Cant Compile a CGI Binary outside of WHM :-(

[meridianblade]

Hey guys!

Im having some real issues trying to get php to compile outside of Apache Update.

Maybe you can take a look at my steps and see whats going wrong? I am trying to compile php 4.4.4 as fastCGI but it wont stick:

wget http://us2.php.net/get/php-4.4.4.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror
tar xjvf php-4.4.4.tar.bz2
cd php-4.4.4

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php4-fcgi --with-xml --enable-bcmath --enable-calendar --with-curl --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --enable-magic-quotes --with-mysqli --with-mysql=/usr --enable-discard-path --with-pear --with-pspell --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars --enable-versioning --with-zip --with-zlib --enable-fastcgi --enable-force-cgi-redirect --disable-cli

make
make install

/usr/local/php5-fcgi/bin/php -v gives me:

PHP 4.4.3 (cli) (built: Dec 15 2006 22:38:47)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2004 Zend Technologies

    with Zend Optimizer v2.6.2, Copyright (c) 1998-2006, by Zend Technologies

I noticed that it still says PHP 4.4.3 (cli) and not PHP 4.4.3 (fastCGI) but it creates a binary in /usr/local/php4-fcgi/bin. I already have fastCGI setup and ready to go as an apache_mod so I think the issue is me not being able to make my server use that specific fastCGI binary. Please let me know if im completely wrong here. I've just tried to get this to work for about a week now and no ones been able to help me :-(

Update:
I changed my config from --prefix=/usr/local/php4-fcgi to --prefix=/usr and ran make / make install and then all my pages returned 500's. So I had to rebuild the site through apache update to fix it.

Thanks for the help!

here's my php info file http://www.crgn.net/network/info.php

The phpinfo page shows that the serverAPI is FastCGI .

Thanks for responding!

I did get it to compile, but I cant get fastCGI to work with php now, here's what's in my .conf

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
FastCgiSuExec /usr/local/apache/bin/suexec
FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc/
FastCgiConfig -autoUpdate -singleThreshold 100 -killInterval 300 -idle-timeout $
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php.fcgi"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .phtml
</IfModule>

and in php.fcgi

#!/bin/sh
PHPRC="/usr/local/Zend/etc/php.ini"
export PHPRC
PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN=4
export PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN
exec /usr/bin/php

I just don't understand why it's not working, my guess would be something with the Action and AddType not being correct?

Any help is appricated! im so close to getting this to work!
