The problem:
After installing PHP from source, functionality is not present - my phpinfo test page does not work. If I use yum to install from the repository functionality is restored.
Why am I doing this:
Ultimately I want to add ImageMagick/MagickWand funcationality. Appearently MagickWand needs to be compiled with PHP and sources I've found stating otherwise have been unsuccessful for me.
What I've tried:
About every resource I've found is fairly straight-forward but nothing really addresses what to do if this process fails:
- Get your desired distribution. I've tried the latest (5.5.1) and what is in the CentOS repository (5.3.3)
- Get prerequsits - most reference libxml2-devel, some httpd-devel and gcc.
- ./configure --with content specific to your build (varies)
- make && make install
- place php.ini from source folder into /etc/
- restart httpd.
A couple examples of documents I've observed for this process:

Im not sure what I'm doing wrong but honestly I don't work from source very often. I feel that I am missing an unwritten constant. Any advice? I'll be able to provide any additional information as needed.
