Recompiling PHP

[JamesUS]

Hi everyone,

I hope this is the right area to post in; please let me know if it is better suited to somewhere else.

I'd like to recompile PHP on my server (shared with a friend), and add support for PostgreSQL (--with-pgsql option).
I know Cpanel doesn't like recompiling PHP, Apache etc so I thought I should post here for some advice first.
Is it possible to reliably recompile php/apache, and am I (a relative linux newbie compared to most of you guys) going to be capable?

Thanks in advance!

first question for you, is php statically compiled into apache, or is it running as a DSO module?

If it\'s a DSO, then a recompile of apache should be quite easy.

Let us know, and we\'ll give you some pointers.

regards,

Simon

I also would like to recompile PHP for --with-pgsql support. How do I find out if mine is DSO or not?
