I'd take a copy of php.ini. Then put a phpinfo.php file in you document
root (with "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" in it) and look at it with your
browser. At the top will be all the configure options used. Use the same
options for your php 4.3.4.
If possible, I suggest you use an rpm for RH7 to install it, but as
RH7.0 really is old now there may not be one available. If possible, I'd
be tempted to upgrade/reinstall RH too to get all the security updates.

Many thanks for your prompt response.No response received yet so again

Actually upgrade linux is not possible immediately. I can work on it later
on. Phpinfo.php is giving this info. Can you you tell me an start point so
that i can start to upgrade.

As you are not using apxs (look in the php manual for this) it looks
like your installation is not an apache DSO module but compiled into
Apache itself. If you use the same configure command for PHP then you
will need to recompile apache too. My experience with php begins with
RH7.2 but the above does not look like a normal RH installation of PHP.
If you do a "httpd -l" (that is the letter "l") as root and it shows
"mod_so.c" then apache is compiled to use modules and you could chose to
compile PHP as a module. If it does not then you will need to recompile
Apache.

| Dear Chris,
I did httpd -l and it shows "mod_so.c". Now I just need to install PHP 4.3.4
as a normal new fresh install ( './configure' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/'
'--with-config-file-path=/web/conf' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27/'
'--enable-track-vars') and that's it , no need to recompile apache and
mysql?
Many thanks
MJ

As apache has mod_so.c it means that apache can use modules (so there is
no need to recompile Apache). In order to get PHP to compile as a
module, you need to compile it with "--with-apxs" or "--with-apxs2"
for apache 2. You will need the path to apxs. Look in the manual for the
exact configuration options or do "./configure --help". "locate apxs"
should tell you where apxs is located.

| Hi,
As per the phpinfo.php the original installation was with "./configure'
'--with-mysql=/usr/local/' '--with-config-file-path=/web/conf'
'--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27/' '--enable-track-vars' , now adding new
thing "--with-apxs" will not effect the exiting sites? As I have several
live sites running on this server.
Many Thanks,
MJ

If the original configuration did not use apxs then it was compiled into
Apache httpd, not as a module. In this case you will need to recompile
Apache httpd too, or it will continue to use the older version.
As with all things, it is best to try out changes on a test/development
server and not live, just in case something does not go right.

| HI Chris,
Is it possible to switch now from Static to Dynamic Mode? in this case
installation of PHP with apxs will be enough or in any case I need to
recompile Apache. I have gone through several sites and now I assumes that
even I am running PHP in static mode, once I will upgrade PHP with apxs it
will be configured as dynamic and no changes will be required to apache. am
I right?
Thanks for your continuous help
MJ

Yes, as you have mod_so there it is. You then do not need to recompile
Apache httpd. You will need to put the resulting php compiled module
(libphp4.so) into the right directory and edit your httpd.conf file to
get httpd to parse php files.
If you look in httpd.conf for LoadModule lines you can see where your
httpd server expects modules to be. In the INSTALL file in your php
source directory are instructions for adding the AddType, LoadModule and
AddModule lines as necessary. Note this is slightly different if you
have an apache httpd V2 rather than V1.3.x version. The archives of this
list will also have this explained (several times I would think).

| Thanks, here is the steps what I have done , and in the end sucked. Please
have a look and advise.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------
# httpd -l
Compiled-in modules:
http_core.c
mod_so.c
suexec: disabled; invalid wrapper /usr/sbin/suexec
# find / -name apxs -print
/usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/apxs
#./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/ --with-config-file-path=/web/conf/ --w
ith-apxs=/usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/apxs --enable-track-vars
Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons:
1. Perl is not installed;
2. apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);
3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
The output of /usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/apxs follows
apxs:Error: Sorry, no DSO support for apache available
apxs:Error: under your platform. Make sure the Apache
apxs:Error: module mod_so is compiled into your server
apxs:Error: binary `/usr/local/etc/httpd/bin/httpd'.
configure: error: Aborting
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
I don't know apache was compiled with DSO support or no but when I run
"httpd -l", output shown "mod_so.c" is included in the list. Perl is also
available.
In case apache was not compiled with DSO who can I recomile it now without
effecting my all virtual hosts (live customers sites).
Many Thanks.
MJ.

Which version of apache httpd. For V2.x you need to specify --with-apxs2
rather than --with-apxs.
