[TriLUG] PHP.... #@#@$!!

[Ryan Wheaton]

I *think* that what you're doing replaces the php stuff on your box, 
but it doesn't replace the php module that is compiled for apache?

I thought though, that the default RPM installation of php and the 
subsequent apache module came compiled with all kinds of options, 
including --enable-gd.
