If you've build a module (if you used --with-apxs), shutdown your apache,
copy ./.libs/libphp5.so to the httpd/libexec/ directory. If your httpd.conf
is correctly set, start apache.

If you've build a CGI (if you used --enable-force-cgi-redirect), copy
./sapi/cgi/php to the location where you've set it to be in the httpd.conf.
No apache restart required.

If you use Apache2 use apxs2 instead.

Here is the configure I use (for CGI):

./configure --enable-force-cgi-redirect --with-mysqli \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-pgsql --enable-memory-limit --with-gd \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib/ --enable-exif --with-config-file-path=../conf \
--with-zlib 

You do not require --with-pgsql, --enable-memory-limit, --with-gd,
--with-jpeg-dir and --enable-exif. --with-config-file-path is the location
for the php.ini used by this CGI (here relative to the location of the PHP
binary)

If you want to build a module (DSO), just replace
--enable-force-cgi-redirect with --with-apxs. (--with-apxs2)

apxs is a Perl script and part of the Apache distribution. Has nothing to do
with your Mandriva (whatever this it).

locate apxs
