What you should do is get the newest versions of the RPM packages for 
Apache, PHP, and MySQL (including related packages like php-mysql). Once 
you have those all together in a directory, you can upgrade them one by one 
with the "rpm -Uvh php-4.3.x-x-x-x-x.rpm" command or you can use "rpm -Uvh 
*" to upgrade all packages in that directory.

"rpm -Uvh" will smoothly upgrade existing packages by handling config files 
gracefully, removing the previous package, and installing the new one. If 
you installed the new packages with "rpm -i" then you will have to manually 
remove the older versions.

PHP has always worked immediately for me on Red Hat Linux, with no 
configuration required.

Post a specific question with details. For example, in your last email you 
said "PHP is still not active." How did you decide that? What did you try?

And you're in the right place, don't worry about it. This list is for 
general questions of any type related to Red Hat Linux.
