PHP 5.1 and Apache 1.3.x

[DamnSkippy]

Anyone here running PHP 5.1.x and Apache 1.3.x? I have a client that needs PHP 5 so they can run a script on their server and it requires PHP 5.

I am not one to go customizing the base system a control panel runs on (customapache in this case) unless I have to because it can become a pain to manage. But I don't have a choice in this matter.

I am sticking with Apache 1.3.x because customapache does not support 2.2 without more modifications and I am unsure of it's compatibility with some things (such as Zend). My plan was to move to Apache 2.2.x and PHP 5.x when customapache supported it.

I asked DA support about it and they said "php5 would just be a matter of changing the PHP_VER in the build script, placing the source in the customapache directory and recompiling." If it is as simple as that it would be great.

I have looked for some how-tos but it seems they are for Apache 2.0 not 1.3. Has anyone else moved to PHP 5.1 with Apache 1.3.x? Was there anything else needed than what I pasted above?
