Recompile PHP?

[reefland]

Boy, I'm posting like a guy with a new server that don't know anything about it! Oh wait, I am a guy with a new server that don't know anything about it. :D

How do I recompile PHP, any good how to's out there? The reason is I want to turn off persistent connections and I need to enable GD support for the gallery on my site. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

This is the complete apache/php how-to:

This tool helps compiling apacha/php/mysql/ssl etc. and all the modules:

Thanks guys, I actually found another way to do it on my server which was to simply run /scripts/easyapache from the command line. By doing this, gd was enabled and persistent connections was turned off. :)
