Apache-PHP question

jolu2000 · 06-04-2003, 08:40 AM

Hello!

I installed Apache 2.0.46 with PHP 4.3.1 and all went fine until I tried to start Apache by typing:

"/etc/rc5.d/S85httpd start"

I got the following error:

"Cannot load /www/modules/libphp4.so into server: /www/modules/libphp4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Does anyone know a fix to this? I heard from somewhere that this was a bug and that there is some type of fix for it. Any help is appreciated.

are you sure the libphp4.so exists in /www/modules/ directory?
do you have libphp4.so in any directory?

I did a search on the comp and in the /www/modules directory but no luck with file libphp4.so. hmmm...

As a quick test - /path/to/httpd -l will return the modules that have been compiled into apache.

You need to tell php to build the required libraries and to have apache include this into the build. A more detailed explanantion can be found if you click through the Links section here at LQ you can drill down into the Networking section and select the LAMPS link. There's some good information about how to build Apache+php.
