Still operating off of PHP 4.2.2. I decided tonight was the night for change (and losing hair).

I am clueless when it comes to linux but that's the OS (Linux 9.0) I got up and running to create an intranet prototype of my site. I've never actually configured PHP before but am trying to get 5.1.1 up and going. From the previous version, apparently Linux enabled a LOT of PHP configurations (according to phpmyadmin). I'm running into a lot of walls errors with libxml and other --with configs. So my question is two part:

1) what NEEDS to be configured?

2) If I come back later to configure something else to PHP, do I have to include ALL ./config statements, INLCUDING ones I may have done upon previous configuring?

(This is why I use windows and Dreamweaver for development :)
