--with-libdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
or
--with-libdir=/lib/i386-linux-gnusudo make
sudo make installPHP will automatically add in a line to httpd.conf to load the php module. To this line, we'll also need to add the application type so Apache will parse PHP files. I like to keep these lines together.
sudo nano /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so # Added automatically by PHP
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phpcp php.ini-development /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini
or
cp php.ini-production /usr/local/php/lib/php.ini
PHP now ships with two example configurations. The production configuration contains settings which hold security, performance, and best practices at its core. The development is very similar to the production one, except it's much more verbose in reporting errors.
We use the development/production configurations as appropriate for each server. There are only a few settings we need to configure in either of them. The settings we change are the same in either configuration.
; This directive determines whether or not PHP will recognize code between
; <? and ?> tags as PHP source which should be processed as such. It's been
; recommended for several years that you not use the short tag "short cut" and
; instead to use the full <?php and ?> tag combination. With the wide spread use
; of XML and use of these tags by other languages, the server can become easily
; confused and end up parsing the wrong code in the wrong context. But because
; this short cut has been a feature for such a long time, it's currently still
; supported for backwards compatibility, but we recommend you don't use them.
; Default Value: On
; Development Value: Off
; Production Value: Off

; The separator used in PHP generated URLs to separate arguments.
; PHP's default setting is "&".
; http://php.net/arg-separator.output
; Example:
arg_separator.output = ";"
; List of separator(s) used by PHP to parse input URLs into variables.
; PHP's default setting is "&".
; NOTE: Every character in this directive is considered as separator!
; http://php.net/arg-separator.input
; Example:
arg_separator.input = ";&"
; PHP's default character set is set to empty.

default_charset = "utf-8"
[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions

Those last ones are important to uReport. uReport uses the lat, long configured on the server as the default coordinates for the maps.
