What is the configure script? I need to install php
![]() ![]() Question: What is the configure script? I need to install phpAnswer: When you install php, unless you use a binary image, you usually have to do the following(as with most unix software downloads) 1) run configure this is a script. You can run it like this: ./configure 2) create the make file with the configuration information that was gathered in step 1) make 3) run the installation make install 4) maybe run some tests make test These steps are pretty universal, whether you want to install perl, apache, mysql or php Sometimes steps 3 and 4 are in reverse order. If you have special requirements, you have to pass them in step 1, as your documentation describes.
