, and MySQL from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html (selecting for your architecture as appropriate)

Once you've got 'em, unzip 'em and read the INSTALL file. That'll tell you how to build them - it'll be some permutation of:
# ./configure
# make
# make install

Pay attention to the additional configuration options...

Cheers,
Jon

Yes. Most distros won't ship beta releases of php thats why you will have to do this yourself on any distro.
