Hi!
I want to install PHP 4 via RPM on a CentOS 5 server. I downloaded the CentOS 4.5 , installed all needed dependency packages, but I'm having troubles while building the RPM:
I was having compile errors with the Apache APR module, I had to make a symlink form apr-config to apr-1-config, since the package expected to find apr-config which didn't exist, and had to pass via CFLAGS the result of "apr-config --cppflags --includes --cflags"
Now I reach a stage, where some test are made, I to check fo some PHP bugs and it fails there... I removed the first bug giving probelsm to see what happened, and failed with another one, which it's really strange, bugs like the #23951 which was solved in June 2003... I don;t understand why is this happening.. :(
Has anyone been able to compile a PHP 4 RPM on CentOS 5 or are there any available SRPMs out there already prepared for this?
I've compiled PHP 4.4.7 from source downloaded form php.net with no problems, but I would like to install it via RPM, preferably by using the CentOS PHP 4 RPM. If there isn't, I will compile directly form source and not use RPM, but would prefer to do it via RPM if possible
Thanks in advance,
Juan
PS: please, don't reply telling me to use PHP 5, I NEED to use PHP 4 on this case, will migrate to PHP 5 ASAP, but still can not do it yet :)

how about setting up a CentOS-4 VM on the C5 machine and just using that ? will atleast give you package management ability and let you host php-4 on the machine without needing to loose the c5 host.

no, don't want to add that complexity and overhead to the box....

you are probably adding more complexity and a lot more manual overhead by going down the route of building the php-4 src.rpm ... but thats just my opinion.

mmh oks, I'll then compile directly from the PHP 4.4.7 source downloaded form php.net and use it with no RPM when we are ready to migrate to PHP 5 I then use the PHP 5 RPM
thnx

Well ... if you want php 4, then use centos-4.5 ... unless you are using the centos-4.5 version of all things that php compiles against (httpd, apr, etc.) then you are going to have nothing but problems trying to downgrade the version.
