Do I need to run:
./configure -myoptions
make
make install
? And this will sound like a really silly question but how do I find out what directory to run that in? I've been looking everywhere on my server to find where php is installed but to no avail!
will phpinfo() tell me?
many thanks
You may have it installed via a package manager. If so and you want to add some extra php bolt on you just need to
yum install php-bolton
or
apt-get php-bolton
the ./configure make make install is used when you download and unpack the php tar file. Get the file from php.net unzip and untar it and then navigate to the install directory and run from there.
Probably your client library is incompatible with the server version you use!
Take a look at what is already installed
yum list ¦grep php
yum list ¦grep mysql
note the ¦grep is the broken pipe character and word grep
If php and mysql were installed via yum packages then they should be listed there. But it could be the case they were compiled manually.
