Hi.
I use Fedora-5 Linux as my Operating System. Recently I installed most resent versions of Apache web-server and PHP on my system. I installed and tested Apache, first, and it was successful. Next, I installed PHP, however, after the installation I noticed that Apache wouldn't start (i.e. httpd will not start, restart or reload). While troubleshooting, I observed that when I remove the line shown below from the httpd.conf file, Apache would work fine, with no problems.

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so

But this line of code is used by PHP. The libphp5.so is located in the path shown in above, and I copied the php.ini file to the recommended location. Could anyone please assist me, because I am confused and I don't know how to fix this problem.

Thanks.

what do your logs say after the start of apache fails?
which version of apache are you using?
did you install from the rpms supplied in the fc5 repository?

BTW: welcome to LQ

Thanks for the response.
My log apache file (error_log) doesn't mention anything about this. The only error message I get, is if I try reloading httpd (i.e. service httpd reload), after including the code, shown below, in the httpd.conf file.

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so

Then I get this error message

Reloading httpd: not reloading due to configuration syntax error
[FAILED]

I'm using httpd-2.2.3, which I downloaded from Apache website about two days back.

More information:

I was able to get httpd running again by using this command

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

However, when I checked the loaded module (/usr/sbin/httpd -M), I get the following error message:

httpd: Syntax error on line 205 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

I changed the permissions of the "libphp5.so" file to 777, but I still got the same responce.
Please help.

Did you searach the internet for your problem? There are plenty hits for cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied.

Thanks Wim Sturkenboom
I checked out the URLs, and got it fixed.

Had to change the SELinux Setting from Enforcing to Permissive

Next I changed the Severname, httpd.conf, to my machine's name

Thanks for the assistance
