For guidance, here are the configure files I use for each: Apache ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max You'll possibly have apache in a different place so may need to change the value for prefix. PHP #! /bin/sh # # Created by configure "./configure" \ "--enable-debug=no" \ "--enable-gd-imgstrttf" \ "--enable-gd-nativett" \ "--enable-sysvsem=yes" \ "--enable-sysvshm=yes" \ "--enable-track-vars=yes" \ "--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs" \ "--with-config-file-path" \ "--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf" \ "--with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6" \ "--with-gd=/usr/local/src/gd-2.0.1" \ "--with-jpeg-dir=/usr" \ "--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql" \ "--with-png-dir=/usr" \ "--with-xml" \ "--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6" \ "--with-zlib" \ "--with-zlib-dir=/usr" \ "$@" #"--with-mnogosearch" \ The two things you need specifically here are --with-apxs which allows the loadable module to be built, and the two with-config-file entries. The latter of these points to the directory where you have installed apache configuration files, and allows the php install process to find the apache config file and add the necessary entries to get php up and running. So the order of play is Apache configure make make install optionally start to ensure its all working PHP configure make make install Apache restart to re-read the config file That should get you up and running. I just did the php part earlier today to upgrade my laptop to 4.2.2 and it only took a few minutes.
