I don't really know what --prefix=/usr/local/php-fpm-5.2.9 accomplishes.
Will that move the default locating of php.ini or anything?
What's the best practice here. Right now this is on a QA box but will
eventually move into production and it's a very busy site so maintenance times
have to be minimal when upgrading or making future changes.
I ended up going with the following because we want only what's needed for our
webapp but it's not too late to change it.
./configure --disable-all --enable-fastcgi --enable-fpm --with-mysqli --with-gd
--with-mysql --with-freetype-dir=/usr/include/freetype2 --enable-shmop
--enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --enable-libxml --with-pcre-regex
--enable-spl --enable-session --enable-xml --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt
--enable-force-cgi-redirect

To apply the patch run:
#cat patch.php-fpm | patch -d php-5.2.9 -p1
you don't really need cat here: ^^^
patch -d php-5.2.9 -p1 < patch.php-fpm
I believe the result is the same.
Correct me if I am wrong.
yes it is the same, but that is not the point, see above :)
You should also use --prefix=/usr/local/php-fpm-5.2.9 or something else, just to have it in a separate directory, otherwise you mess up your system
I specifically stated the OS for which these instructions were meant (CentOS 5.2 - 32 bit). Following them to the letter, php and php-cgi will be installed in /usr/local/bin/ and php-fpm in /usr/local/sbin/. php-fpm.conf will be in /usr/local/etc/. php.ini will need to be in /usr/local/lib/.
In a stock CentOS php is in /usr/bin/ and php.ini in /etc/. I have done it this way now in dozens of servers and it has not "messed up" any systems. I use different options in 64 bit CenOS but they amount to the same basic thing.
The advantage of having php in a separate directory is that you can delete it before installing a new version. Instaling everything from source in /usr/local or /usr or wherever leaves you no chance for deinstallation, because you don't know what files were installed and where. When you are going to upgrade your php installation, the new one will overwrite some files (tha files that it installs) but some files from the old installation might be left (executables, libs, headers, etc....). At this point your system is already messed up and might later need a new installation! Therefore on most systems there are facilities called package/port managers that help you safely install and deinstall stuff without leaving any remains. Remains might later break other applications that you want to install. It's a general practice for maintaining your system clean. Moreover on different systems stuffs goes in different places and in new app versions default paths might change, therefore if you want to have a maintainable system you must always specify a prefix directory when installing from source.
It seems that you need to inform yourself better: * CentOS is not an OS, it is a GNU/Linux distribution, which is explicitly stated on [1]: "CentOS is an Enterprise-class Linux Distribution derived from sources freely provided to the public by a prominent North American Enterprise Linux vendor." * there is no stock php, but php that you might install via a package, moreover it is common practice from GNU/Linux distros to put apps in /usr and confs in /etc
But at the end, you ca do with your systems what you want :) it's the freedom that Unix-like systems give you!
It's pointless to carry out this discussion. Everything you say is "technically"
correct. However, nothing I have said is "technically" wrong.
We have an expression in English that goes "There is more than one way to skin a
cat". There is probably something similar in your language.
I will leave this discussion with the following:
I do know the difference between a distribution and an operating system. I could
have been clearer in my choice of terms. So could the people who created the
CentOS project. After all, looking at the link that you provided, a page that I
have visited many times, it occurs to me that you left out the words at the VERY
top of the page, ones that occur before the section that you quoted. Perhaps
this was an oversight on your part?
"CentOS: The Community ENTerprise Operating System"
Seems that they are as confused as I am... :)
