installing php5 beta 4

[Rob Ristroph]

Has anyone built the PHP5 beta 4 as an apache module ? I am using
apache 2.

Is there some trick, or missing instructions, or known bug ? Perhaps
you have to use some version of apache earlier than 2.0.48, the
current latest ?

I have built php4 before without problems. After trying a variety of
things and never getting a libphp5.so, I am at a loss as to how to go
about this. (When I did a configure without using the --with-apxs2,
and instead did a --with-apache=/path/apache_1.3/, I think it made the
right Makefiles to make a module, but I'm not running apache 1.3 I'm
running apache 2.)

If I could at least confirmation that someone out there did it, I can
post the various steps and configure lines for php and apache that I
tried. Right now I think the next step is to start fiddling with the
build system.

I've compiled PHP 5 beta 4 for Apache 2.0.48 (on Linux). I did:
../configure --disable-cgi --with-apxs2filter
make
make install

It all worked fine.

This configure line produced a libphp5.so for me also ! I now have to
figure out what in my more complicated configure command was wrong.
Maybe I can get away with just using yours if it includes all the
features be default.

For what it's worth, I am using RedHat 9, with apache and the apr and
mod_* rpms updated from here:
