[ale] Starting up PHP

[Jim Philips]

I have had PHP for awhile. I tried using some RPM installations and absolutely 
hated it. But the worst is trying to go half and half, with one component 
compiled locally and the other installed by RPM. So, I am a great advocate of 
compiling everything yourself. As usual, you have more control over what 
components are activated and so on. There is a tool that will automate it for 
you if you like at:

http://www.apachetoolbox.com

It works pretty well, but may gag on some modules. You can be very granular 
about what gets activated and what doesn't. But if you go through the whole 
process, I think you will be much happier with the result. When you are 
installing a single application, RPM is great. But when you are installing a 
suite of applications that have to be aware of each other, I think it 
generally sucks.
