I'm trying to install PHP on my own webserver that's installed in a nonstandard directory on a university server, following these instructions: http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php I already had Apache installed and working before I started. I don't need MySQL, and Apache is running from inside my home directory, so in Step 5, I changed this line: ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql to ./configure --with-apxs2=/home/where/it/really/is/bin/apxs That appeared to work, so then I ran "make," which took a very long time. Then I tried the next step, "make install," and got all this: Installing PHP SAPI module: apache2handler /usr/local/pkg/apache/2.2.8/build/instdso.sh SH_LIBTOOL='/usr/local/pkg/apache/2.2.8/build/libtool' libphp5.la <http://libphp5.la> /usr/local/pkg/apache/2.2.8/modules /usr/local/pkg/apache/2.2.8/build/libtool --mode=install cp libphp5.la <http://libphp5.la> /usr/local/pkg/apache/2.2.8/modules/ cp .libs/libphp5.so /usr/local/pkg/apache/2.2.8/modules/libphp5.so cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/pkg/apache/2.2.8/modules/libphp5.so': Read-only file system apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536 . make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 It looks like that it's trying to copy files to a place that I already know I don't have permission on. How can I customize this step like the other one so it's aware of where Apache actually is, and finish the installation? Thanks, Emily
Is '/home/where/it/really/is' actually '/usr/local/pkg/apache/2.2.8/' in your case (though that would be a funny home dir!)? You really will need write access to the modules subdir. If not, try the old "rm config.cache && make clean' each time you run 'configure'. Though you didn't ask, if you want the rest of PHP to be installed in a non-standard location use the --prefix option to 'configure'.
