Re: [cobalt-users] update PHP 4.0.5

[johan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I found this at http://webhostingtalk.com (under the Cobalt forum, thread is
called "PHP update for RaQ 4i" :

>>>>>>>>>>

I use this method on all my servers, in 10 mins you'll have 4.0.5 installed. 

 tar zxvf php4.0.4pl1.tar.gz 
 cd php-4.0.4pl1 
 ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-zlib --with-ftp 
 make 
 make install 
 cd /etc/httpd/conf 
 pico httpd.conf 
 ## change the loadmodule of php4 to: 
 LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so 
 ## it could also be duplicate 
 ## save httpd.conf 
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart 
 ## you can check if it runs through: 
 ## telnet localhost 80 
 ## HEAD / HTTP/1.0 
 ## 2x enter 
 ## read the Server: line.

>>>>

Haven't seen anything on that forum about the --with-mysql problem you've
mentioned below.

Rgrds,
