In the source directory:

./configure --prefix=/home/ashkan/Development/php/bin/php-5.2  --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2

make works fine but make install says:

Installing PHP SAPI module:       apache2handler
/usr/share/apache2/build/instdso.sh SH_LIBTOOL='/usr/share/apr-1.0/build/libtool' libphp5.la /usr/lib/apache2/modules
/usr/share/apr-1.0/build/libtool --mode=install cp libphp5.la /usr/lib/apache2/modules/
libtool: install: cp .libs/libphp5.so /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so': Permission denied
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536

UPDATE: reading man apxs2 it seems apxs compiles and then installs the module into apache module directory. This module directory seems to be fixed!

Based on this blog article, if you specify INSTALL_ROOT the PHP apache module will try to install in that directory.

INSTALL_ROOT=/the/dir/path/to/install/in make install

The other thing you might want to try adding this option to your ./configure of php-src:

--libexecdir=DIR        program executables [EPREFIX/libexec]
--sysconfdir=DIR        read-only single-machine data [PREFIX/etc]

as I believe those are being used in the Makefile

No permission to copy binaries to /usr. Do sudo make install.

  • Tnx for your reply but as mentioned in the question, the problem is that --prefix is used with ./configure and the libtools is supposed to copy the module in the proper location and not the /usr/lib/apache2/module

  • Try putting --prefix in "" --prefix="/home/ashkan/Development/php/bin/php-5.2"

  • You could try tooling with the config file. I looked briefly. its not fixed "phplibdir" is it's assignment. you could try adding set -vx into the configure script to see what it is doing with your prefix directive.
