Not at all. Assuming you don't want to install this stuff with apt-get: wget php 4.1.0, upack it into /usr/local/src wget apache 1.3.22, unpack it into /usr/local/src install postgres with apt-get or wget it and install it first. This is very basic, but it should get it installed. [tab] means literally hit tab, and assuming you do not have apache already installed: $ cd /usr/local/src/php[tab] $ ./configure --with-apache=../apa[tab] --with-pgsql=/usr (if you installed postgres from non-debian sources, --with-pgsql=/usr/local) $ su # make install # exit $ cd ../apache[tab] $ ./configure \ --server-uid=www \ --server-gid=www \ --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a $ su # make install # groupadd www # useradd www # exit Then make sure the ouput of `/path/to/httpd -l' includes mod_php If apache is already installed, replace --with-apache=/path in PHP's configure with --with-apxs (with no path) and `make install' for PHP should install PHP as a shared module instead. If you installed apache from non-debian source, use /etc/init.d/skeleton to create your own rc script for it. Then use update-rc.d to install it. man 8 update-rc.d -- Brian Clark | Debian GNU/Linux: 3950 packages to keep you busy.
