I have been trying to install php3 on Redhat 6.1, because my IP (co-location) warned me to stay away from php4 with my Linux version. Too many problems, and I am too inexperienced to want them.

I keep getting error messages. The instructions said use:
	./configure --with-mysql --with-apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars

That is what I did, but this didn't give the correct location for mysql, so:
	./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache_1.3.9 --enable-track-vars	

That was an invalid location for apache, so I did a "locate apache"  and httpd -v to get the right version number:
	./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache_1.3.9 --enable-track-vars

No, it wanted an address:
	./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=/usr/lib/apache_1.3.9 --enable-track-vars

It didn't like that location, saying it needed httpd.h, so:
	./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=/usr/include/apache/ --enable-track-vars
	./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=/usr/include/apache/ --enable-track-vars

"Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h /under user/include/apache"

That is the only place it is turning up. Why can't INSTALL find it there? I even name the file:
	./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apache=/usr/include/apache/httpd.h --enable-track-vars

Still doesn't work, but when I do a locate, it IS there.

I'm stuck guys. Your instructions DON'T WORK. Any ideas?
