[linux] PHP w/OpenSSL Compilation Error

[Rohan S. =)]

Garrett,

Garrett,

I emailed C&C about it, but I didn't get a response. I don't blame them, I
figure they have a lot more to be concerned about than whether the PHP on
Vergil is the latest and greatest ;)

As for disk space, I've managed to keep everything just under 100 MB, and
I'm only using one or two ports. But if this isn't justified by the product,
I'll shut it down.

      You know, if the version of PHP wasn't to your liking you could always
email the consultants at help at cac.washington.edu and that might solve that
issue. Remember that since you're running your own Apache webserver daemon
it's eating up more resources and available ports, plus disk space on the
Vergil galaxy systems. But oh well... they allow people to install
individual MySQL servers, so what do I know =p...
