philosophical question

[Tom Westheimer]

I have a RH 7.0 website that I am trying to upgrade to use latest PHP 
and MYSQL.  In order to use another program on my website.

I downloaded the latest PHP source and get errors that my Apache is not 
DSO and Perl is not up to date.

Also re Apache do I create a DSO version of 1.3 or create a 2.0 
version?  It all seems such a web of dependencies!!

My philosophical  question is how does one tackle getting everyting up 
to date when installing new modules??   So I guess I am looking for some 
general guidelines that should be used. 

TIA
