i have a centos5.5 server on which i want to host Magento. However i don't want to use a control panel but to do everything myself. The base repo on centos provides php 5.1.6 which is too old for the application to use.

If i download and compile from source the newest php, will i also have to install the newest apache and mysql? I wan't all the pieces to work well together. I am new at linux but i know enough to install these things from latest source. But say i install the new apache 2.2.17 which has document root at /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/ how do i tell php where that is, if you understand what i mean? Thanks for your help.

Why you don't install php from a updated repository? I use remi-enterprise.

i'd love to but is there a repo that has all the updated components apache, mysql and php... i dont want to mix and match. I tried ius but it only has php and mysql not apache. – samsunggalaxyss Jan 12 '11 at 10:14
