My version of Centos (4.4) comes with php 4.3.9. Since I run Interbase on the server, I need to recompile the php with Interbase. The only php I have found is 4.4 which I have downloaded and untarred as well as configuring it with Interbase, doing the make and make install.
Where I am lost is on having Apache (httpd) use it rather than the 4.3.9 ( http://209.204.172.137:82/testphp.php ).
When I do the make install, where does it go?
Why not save yourself a ton of grief and rebuild the .srpm that came with your version of CentOS?
Regards,
This is strange as I have downloaded PHP 4.4.x from PHP.net and recompiled it on about 5 CentOS 4.4. boxes without problems - once I had all the dependencies sorted :-) - I've got it down to about a 10 minute job now.
Assuming by "downloaded from PHP.net" you mean you got the tarball and did it, congratulations, you just ruined the entire point of a Package-Managed system.
See http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/SourceInstalls for why you shouldn't do that.
