A client has requested us to install freetds on our freebsd/cpanel box.,

As of now (and most of you will obviously know), the php module included with apache is compiled as follows:

./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--with-mysql' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib'

Our client requires it to be compiled as follows: (this example is taken from a redhat compile thus the obvious things will differ)

./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php --enable-force-cgi-redirect --disable-debug --enable-pic --disable-rpath --enable-inline-optimization --with-db4 --with-dom=/usr --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin --with-freetype-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-gd --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-ttf --with-gdbm --with-gettext --with-ncurses --with-gmp --with-iconv --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png --with-regex=system --with-xml --with-expat-dir=/usr --with-zlib --with-layout=GNU --enable-bcmath --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-magic-quotes --enable-safe-mode --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-discard-path --enable-track-vars --enable-trans-sid --enable-wddx --with-mssql=/usr/local/FreeTDS --with-pcre-regex --with-mysql=shared --enable-memory-limit --enable-bcmath --enable-shmop --

AFAIK I cannot do this the way the things are at the moment.

What options do I have to be able to achieve this? What is the possibility of rebuilding Apache _without_ mod_php, and then installing php seperatly and then adding what needs adding to apaches conf ?

Any help or suggestions on this matter are hightly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Rob.
