I have installed apache 2.0.51 in a debian 3.0 with the following configure
--prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-so

and i have installed php 4.3.10 using the following configure
--prefix=/usr/local/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-xmlrpc --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

Both installations were ended fine.

I have changed the httpd.conf to add among other the following:
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

When i start the apache server i get the error that it cannot load the module. And i look for the file libphp4.so in the whole system but is missing.

How is this file libphp4.so generated?

Thanks.

I don't know.

Maybe you just need to edit your httpd configuration file, and replace libphp4.so with mod_php4.so

check my httpd/conf.d/70_mod_php.conf
<IfDefine HAVE_PHP4>
<IfModule !mod_php4.c>
LoadModule php4_module extramodules/mod_php4.so
</IfModule>
</IfDefine>

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
PHPINIDir /etc
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</IfModule>

I havent neither mod_php4.so file.

The closer files i have in the system are:
mod_php4.c
mod_php4.exp
mod_php4.h
and
libphp4.module.in

and all of them are in the directory where i have all the sources i downloaded, php-4.3.10.tar.gz

So i guess the problem is in how i configured the php. Do you remeberber how you did it? What version are you using?

Thanks.

scuzzman

those are the source files used to create libphp4.so
you did compile it, correct? if so, then do this:
That's the directory path you want.

The only difference I see in your ./configure for php is that you define a --prefix=/usr/local/php but I don't think it's the case. See if you have a libexec directory under apache directory tree and if libphp4.so is in there and change httpd.conf

I had done:
#updatedb
#locate libphp4.so
And there are no files like that in the whole system.

I have also installed the new apache.2.0.52 in case there was a problem with hte 2.0.51. But nothing. I havent tried new changes with the --prefix in the php-4.3.10 installation becasue it doesnt look like it is the problem.

I will install the php to make sure the installation was fine.

C u soon. Thanks for your tips.

if you use this way to install packages (installing in /usr/local/<package name>) then you have to manually set up your paths ( such as PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc...) for each one.

so for example, the way you have these configured, you would have to add the following to /etc/ld.so.conf:

/usr/local/php/lib
/usr/local/apache/lib (assuming it has shared libraries you need to link)

after you have the above lines added into /etc/ld.so.conf run (as root):

/sbin/ldconfig

to run apache out of that directory set up the PATH environment variable to add /usr/local/apache/bin.

I have followed your tip and add add the following to /etc/ld.so.conf:
But i have no clear idea what do you mean with "run apache ot"

Any way i am a bit confused with this installation.

I swear that the php installation ended ok, i even got the messages that at the end gives you tips of security. Or i might not seen some other mesaages??? Who knows!!!

The thing is that this time the php installation ended with erros. And they are related to the libphp4.so.

It said:
libroll: install warning remember to run 'libtool --finish /usr/src/php-4.3.10/libs

Warning! dlname not found in /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp4.la

Assuming installing a .so rather a libtool archive
chmod 755 /usr/local/apache/modules/libphp4.so
chmod: attributes of: No such file or directory

apxs. Error Command falied withrc:65536
make: ***[install-sapi] Error 1

I hope i wrote everything appeared on the screen right becasue i am not able to copy from the monitor to any application(it si posted as well in this forum).

So i executed the following sentence:
#libtool --finish /usr/src/php-4.3.10/libs

And i installed again.

I didnt get again the errors above written but i couldnt start the web server. The error i got is:
(98) Address already in use:
make_sock: could not bind to adress 0.0.0.0:80

But i reboot the system (i am sorry ia had to do that) and now it works. I will try now to see if php works.

Thanks for all your tips.

papitu76

it works, i could make wok a file with php code.

Thanks to every one.
