Help installing apache on FC5

[Kristi2k]

I'm having a hard time installing Apache on FC5. This is what I get for an error:

[root@Osiris apache_1.3.34]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/etc/httpd/
Configuring for Apache, Version 1.3.34
+ using installation path layout: Apache (config.layout)
Creating Makefile

I haven't used FC5 before, but that means that you need to install GCC first.

Is there a good reason you're doing this by hand and not using "yum install httpd" or something to that effect?

For that matter why the heck are you using a 1.3 build? The 2.0 series is well established now and quite secure.

Does PHP4 play well with the new branch?

Some of us still don't like 2.x:

1. The new threading model doesn't inspire confidence.
2. There is a reason security oriented projects like OpenBSD aren't going with it (besides just the license).
3. It is less free than the 1.3 branch (earlier branch anyhow, I think the later releases are tainted with the new license).

😉

To OP: Use yum.

It'd be a pretty ridiculous problem if the webserver and php from the yum repositories didn't work. At any rate, there's a far higher chance of success than trying to install it all yourself. If they don't work, file a bug report and/or move on to a distro that doesn't concentrate on the bleeing edge.

Most webhosts I'm on is still on 1.3.x but I had trouble using it on my windows xp dev machine. Apache2 works fine though
