i installed all packages on slackware 10.2 which includes apache 1.3.33. ive already upgraded the package for mysql 5 and i did not encounter any problems. i tried to upgrade the package for apache - i receivied errors. i looked around in the forums and was instructed to remove apache1 then installpkg apache 2. as you can see ive already downloaded apache2 to /apache2-2.0.55-i486-1jim.tgz

whats the correct command to remove apache1? so i can run
the command installpkg apache2-2.0.55-i486-1jim.tgz sucessfully?

Note: you may have to delete the files in /etc/apache automatically, unless you want to keep the configuration of course

thanks Doc

i did as you told and ran the command # removepkg apache-1.3.33-i486-1 and i also moved the original folder /etc/apache to a temporary directory i created
/home/TempFiles/apache

i ran the same find command to see what was installed - i was wondering if it looks correct, also the install package itself apache2-2.0.55-i486-1jim.tgz is still located in the / directory - can i run the command rm apache2-2.0.55-i486-1jim.tgz to delete it?
and the file for configuration is the file /etc/apache2?

ive already upgraded to my sql 5.0 - used www.linuxpackages.net - upgrade worked fine
now i have to upgrade to php 5, should i do the same thing - remove the original package and install the new one?

thanks for your help

my question is, do i move all the original files from apache to the apache2 folder?
and then try reinstalling php 5?

You can delete the apache-2.x.tgz package from / now.

/etc/apache2 is the directory for all configuration files associated with apache

No, don't move all the original files from apache to apache2, there may be some directives that are no longer valid in the new version.

By the way, how are you updating these packages?

PHP is compiled against a version of apache, so you'll need a php package for apache2. I would suggest a package from the same person that did apache2. Look in linuxpackages for a php package that ends in jim.tgz. There is such a package on linuxpackages.net, it goes by the name php-apache2

my root directory is as follows
i have both packages that i downloaded from www.linuxpackages.net
and theyre both from the same maker

when i installed apache2-2.0.55-i486-1jim.tgz
first thing i did was remove package # removepkg apache-1.3.33-i486-1
then i noticed that the /etc/apache folder was still there - so i moved it to a directory /home/TempFiles/apache
then i installed apache2 with command installpkg apache2-2.0.55-i486-1jim.tgz
it installed perfectly and has a folder /etc/apache2
next i removepkg for php.
my next step was to install the php-5.0.5-i486-4jim.tgz
i did intstallpkg php-5.0.5-i486-4jim.tgz
and i got this error.....

when i look at the original apache folder /home/TempFiles/Apache
i find the file php.ini

should i move that file to apache2 folder? and uninstall pakage and then reinstall package? - im assuming by this install, it didnt correctly install?
did i do something worng?

What are the contents of /etc/apache2 now, it is possible the required file is there but named differently. Also that isn't a fatal error, you should be able to start apache with php enabled and php will use default configuration values

the information on the folders for apache and apache2 are listed in an earlier post, thats why i was wondering if i should move some of the original fils from apache to the apache2 folder. if you were to look at the apache folder, it contains the file thats coming up with the error when i try to install php
should i move the php files from apache to apache2

thanks for your help

Well, the folder listing you gave was before you installed the new version of php.

Check /etc/apache2 for mod_php.conf or mod_php.conf.example, if the file mod_php.conf.example exists rename it to mod_php.conf and make sure httpd.conf has the following line somewhere in it:
Once that is done try and start apache, lets forget about php.ini for now and let php use its default values. Once it is working you can then think about tweaking php
