Hi Chris,
I got install both Apache and PHP. Now I can see the php information
with the web browse when I open the "phpinfo.php" page. I decide use Apache
version 1.3.27 and PHP version 4.2.3. For some reason the version that I
used before didn't work (or maybe need more configuration that I don't
know).
I decide use the source code and not RPM because I want to know "more
detail" about installation. Maybe later I will install others versions and
see If there's problems.
Thanks,
Hamilton Keity Rokukawa
