It seems like this would be a FAQ, but I haven't found an answer in the FAQ, the archives, Google, etc.If the current php4 install is an apache DSO module, then just build your new php5 DSO and replace reference to 'libphp4.so' in httpd.conf with 'libphp5.so'. I like to build php from source so i can configure it the way i like and include the modules i want.
I have a new server on which I've installed Fedora Core 2. This is just a small server on which I will host a few small mailing lists and web sites. Mostly it is a platform that I will use to learn PHP, and PHP5 seems like a good place to start for a C++ OOP programmer.
My questions are what the procedure is for installing PHP5 from source on a system that has Apache2 and PHP 4.3.8 installed from RPMs (as part of the OS install)?
Can I use the default (i.e. RPM) version of Apache or do I need to install it from source? I'm aware of the warnings against Apache2 in a production environment, so we can ignore that issue for now.
Do I need to uninstall the PHP 4.3.8 RPMs? If I do, will I run into dependency issues down the road when other packages are updated? Or can I leave the existing PHP stuff alone and just point to the new PHP in my Apache config files?
I'm something of a Linux newbie, but less so every day. Thanks for any help you can provide.
