Okay, here is the definitive RAQ 3 guide to installing PHP. Its pretty
painless when you do it this way, and I've had it put onto our raq's for
a while now and never had a problem:

1>	download from php.net
2>	untar, run configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --enable-ftp
		(change the configure params, as per your needs)

3>	make
4>	edit with vi or pico the file   /usr/sbin/apxs
		Line 80:
		my $CFG_SBINDIR = '/usr/sbin';
                                    ^  make sure it points to /usr/sbin
not /usr/bin

Also:

		Line 203:
		($rc, @ARGV) = &Getopts("qn:gco:I+D+L+l+S+W+iaA",
@ARGV);
		This line should read as I have above. Normally its:
		($rc, @ARGV) = &Getopts("qn:gco:I+D+L+l+W+iaA", @ARGV);
			[in other words, remove the +S ]

5>	make install

6>	edit with pico or vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
	Add or uncomment:
		LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so

7>	Edit with pico or vi /etc/httpd/conf/srm.conf

	add in or uncomment:

	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
	AddType application/x-httpd-php .htm



8>	Save files and restart apache with /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd
restart

That should get your php going!
