Hi all,

We are using a machine with php 4.3.4 and apache 1.3.29 on it.

I needed to add some new features to php (gd and png support )

I setup a phpinfo.php file and it tells me that php was orginally
built with :

./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.29 --enable-ftp
--enable-tracking-vars

and that all works just spify.

so I wanted to add the extra support i recompiled with:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.29 --enable-ftp
--enable-tracking-vars --with-gd --with-png --with-zlib

no errors spit out so i do a make && make install..again no errors.

I stop stop apache and start it up again ( assuming to read the newly
installed features) so I refresh phpinfo.php and it doesn't show the
newly compiled information?

should i copy php.ini-dist to php.ini again...do i have to redo the
apache with a new php module?

I have root access and have done php/apache installs manytimes...but
never had to add anything else afterwards.

HELP!!!!

Cheers,

Gary
