PHP install problem, please help. Attempting to use the instructions below to install PHP
Install PHP4 Version -4.2.3 (1)cd /usr/local/src (2) wget http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.2.3.tar.gz (3) tar -xzvf php-4.2.3.tar.gz (4) cd php-4.2.3 (5) ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-ftp --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl/ (6) make (7) edit /usr/sbin/apxs (this may not be necessary, try skiping, comeback if errors) Please help on this PHP problem. I am using a Cobalt RaQ3 and have downloaded the php-4.2.3.tar.gz file. However, when I attempt to perform step (3) shown above of the install process, I get the following error: [root@ns2 src]# tar -xzvf php-4.2.3.tar.gz php-4.2.3/build/bsd_makefile php-4.2.3/build/build.mk php-4.2.3/build/build2.mk php-4.2.3/build/buildcheck.sh php-4.2.3/build/dynlib.mk php-4.2.3/build/fastgen.sh php-4.2.3/build/genif.sh php-4.2.3/build/library.mk php-4.2.3/build/ltlib.mk php-4.2.3/build/mkdep.awk php-4.2.3/build/print_include.awk php-4.2.3/build/program.mk php-4.2.3/build/rules.mk php-4.2.3/build/rules_common.mk php-4.2.3/build/rules_pear.mk php-4.2.3/build/shtool php-4.2.3/build/sysv_makefile php-4.2.3/configure tar: Skipping to next file header gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [root@ns2 src]# It also does the same thing with PHP version 4.0.6. Additionally, I installed PHP 4.2.3 as a .pkg but it doesn't show up as a process nor does it recognize test.php from the browser. Would appreciate if anyone has any insight on this matter.
