Hi, I guess your problem may be caused by apache.
Since the apache on Mac OS X Server is "optimized", they are separated into parts and put in several locations, so it is very hard to upgrade apache(Actually I don't know how to). You can use the update from Mac OS X Server, it will update your apache to 1.3.26. Is that enough for you? To install php-4.3.1, you can igore the orginal php of Mac OS X Server. What I did is download php-4.3.1 source from php.net, and put it in the /usr/local/php, then compile, ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-apxs --with-pdflib=/usr/local/pdflib/bind/c --with-zlib --with-tiff-dir=/usr/local/PHP --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/PHP --with-png-dir=/usr/local/PHP --with-mysql If you don't need pdflib, just delete the pdf,jpeg,png. Then make, make install. Be sure to install gcc by using the Develop tool disc which should come with your package.(If not, it should come with Mac OS X) By using the Server Setting to restart your webserver, the php should run normally. Since php-4.3.1 turns off the register_globals, you can turn it on by following the instructions in php.net. Hope it would be helpful.
