The interesting thing about Apache DSO is that if you ever need to recompile PHP - maybe to include support for new extensions or disable certain features to make it run faster - you can simply install the newly-compiled module to the Apache modules/ directory, and restart the server for it to become active. You don't need to recompile Apache from scratch, which can save a great deal of time.
I've been through this process several times following directions from a couple of different sites, and these are by far the best instructions I've found. Thank you! Hug? Hey, where are you going?
I hit a minor snag when following the steps: my Fedora Core 3 box didn't seem to have libpng installed by default. This made the PHP ./configure process fail.
No biggie, however; I grabbed the latest version from , referred to the INSTALL file and used pretty much the same process from this article for installing zlib, and ./configure was happy. PHP installed like a champ after that.
I also have to say that installing Apache this way feels much better to me than the typical RPM/yum install does--this article's method puts everything in places that are the same as on the Solaris systems I worked on for six years. I had to get used to /var/www/html instead of /usr/...apache2/htdocs/, which is what I cut my teeth on. Nice to be 'back home'.
