Upgrading PHP version on Ubuntu

I'm trying to upgrade the version of PHP installed on an Ubuntu server 10.10 from 5.3.3 to 5.3.6. I followed the instructions at http://wiki.helioviewer.org/wiki/Compiling_PHP_from_source_on_Ubuntu and all seemed to go well, but when I run phpinfo() it's still showing the old version. If I run php -version from the command line it says 5.3.6. What do I need to do to get Apache to use this version? Thanks

Restart Apache indeed

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

However, I did had some problems in the past that the apache process got stuck in the memory after a recompile / or PHP upgrade. If you want to check if apache is still running after you've stopped it:

Stop Apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop

Look for apache processes

ps -A | grep apache

If you get a list with some apache2 processes it's not good, you can kill them with:

kill <PROCESS_ID>

For example:

kill 2389

Start apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 start
