Dear Chris,
I did httpd -l and it shows "mod_so.c". Now I just need to install PHP 4.3.4
as a normal new fresh install ( './configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/'
'--with-config-file-path=/web/conf' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27/'
'--enable-track-vars') and that's it , no need to recompile apache and
mysql?
Many thanks
MJ

As you are not using apxs (look in the php manual for this) it looks
like your installation is not an Apache DSO module but compiled into
Apache itself. If you use the same configure command for PHP then you
will need to recompile Apache too. My experience with php begins with
RH7.2 but the above does not look like a normal RH installation of PHP.
If you do a "httpd -l" (that is the letter "l") as root and it shows
"mod_so.c" then Apache is compiled to use modules and you could chose to
compile PHP as a module. If it does not then you will need to recompile
Apache.

As Apache has mod_so.c it means that Apache can use modules (so there is
no need to recompile Apache). In order to get PHP to compile as a
module, you need to compile it with "--with-apxs" or "--with-apxs2"
for Apache 2. You will need the path to apxs. Look in the manual for the
exact configuration options or do "./configure --help". "locate apxs"
should tell you where apxs is located.
