Hi Graeme, you're on the right way, --prefix is the answer. You should try this: ./configure --prefix=/home/yourloginname/apache ... ./configure --prefix=/home/yourloginname/php \ --with-apxs=/home/yourloginname/apache/bin/apxs ... for both apache and php respectively (obviously you won't be able to start/restart apache, if it is not yours ...). php and apache will install their stuff into your home directory. note that you must specify your own apxs if building php as a module.
