There are many howtos on building Apache 

with PHP, MYSQL support, but it is 

very rare to find some document 

on OCI8 support with Apache Build, 

recently I was building a web server

 in my data center and I was really in

 trouble when I was searching some 

installation document, there are few documents ,

 but most of them are using either RPM version of

 packages or they are missing some of the essential 

steps. I am trying to write a howto that will

 help you to at least understand the installation 

with step-by-step method.
