I assume you are using the pre-packaged PHP and Apache components (ala .rpm or .deb) If so, I would strongly suggest building both of these from the source. I build Apache and PHP from the source all the time because it gives me far greater control over how they are built and what's included. Typically, the preconfigured rpm stuff has problems beyond the "plain vanilla" expectations of those who create those packages. Here, I offer my typical configure settings for both to get you started. They are configured for a Red Hat/Fedora Core system. Modify at will to suit your tastes. You can, of course, download the source from the PHP and Apache websites. The big advantage of building these pups from the source is that the configure script automatically scans your system to see what's available, and will balk if it can't find something it absolutely needs, and typically configure alternatives if it can. Another big advantage is that you don't have to wait for the latest releases to find their way into the rpms or the debs. One of my scripts does a 'make' and a 'make install' after running 'configure'. You may consider removing the 'make' commands and run them manually. In short, make sure the scripts fits your needs before running them. As far as MySQL, I still rely on the .rpms but may get into building even that from the source, eventually.
