Install PHP on Apache Server

[unixkid]

Have Solaris 8 server (apache comes pre-loaded) with apache up and running. How do you load PHP after the fact, the PHP web site really deals with Apache/PHP installs from scratch.

Just compile the php module, and then activate it on the apache server....

I would suggest something like this:
php with apache install: (apache and php src files in same directory /apache_1.x.x /php-4.0.4pl1


cd ../path/to/php-4.0.4pl1
./configure --with-prefix=/path/to/php --with-apache=../path/to/apache_1.x.x
make
make install

cd ../path/to/apache apache_1..x
./configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
make
make install

It would almost be better to remove the current apache and compile the new one...
