I hope this helps:

Steps to follow:

 
IMPORTANT: Login as user root.
 
Uninstall apache with the tool rpm: rpm -e apache It's possible that rpm
warns for conflicting dependencies. In this case remove all dependent
packets. To remove apache without any dependency check use command:
rpm -e --nodeps apache
 
Untar (unpack) the apache packet (tarball) to the /tmp directory:
tar xzfv apache_1.3.X.tar.gz

Change to the directory (cd /tmp/apache_1.3.X) and then configure apache
with DSO enabled and with the base directory /usr/local/apache:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-shared=max
 
Compile apache:
make
 
 
Install Apache:
make install

Now it's time to install InterBase. (SKIP THIS AND NEXT STEP IF it's
already installed.) Untar InterBase to the directory /tmp:
tar xfv InterBaseSS_LI-B6.0.tar
 
Change to the directory (cd /tmp).Execute the install script:
./install.sh /tmp/InterBaseSSB6.0-LI.tgz

If you want to install the ClassicServer you have to do the same steps
as I have desribed above. 

Accept the default directory
The newest version of IB installs to /opt/interbase
If you need the directory /usr/interbase set a softlink to the directory
/opt/interbase like so:
ln -s /opt/interbase /usr/interbase 

Last but not least you now have to install PHP... untar PHP to the
directory /tmp:
tar xzfv php-4.0.0.tar.gz 

Change to the directory (cd /tmp/php-4.0.0) and configure PHP to support
InterBase and with apxs and trackvars enabled:
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-interbase
--enable-trackvars

Now you only have to compile and install PHP:
make && make install 
 
Finally enable PHP in the file /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf. Find
exactly this, "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" to http.conf. You
only have to remove the # symbol from the beginning of the line.  
 
Now start apache with the command /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl and
the parameter start:
cd /usr/local/apache/bin
./apachectl start 
 
Now start InterBase with:
cd /usr/interbase/bin
./ibguard &
 
NOTE: If you have installed the ClassicServer you have to restart the
inetd with:
./killall -1 inetd
 
There is no need to start the ClassicServer by hand.

have a lot of fun...................
