PHP5 Won't Install

[Deleted member 26294]

Hi, I've been trying to upgrade my PHP from 4.x to 5.x using WHM but it refuses to work... I'm just doing a basic Apache Update, all the usual options checked and it seems like it works ok but it gives 2 errors during the install:

make [@php-5.1.4]...(-j 2 clean).... Done

make [@php-5.1.4]...(-j 2).... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done

make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

make [@php-5.1.4]...(install).... . . Done


make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start: httpd started

After that, none of my PHP pages work.. it just pops up a dialogue box and asks me to save/open the file. Which means that PHP isn't being recognized by the server, but I have no idea how to fix it. I haven't been able to find much by googling either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry, I wasn't sure what to search for... But thanks for that link. It doesn't seem to work though, when I try changing directories to "/usr/lib/mysql", it says there is no such directory. How can I find where it is on my server? I'm using CentOS 4.2 (64bit) if that helps at all. Thanks!

EDIT: nevermind, i found it! Apparently, it's /usr/lib64/mysql for 64-bit OSs... wish I knew that last night! :P Now let's see if it works...

Awesome, it worked! Thanks so much! I got a question though... does this need to be done every time I recompile Apache? Because I might upgrade to mysql5 too, which means I'd have to recompile and everything.

We have had to do it everytime we update PHP. Not sure when it will get fixed.
