I have a Slackware 10.0 system that I'll be replacing soon with an updated version. Now, this machine wasn't set up by me, and the person who set it up only has documentation of what was installed (Apache, PHP, and MySQL... all of which will also be upgraded), but not what configure options were passed when each was compiled from source.
Is there a way for these packages, or for packages in general, to determine what non-standard options were used based on the current install? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
There's no general way to know what compile-time options were selected for any given software. Sometimes this info is contained within the documentation for the package (for some packages supplied by some distributions) but if the software was installed from source then it was up to the person who installed it to note these things.
You can get lots of info about Apache from http://localhost/server-info/ if Apache is configured to use the server info module.
You can get lots of info about PHP from the output of the phpinfo() function. (Create a simple web page wrapper around it and view it in your browser or use command-line PHP if that's available to you.)
