PHP Installation problem

tina_gora · 05-28-2001, 06:43 AM

Hi! All,

I have installed 1) apache_1.3.14 and installed it with following options:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max

Then installed PHP4.0.5 with following options
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs

and get the following error during "make install"

Syntax error on line 238 in httpd.conf

Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server:libmysqlclient.so.6 cannot open shared object: No such file or directory

But the file over there exists....

Please help.....

Can you post the relevant section of httpd.conf for us - say lines 235 - 240...

Cheers!

The configure script is having problems finding your MySQL libs. Try using --with-mysql=/usr/local (assuming you have the mysql libs installed). If you don't then just use --with-mysql or install the libs.

Thanks! for your support. Jeremy, you are right... It is not able to find the path for mysql libs...

The line is as under:

LoadModule PHP4-module libexec/libphp4.so

I am able to remove the error by creating a shortcut as given in the method at the website http://marc.theaimsgroup.com

but the php code embedded in html is not working...

The test code is
<HTML>
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
</HTML>

Does your file has the extension of .php? Have you enabled the handler on your httpd.conf (the installer might do this for you).
#
# And for PHP 4.x, use:
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

also....

make sure in httpd.conf, that you are adding the module after loading it... it should look like this...

Code:

AddModule mod_php4.c

that should be put in the AddModules section of httpd.conf..

FU%K! two edits... I cannot type today!

Hello!

First, thanks a lot for your technical support.

I was not just keeping the files in /usr/local/apache/htdocs which is the default path specified by DocumentRoot in httpd.conf.

Thanks!

Hi! Guys,

I am using the extension as .php

Also, I have put the lines told by Jharris.. Thanks! Jharris..

Moreover, the following 2 exists:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

AddModule mod_php4.c

But in vain...

Friends, What shud I do now...
