Okay, so this might not be the best group - but I can't find one on my
server for php or apache specifically, so, hoping someone here can
help.

Alright - first, objective: Trying to get PHP with pdflib support for
some stuff... have the default apache 1.3.27 installed, with mod_php.
I've recompiled PHP with the two configure statements below (both
4.3.1 and 4.3.2 now) and the issue is - mod_php still shows as version
4.2.3, unchanged. What am I missing?

../configure --prefix=/usr --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-exif
--enable-track-vars

--with-calendar=shared --enable-magic-quotes --enable-trans-sid
--enable-wddx --enable-ftp --enable-inline-optimization
--enable-memory-limit --with-imap=/usr --with-mhash=/usr
--with-mcrypt=/usr --with-openssl=/usr --with-gettext=/usr
--with-pdflib=/usr/local

and the latest:

../configure --prefix=/usr --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --enable-exif

--with-config-file-path=/etc/apache --with-openssl=/usr --with-bz2
--with-calendar=shared

--enable-magic-quotes --enable-trans-sid --enable-wddx
--enable-ftp --with-gd --enable-gd-native-ttf
--enable-inline-optimization --enable-memory-limit
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-imap=/usr --with-mhash=/usr
--with-mysql=shared,/usr --with-xml=shared,/usr --with-zlib=/usr
--with-mcrypt=/usr --with-gettext=/usr --with-pdflib=/usr/local

The second one successfully configures, compiles, installs... but,
again, after a restart of apache, the phpinfo still shows 4.2.3.

Making me insane... tips/hints/flames?

Then find the best group. I would start by going to google and seeing
if there is a mailing list for people to aske questions about these
types of things on the php or apache websites. If you want the best
answers you have to go to the best place.

O-kay... There doesn't seem to be a *best* group for it. I googled
for the answer and found tips - but none that worked. I've checked
packages - none really do. Read and searched and read some more.

Call it a preference, but I read newsgroups by habit already, and this
one specifically subscribe to; web forums? I hardly participate or
even ever read those. Isn't this as valid a place for questions,
mayhaps somewhat off-topic, but close enough that some regulars have
seen similar?

Anyhow.

Pretty sweet. My own provider's newsfeed is quite, quite limited in
some respects, however, so I don't hold out much hope of having it
propagate - unless they host and open it up themselves, I guess.

Ooh, ouch. You hadda include a link to a little document like that,
huh?

I've found the comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix group - very little
helpful there, though. The mailings lists - hm. Easy enough if the
archives are online, I come up with enough of those in google. Having
to subscribe and post to several, one after the other, in hopes of
getting someone who's come across this particular thing? I obviously
hesitate.

Not necessarily that everyone has. And I'm not looking for detailed
instructions; I have no fear of doing all the legwork. I've just
reached a particular logjam and was hoping for a push, a poke, a peek,
if you will. I admit, yes, that this is not the *best* place to post
it.

However, there's enough doubt as to exactly *where* the *best* place
would be.

Well, I'll leave this alone, then, and re-post to an alternate group
and continue googling.

I found and fixed it... wanted to say, I think it *did* have something
to do with Slackware, specifically, which would have helped.

I had the stock apache installed, as I mentioned. Did not know this,
but mod_php is compiled in (4.2.3) by default in that package. Found
by doing an httpd -l as mentioned in another post.

Looked up a slackbuild script for the right paths, re-did apache
without it, re-installed PHP, (a couple of times to get it right) and,
voila.

That extra night's sleep gives ya all the perspective.

Now I gotta post a followup in the other group.
