I would even go as far as to suggest that you should just use the Synaptic Package Manager if you have Ubuntu installed. If you are just learning how to program in PHP then you should just go that route.

From what I understand, you are going to "use" PHP, but don't really have a need to "build" the PHP system from source. Perhaps you are following a HOWTO which is not so appropriate. You were runing ubuntu server already, correct? but 9.10 version? I googled for "installing php5 on ubuntu server" and found this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP Based on that... you would only need to install using the task named lamp-server, like this: sudo tasksel install lamp-server DK On 6/2/2010, "Randall Whitman" <909li...@whizman.com> wrote: >0.
