Yes, with su.

By the way, even in Linux it's sometimes better not to listen to warnings.

Got su


I first installed zip-xxx... and that installed correctly
#########################
zip
#
then i did rpm -q zip
zip-xxx...


Alright so far


Then i did the same for apache and php got the hash sequence
tried to -q apache and php and rpm said not installed


How can this be


I followed the same routines as the zip install
but it obvisouly hasn't installed them

I notice that in your first post you mention "rpm -inv" - are you sure about the "n"? Cuz afaik the usual params would be "rpm -Uhv" or "rpm -ihv".
