Installing from Source

Installing from source is quite easy. I recently installed Apache 2.2 and PHP  
5.2 from source. (It just took some time for me to get the correct Apache and  
PHP versions combination.)

All you do is place the folder with the source code in /usr/local/src.

In the source folder, check if there is an executable called configure or  
config, then type the following at the terminal inside the source folder:

$ ./configure

When that is done, type:

$ make

Then:

$ make install
