Hello Tom Cruickshank: re: mysql -related install of apache and php4 ----- I'm running *BSD, not Linux, but very recently installed Apache with PHP, from source. I usually make a shell script, and check it through for all the steps, then run the script. I had saved the script, so maybe this will help. You can do a configure --help to determine other parameters. NOTE --- if this is an upgrade of apache, be sure to copy off your present httpd.conf. I had saved mine to a directory which I've called here SAFEDIR.
