1) Download Current Apache from

   http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi

   for example: httpd-2.2.8.tar.bz2

   save it to disk.

2) Go to your install folder such as $HOME/apache_2.0
   and uncompress the bz2 file

   tar jxvpf httpd-2.2.8.tar.bz2

3) Go to the source directory and do config then make:

 3a)  cd httpd-2.2.8 

 3b) ./configure --prefix=/path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache \
      --enable-cache \
      --enable-disk-cache \
      --enable-mem-cache \
      --enable-proxy \
      --enable-proxy-http \
      --enable-proxy-ftp \
      --enable-proxy-connect \
      --enable-so \
      --enable-cgi \
      --enable-info \
      --enable-rewrite \
      --enable-speling \
      --enable-usertrack \
      --enable-ssl \
      --enable-deflate \
      --enable-mime-magic

  3c) make
  3d) make install

  with the install results in the folder $HOME/apache_2.0/apache:

	Installing configuration files
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/conf
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/conf/extra
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/conf/original
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/conf/original/extra
	Installing HTML documents
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/htdocs
	Installing error documents
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/error
	Installing icons
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/icons
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/logs
	Installing CGIs
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/cgi-bin
	Installing header files
	Installing build system files
	Installing man pages and online manual
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/man
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/man/man1
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/man/man8
	mkdir /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/manual

   The actual apache commands are in

	/path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/bin

4) Download PHP source (for example php-5.2.5.tar.bz2) from 
   http://us.php.net/get/php-5.2.5.tar.bz2/from/a/mirror
   unpack into /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/php-5.2.5 for example.

   tar jxvpf php-5.2.5.tar.bz2


5) cd php-5.2.5 and do config (note the optoons are given
   with two minus signs -- in front):

   ./configure \
	--with-apxs2=/path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/bin/apxs \
  	--prefix=/path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/php \
        --enable-shared=all \
        --with-gd \
	--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/php \
	--enable-force-cgi-redirect \
	--disable-cgi \
	--with-zlib \
	--with-gettext \
        --with-gdbm >& /tmp/conf.output

  Note: the >& sends output under csh.  If you use sh or bash
        use 2> instead.  And the >& /tmp/conf.output is not needed
	if you are not interested in sending the output to a file.

   Note: if something fails before libphp5.so is successful
         produced in the following steps, you can start over
	 from this step by issuing a command:

	 make distclean

	 and then redo from step 5.

6) Check the conf.output to see if you get these lines:

checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... no

7) Now issue the command

   make

   and after it is done you should check .libs/ folder 

   ls .libs
   libphp5.la@  libphp5.lai  libphp5.so*

8) Then issue the command

   make install

   And the install directory is /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/php (as specified
   by the --prefix option)

   Make sure you see the this line among the output:

   chmod 755 /path-to-your-home-dir/apache_2.0/apache/modules/libphp5.so

    steps to get httpd (your web server with php) up and running.
