Are you asking me how to install all of this stuff? Well, you can
follow Michael's advice and use Kent's script, or you can use my build
script (which I'll include for you). Here are some notes on the build
script: 1) You must hack the variables at the top to match the packages
you have. 2) I find it "safer" to simply use your mouse to cut and
paste commands into a shell rather than simply executing this script
(babying the sccript reduces the chance of anything weird going wrong,
and there's a lot that could go wrong). 3) The syntax in the script is
appropriate for sh, bash, or zsh, but not csh, tcsh, etc. 4) You can
skip the PyApache stuff ;). 5) If any of this doesn't work, read the
appropriate INSTALL documents--that's how I came up with most of this
stuff--if you do find something wrong with the script, tell me.
Thanks,

# Description: This is a script to install Apache with the following
compiled
# in:
# o PHP4 (DSO with MySQL support)
# o PyApache (DSO)
# o mod_ssl (DSO based on open_ssl. Will install open_ssl.)
# Set these constants to the name of the packages mentioned above. Do
not add
# the .tar.gz to the end. These should all be in the current working
directory.
APACHE=apache_1.3.12
PHP=php-4.0.0
PYAPACHE=PyApache
OPENSSL=openssl-0.9.5a
MOD_SSL=mod_ssl-2.6.4-1.3.12
# Note, one of the most common mistakes that I've made is not having the
# MySQL libraries accessible. Normally, you can take care of this by
adding
# /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/mysql to /etc/ld.so.conf and then
running
# ldconfig.
