Recompiling PHP
| Posted by Cynthia Blue, 09-10-2008, 09:46 AM | | I have to recompile PHP with GD Library support... of course it is making me nervous.. i don't want to mess up my VPS.
I am hosted by Steadcom and I have Centos 5 as my OS.
I'm not able to find where to run the ./configure command from. And I am assuming that if I view my phpinfo() and just copy all the commands there, change the GD Library support to with, and then run that, that'll work? I have never compiled PHP before.
Where would I run the cofigure script from? I'm not sure where it lives. Thanks!

You may need to download the PHP tarball, unzip/untar it and run from within the subsequent folder - I'm not sure if they provide the source somewhere on that system.
