At our 35th High School reunion I was elected chairman of our reunion committee and have now created a class web site and want to use the Advanced Poll 2.0.2 on it. I have never done anything with php so am sort of at a loss.

I am currently using RedHat 7.3 and Apache and MySql to run a class database and web site.

My question is can someone tell me exactly what RPM's I need to install to make the Advanced Poll 2.0.2 work? This will be the only php application that I will run on this server. Due to the fact that this is the LAST web site I will ever build I only want to install absolute min that is required to make this script run.

I know there is the php-4.1-2.7.src.rpm but think this will install much more than I really need to make the Advanced Poll 2.0.2 work and due to the fact that I will not be using any other php applications it seems un-necessary to install everything.

On RedHats web site I found the following RPMS that I think might be needed but not 100% sure... php-4.1-2-7.i386.rpm, Php-pgsql-4.1.2-7.i386.rpm and php-mysql-4.1.2-7.i386.rpm Are all of these necessary? or can I get away with just installing 1 or 2 of them? And or do I need to install any others?

If you have any other suggestions as links that might help me get this setup I sure would appericate you posting them. From the reading I have done on Advanced Poll 2.0.2 it seems once I get the php working on my system the install program will do everything else I need.

Thanks in advance for you time!

PS. I know these questions are pretty basic for lots of you but keep in mind I am pretty far over the hill so please cut me some slack in asking these question.]]> https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/1069/2729.php https://proxy2.de/forum/posts/preList/1069/2729.php GMT

I am continuing this thead as perhaps it will help someone else at some point in time....

Seems do to the way I install a linux RedHat system with absolute mininum install I was missing some necessary RPMS like flex bison byacc autoconf automake and texinfo to mention a few. Once I got all these installed the make went fine with NO errors. I did the make then make install and then copied cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

when I do a /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart I get the following error ... I cannot find any info on this error when I search the web... to get the web server working again I commented out line 261 and one more line about 100 down from it with the libphp4 in it.

I am running Apache 1.3.23-14

Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4
.so: undefined symbol: sapi_globals

I think once I get this figured out PHP will work.
