I am new to Linux and have NEVER compiled PHP. I have PHP 5 and need to
compile it with MS SQL support. Per PHP docs, I installed FreeTDS and tested
it and it works. Now I need to (re)compile PHP to get the support I need to
access MS SQL databases. I am on a Ubuntu 6.06 version of Linux.
Again, PLEASE keep in mind that I am new to all of this. I tread VERY softly
doing this! (I am on a VMWare virtual server and have made a clone drive as
a backup.)
Am I correct that my first step is to see what is already compiled into my
version of PHP using php -m? I have that list.
I assume that my next step is to get the PHP source for PHP 5.1.4. From
here on I do not understand clearly by reading the docs I have searched for
on the Internet through Google. Is there a place that has a VERY clear, step
by step process to compile PHP?
The install file in the tarball is pretty good.
Basically:
./configure --with-all-of-your-options
when that finishes,
make
when that finishes,
make install
once that's complete, you should just be able to restart your webserver.
