Hi,

I have a dedicated server, it currently has Apache 2 and PHP 4.2.x installed on it. I'm trying to install PHP 4.3.11 on it.

I have compiled PHP 4.3.11 on the machine, but Apache is still using the old version. I think this is because I didn't specify --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs. I didn't do it, because I don't know the path to apxs. I can't find it anywhere on the server.

I still have an httpd.conf file and everything.... and a directory for modules.... but I can't for the life of me find the path to apxs so that PHP ./configure can create the libphp4.so file.....

Don't know what to do now...

Please help!

Run

Code:

updatedb
locate apxs

to find apxs.

updatedb and locate don't seem to be installed on my system...

Any hints?

Run yast and install the package findutils-locate. Afterwards, updatedb and locate will be on your system.

That did the trick.

Thanks!

I did the above information to find path to apxs. All I get is path to

/var/www/manual/programs/apxs.html.ko.euc-kr
/var/www/manual/programs/apxs.html.en
/var/www/manual/programs/apxs.html

I cannot find th epath to apxs.

I am running Redhat Enterprise 4 ES

You must install the apache-devel package.
I'm not quite sure if RHEL uses yum or up2date as package manager. If it's yum, you can run

Code:

yum search apache

to find the apache-devel package, and you can install it with

Code:

yum install <package_name>

I don't know the syntax for up2date, so you better check with

Code:

man up2date

Thanks for the reply.
It looks like RHEL4 uses up2date.
However, there is no apache-devel package available for RHEL4.

Looks like I will be compiling Apache manually myself...and just not use the default apache package that installs with Redhat.

thanks.
