Changes to php/php5 and Information at it

[Jean Michel Bruenn]

Hello Guys,

"I" think we need some Changes with php, php5 is now stable, and recommed for use, so i think we should put php5 into compilers away from zbeta. and rename php to php4 - the next thing i have, php4 and php5 are missing much configure options could be needed for hosters and other people, so i try to send two updates, and hopefully someone will rename php to php4 and move zbeta/php5 to compilers/php5.

The next Step, i try to figure out is the apache. I don't like the Method lunar is installing the apache, i will try to explain why it's bad, and my solution:

We have two Types of Customers, the first needs Stable Stuff - The second wants Performance and Newer Applications.
So we created the following things:
/usr/local/apache1 (apache1.3) with PHP4 (/usr/local/php4) - Stable
/usr/local/apache2 (apache2.0) with PHP5 (/usr/local/php5) - Newer and Performance

Both uses the same MySQLd - Both uses same GD, same pear, same Curl, etc.

i find configurations in /usr/local/apache2/etc /usr/local/apache1/etc and so on. The executables are in /usr/local/apache2/bin /usr/local/apache1/bin etc.

I'm not a Bash or C coder, maybe someone can do with sedit or something like that a rename to the executables so that they're found in /usr/sbin/apxs2 and /usr/sbin/apxs1 or something like that. 

If anybody haves an idea about this, wants to help, or discuss this stuff with me.. Come on, i wait for your mail ;-)

Please note, it's only an Idea, to make apache and php more dynamic in moonbase and allow a user to use two things.

The last idea, at this Stuff is the following, if i install now apache1 and want to install apache2 i get a warning, cause its a conflict. My idea is, my idea as described at top of this mail - And here an Info "Dear User, you have installed ApacheX Want to deinstall it, or really want to use two webservers?" Or something like this.

If my english is ununderstandable, please, ask me, i try to explain it better.

I own a Server and Hosting Company, and i need to compile php5 and php4 manually cause lunar is missing the configure things, and other things i could need. So please have a look at my changes, and if they're okay, please submit it.

Very much thanks
Yours
