Hi,
I'm trying to configure php4 to run alongside postgresql and apache. Postgres and apache are already installed and running, but I am getting an error when doing:

I'm sure the path to apache is fine. I'd appreciate any advice. Thank you.

What OS? What shell are you running?

try running

Code:

sh ./configure ...

Hi Frank,
This is what I have in place.
OS: Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-54
shell: /bin/bash

I tried:
sh ./configure...
Same results, invalid apache directory.
How do I know if I need to install the shared or the static version?
Thanks in advance.

Can you confirm that the apache is install is at /usr/local/apache ? What does ls -lart /usr/local/apache show?

Thanks Frank for get back to the post.
1)Checked httpd.conf out and it shows the top of directory tree:
/usr/local/apache

2) ls -lart /usr/local/apache

Are the php extensions the ones I suppose to use?
