Compiled PHP 5.3 how can I use the binary?

Post by alex.barylski »

Basically I have compiled PHP 5.3 and finally got all the modules, etc I needed compiled in as well...awesome. :D

Now I would like to copy over the binaries and config files to my dedicated server so I do not have to apt-get all those dependencies, etc on my dedicated server. I have a working PHP 5.2 installation and ideally would like to just drop the new binary into place, rename the old php.ini and upload the new one...

What would I have to do?

So I was thinking...how is it that Debian packages are made, perhaps I could create a package from my server software and justinstall that way on my remote server OR is it possible to just copy the binaries/config files? How do I find out which files changed from PHP 5.2.X to 5.3.x???
