I am trying to install PHP4 on a Raq3. I have uploaded and untarred the .gz. I have sucessfully installed mySQL through the control panel (used .pkg).

Whenever I run ./CONFIGURE --WITH-MYSQL --WITH-APXS

I get:

BASH: ./CONFIGURE: PERMISSION DENIED

I notice that I cannot access /root directory via FTP. Do you think I don't have the priveleges to install anything but a .pkg via control panel?

You need to log into your Cobalt and switch to root (type su and your password after logging in). I can't tell from your post whether you did this or not.

There are instructions for installing PHP on a RaQ3 here: http://www.carriebartkowiak.com/article.php?story=20001231141455622

That works! Thanks for the quick response. I am running the untar as we speak. Hope everything keeps going smoothly.
