[AuckLUG] Fedora core 4, php and imap

[Garrett Stoupe]

Hey Justin

Are you able to download the src rpm?

Rpm -I php*.src.rpm

Go to the directory that has the spec file
Edit the spec file 
In the spec file you will find a section that will have all of the compile
options (do a search for --with) then add --with-imap
When added save the file then tryp in
Rpmbuild -bb php*.rpm

This will build and create you an rpm file and will store it in 
/usr/src/packages/RPMS

in that directory just type in rpm -Uvh php*.rpm

When you need to rebuild the server you will be able to use the same rpm (as
long as you back it up)


It is not necessarily good practice to build identical systems using apt or
yum, the reason is if you need to rebuild the system in the near future the
version on yum or apt may be different than the one you previously used

It makes it harder to rebuild an indentical system if anything goes 
wrong. It doesn't seem like a big deal but when you're counting downtime 
in the hours rather than days it makes quite a difference.

The FC5 box is actually a virtual machine running under VMware, so none 
of that will be a concern soon.
