Allright... this is what I did to get my install of php4.2.0 working with apache2 on freebsd....
# Move to /usr/source
cd /usr/source
# Get the following source:
http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/httpd-2.0.35.tar.gz
http://www.php.net/do_download.php?download_file=php-4.2.0.tar.gz
# Decompress the sources:
tar -xvzf httpd-2.0.35.tar.gz
tar -xvzf php-4.2.0.tar.gz
cd ../httpd-2.0.35
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max
make
make install
SPECIAL NOTE: Freebsd support at this time requires GNU portable threads (which is avaliable via ports)
you will need to perform the following steps to get php 4.2.0 running properly....
cd /usr/local/ports/devel/pth
make
make install
and add "--with-tsrm-pth" to the configure statement below....
back to the install....
cd ../php-4.2.0
./configure \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf \
--enable-versioning \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-bcmath \
--disable-debug \
--enable-memory-limit=yes \
--enable-track-vars
make
make install
# Make sure you have, Uncomment (remove the #'s), Change or Create
# the following lines in the file /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.php3 index.phtml
</IfModule>
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
cp /usr/local/php-4.1.2/php.ini-dist /usr/local/apache/conf/php.ini
# Start Apache:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start
# Create a file in /usr/local/apache/htdocs called index.php
<html>
<head><title>PHP Test Page</title></head>
<body>
<? phpinfo(); ?>
</body>
</html>
