php install problem

Post by bbader »

I am going through the install How-To for Linux written by lee carter and have run into a problem. Stepping through the Install PHP section, the following command does not work for me:
path=/www/php --enable-sockets --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-zlib-

I keep getting : -bash: --enable-sockets: command not found

I am not familiar with Linux enough to know what how to fix or get around this error. Can someone help?

Thanks
Bryan

try:

$ ./configure --prefix=/some_path --with-apxs2=/some_path \
> --with-config-file-path=/some_path --enable-sockets --with-mysql=/mysql_path \
> --with-zlib-dir=/some_path --with-gd
$ make
$ make install

Thanks for both replys. trying ./configure --help did not list the --enable-sockets command at all, but trying it as one long line did not produce the error and I can continue on. Thanks for the help. I should have tried that before asking I guess, but I did not want to risk ruining the entire install if I did something outside of the instructions.

Thanks again!
