If you are loading this package into a non-standard place, you need to set the configure flags to set where the php.ini file will be looked for after your installation (among other things). I've modified my previous post's directions to add a few more configure flags. This is what I've used: ./configure --without-mysql \ --with-apxs=/site/apache/bin/apxs \ --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl \ --with-config-file-path=/site/lib \ --with-exec-dir=/site/bin \ --with-pear=/site \ Remember that after you run the configure script, you still need to edit config.status, config_vars.mk, and the Makefile with the changes that I outlined in the previous message to get PHP to make cleanly in the right spots. --Jill Reese -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
