php apache mysql with ssl

I HAVE FOUND THIS WEBPAGE THAT GIVES DETAILED INTRUCTION ON HOW TO INSTALL APACHE,PHP,MYSQL WITH SSL, BELOW ARE ITS INTRUCTIONS. I AM USING REDHAT LINUX 8. MY PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I AM ABOUT TO INSTALL PHP AFTER I CONFIGURE IT, AFTER IT HAS LISTED A SERIES OF SCRIPTS, ON THE LAST PART IT READS "CONFIGURE:ERROR:UNABLE TO FIND LIBGD.(a|so) ANYWHERE UNDER /USR/LOCAL/GD-2.0.11." SO THINKING THIS IS JUST YOUR NORMAL ERROR READING I PROCEEDED TO TYPE "MAKE" AND THE TERMINAL RETURNED THIS "MAKE:*** NO TARGET SPECIFIED & NO MAKEFILE FOUND. STOP." WHAT DID I DO WRONG OR IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE INSTRUCTION GIVEN BELOW. PLEASE HELP I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR OVER A WEEK AND SO FAR I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY SOLUTION.

THE LAST PART, DOWN BELOW IS THE INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO INSTALL PHP4.3.2. AND SOMEHOW I COULD NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALL THE BINARIES, I HAVE DELIBERATELY OMMITED THE NEXT INSTRUCTION AFTER INSTALLING THE PHP AS I WANTED TO RESOLVE FIRST THE "MAKE" ISSUE.


# Move to /usr/local
cd /usr/local
# Get the following source:


# Decompress the sources:
tar -xvzf openssl-0.9.7.tar.gz
tar -xzvf mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.3.27.tar.gz
tar -xvzf apache_1.3.27.tar.gz
tar -xvzf php-4.3.2.tar.gz
tar -xvzf mysql-3.23.55.tar.gz
tar -xvzf gd-2.0.11.tar.gz

# Compile the sources:
cd gd-2.0.11
./configure
make

cd ../mysql-3.23.55
./configure
make
make install
scripts/mysql_install_db

adduser mysql
# In the file /etc/login.access add this line:
-:mysql:ALL
# So the user mysql never actualy logs in

# For Slackware:
chown -R mysql.users /usr/local/var
# For Redhat:
chown -R mysql.mysql /usr/local/var

safe_mysqld --user=mysql &

# Hit <Enter>
mysqladmin -u root password 'yourpasswordhere'

cd ../openssl-0.9.7
sh config -fPIC
make
# If you get a "Not enough room for program headers" error here,
# install the LATEST version of binutils.

cd ../mod_ssl-2.8.12-1.3.27
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.27

cd ../apache_1.3.27
SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.7
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=most
--enable-shared=max --enable-module=ssl --enable-shared=ssl
make

# Note: There is a Redhat bug that complains about mod_auth_dbm.so
# durning the Apache `make` proccess. Adding the configuration
# switch --disable-module=auth_dbm to the end of the ./configure line
# will fix it.

make certificate

# If you presently have a libphp4.so module you should make a backup:
cp /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so.was

# If you have a file called /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf already you
# should make a backup:
mv /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf.was

# This way you'll get a fresh httpd.conf with all your Apache modules listed
# and 100% loadable.

# Don't worry if your web server is presently running. The httpd.conf file
# is only read by the httpd binary when starting the web server.

make install

cd ../php-4.3.2
./configure
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf
--enable-versioning
--with-mysql=/usr/local
--enable-ftp
--with-gd=/usr/local/gd-2.0.11
--enable-bcmath
--disable-debug
--enable-memory-limit=yes
--enable-track-vars
make
make install

You should not have to do a configure on the GD

cd ../php-4.3.2
./configure
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache/conf
--enable-versioning
--with-mysql=/usr/local
--enable-ftp
--with-gd=/usr/local/gd-2.0.11
--enable-bcmath
--disable-debug
--enable-memory-limit=yes
--enable-track-vars
make
make install

what i did over the weekend is to configure my php with just the mysql and apxs. I did not bother to include the others, somehow i was able to do a "make and make install". So far I was able to pull off the "info()", so from here on i will try practicing on some of the tutorials i have donwloaded.

Really appreciate the effort of replying ....
