cd /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
rm -fr build
wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/customapache/build
chmod 755 build
./build update
./build clean
./build update_data_ap2
perl -pi -e 's/2.0.59/2.2.6/' build 

or manually change any reference to old version to new (this is best way, above will get outdated)

#vi ./build

change APACHE and PHP references according to the version downloaded below.

wget http://www.reverse.net/pub/apache/httpd/httpd-2.2.6.tar.gz
wget http://us2.php.net/get/php-5.2.4.tar.gz/from/this/mirror
./build apache_2
./build php_ap2 n

if you get xml error do this:
# yum install libxml2-devel 

next... edit httpd.conf

vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

comment out:

#LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

add:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

add ".php5" to this line:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .inc .php .php5 .php4 .php3 .phtml 

(see here for more help)

./build mod_perl_ap2
./build zend (optional)
/sbin/service httpd restart
