I don't want 2 instances of apache running, your over thinking this... I only asked if I need to change only the prefix, or if there is anything else, to get both php versions installed. Once I see my scripts are working ok, or not, I'll be getting rid of php4. I'm not running a dev machine, this is production, and the only one I have currently, my backup died last week and I haven't gotten the parts for it yet. Is prefix the only option I need to change? Or do I need to change these too? --datadir=/usr/share \ --includedir=/usr/include \ --libdir=/usr/lib \ --libexecdir=/usr/libexec \ --localstatedir=/var \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/usr/share/info \ --with-exec-dir=/usr/bin \ Thanks, Jake > Jake McHenry wrote: > > Sorry about the delivery and read requests..
