I recently got this going with RedHat 6.1 (so I could test out IMP). I
used the standard RH RPMs for apache (you need to install apache-devel
also), installed the RPMs for MySQL from mysql.org and built php3 from
source. The main problem I had was that the PHP configure assumes mysql
is in /usr/local but the rpm is unstalled under /usr... so you need to
use:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr ...
make
make install
and everything works... almost! The install puts an extra line in
httpd.conf. The line it adds is incorrect so you need to delete it and
just uncomment the other lines for php3 which are already in the default
httpd.conf.
Overall it was much easier than I thought it was going to be :-)
Oh.. One other thing. the php make install puts php3.ini in
/usr/local/lib which is a bit "out there". There may be a configure
option to fix this but I didn't bother.
