Is this a PHP CGI installation?

[SneakyDave]

I've seen numerous PHP installation routines, and one of the simplest I've scene revolves around something like these statements:

Code Sample:

$ cd /tmp         $ tar -zxvf php-3.0.7.tar.gz         $ cd php-3.0.7         $ ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \                       --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd \                       --with-mysql \                       --with-gd \                       --with-zlib \                       --with-system-regex

I'm a dumb Unix dude, so I don't know if this is a CGI installation of PHP, or the "better" way.

Of course, this is using an old version of PHP.

Also, if I wanted to backup Apache first, do I just do it with a "cp" command?
