Hey all,

I'm trying to get an apache 1.x server to go with php and mysql on my bsd machine. I've downloaded the latest php source and configured it like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-mysql=/usr/local/ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs

but to not avail.

The apache log shows:

[Wed Jan 7 13:57:29 2004] [notice] Apache/1.3.28 (Unix) PHP/4.3.4 mod_ssl/2.8.15 OpenSSL/0.9.7b configured -- resuming normal operations


so it looks like the modules is being loaded properly, however when I view the page I get a:


Warning: session_start(): open(/tmp/sess_c9f01a766506faf1a28048c934ea06cd, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2) in /htdocs/navbar.php on line 3



I've also checked the permisssions on tmp, and its 777.


Thanks for you help in advance,

Why wouldn't you use the existing port? Also, what BSD are you using? There are difference you know.

Thanks Chort,

I'm using openBSD 3.4. I never used the existing port because I couldn't figure out how I was supposed to compile it with apxs and mysql. Is there a config file or is ports supposed to do that automatically ?

-Kilka

depending on your shell either

# setenv FLAVOR "mysql"
or
# export FLAVOR="mysql"
# make install
# setenv FLAVOR ""
or
# unset FLAVOR

As near as I can tell, apxs is included by default, but MySQL is not. setting FLAVOR to mysql should cause it to be included (I see the depend is in one of the makefiles).

sort of fixed my own problem, unfortunatly everything is not quite yet fixed.

Apparently you've got to create a tmp folder in /var/www/ because it is chrooted The flavor environmental variable you suggested Chort doesn't seem to work, php is not loaded with mysql support. I've seen some other forums with php4-mysql packages, but there isn't one in the ports tree. There is however an extensions branch, maybe it has something to do with this ?

Thanks again Chort, you've saved me a bunch

Chort,

Have you ever had a problem when installing something with ports when tar can't find listed files. It's like an env is not set or something. What I mean, is tar can't find files in pkg/PLIST (lists included files) unless I go in and replace the ${var} with the absolute path.

Ever seen this before ? It has become very time consuming.
