I just got done compiling and installing apache 2.0.51 and php 5.0.1. I tried to load the module for php in httpd.conf, but when it starts I get

Syntax error on line 233 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/libexec/libphp5.so into server: Cannot open "/usr/local/apache2/libexec/libphp5.so"

libphp5.so is nowhere on my system. I downloaded both from their respective sites. Any ideas?

same with libphp4.so- nowhere on my system

same here...it is like it didn't compile or something..I am also looking for my lost libphp4.so

Same here only with Fedora Core 2

i searched high and low for some answer on why my by libphp5.so was not created. why? why? why!!!

finally after googling many other sites.. i found the answer at this forum:

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/..._20929077.html

basically, you have to install the latest snapshot of php 5.X some unknown bug that the stable release has... and it should solve your "why isn't libphp5.so being compiled?" woes.

it solved my woes...

further note:

after doing

make clean
make
make install

there's a message saying you have to:

libtool --finish <<path to php 5.xx >>/libs

then,

chmod 755 /usr/local/apache2/libexec/libphp5.so


i hope this solves everyone's headaches!!!
