Getting used to FC2 now.
I downloaded php.tar.gz and now I want to know where should I extract the files to ?
For Windows 2003, I had it in C:\Program File\PHP and the php4ts.dll in C:\Windows\System32. Whats the equivalent for that in FC2 or Linux for that matter.
Thanks

you can extract it anywhere and then you state what path you want to install it to when you do '.configure', but the default is usually fine.

But where do I copy-paste the php4ts.dll ? Linux equivalent of C:\Windows\System32 or C:\WINNT\System32.
Ok. We can extract to anywhere - even in Windows its no prob - but I would like to have it in the common place like C:\Program Files - so where do these go in Linux ?
Thanks

For most linux distributions it's /usr/local. Apache and MySQL reside there. What's FC2?

On FC2, you should ideally use the RPM's to run php/mysql/etc.
RPM's are a form of package management (Redhat Package Manager), which allows you easy access to great software like php and mysql.
You can of course build from source, but RPM's make life easier.
