Yes I saw that but many times Redhat won't update the actual version number but will backport the fixes from later releases. There is no official 4.2.2-13 version from the PHP folks either. > However, PHP is big and hairy and insanely configurable, and even if I > took the time to package it up would anyone else actually be happy with > my configuration choices? That's why you also provide a good SRPM ;-) -- Brian

That nitpick aside, I take your point - in an ideal world we'd all have time to do things properly, and the fruits of our packaging labours would flow back to the rest of the community. However, PHP is big and hairy and insanely configurable, and even if I took the time to package it up would anyone else actually be happy with my configuration choices? I know this attitude is short-sighted, and I have a lot of respect for people who do put the effort into package creation. But sadly, in an environment where time is (someone else's) money, kludges sometimes make the best sense.

If by "easiest" you mean "easiest way to break your native package management". Everyone: Please, please, please stop telling the Redhat (and RPM) newbies to build everything from source only. If you want to break your package management, build from source (./configure; make; make install) New RPM users, please learn how to build your own RPM's instead.

This is what I do on our RH7 webservers, and it works fine with the Apache RPMs (although you will need to install apache-devel so PHP can find the APXS tool, and you may need other -devel packages so it can find headers). An alternative would be to take an SRPM from another distribution (www.rpmfind.net lists a few) and do an rpm --recompile, but that may introduce subtle problems of its own. -- Simon Brady mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ITS Technical Services University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand
PHP 4.2.3 for Redhat 7.3
Dear All, I'm in a process of setting up Postfix-Cyrus-Web-Cyradm on Redhat 7.3 Server. As per Mr Luc's Howto, PHP-4.2.3 is needed, but RH 7.3 is shipped with PHP-4.1.2-7. I could not able to find RPM in the internet. Can anyone help regarding the same? Thanks in anticipation A Ravi Babu ICFAI, Hyderabad IndiaDo you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
