Apache2 PHP4 rebuild etc - trap for young players GD mcrypt

Dear Users,

I wasted a lot of time on this - [stupid]

PHP ./config has not finished when you see the THANK YOU for USING PHP boxes after configure.

I wrote a script to rebuild it [php4] which was stopping during the –with-* list and not getting to the make make install.

in seeing the thank you boxes I assumed that that was the end…. [stupid].

If you can't find libphp4.so anywhere it means you have not finished the make make install. There are a few pages around google about libtool bugs etc which are erroneous.

This will affect about 0.6% of users but it is still handy to have a pointer here.

Happy Linoding
