Apache with php problem

MartenH · 02-22-2010, 05:23 PM

Hello,

I am trying to set up an apache server. I figured i should use the latest version of apache (beeing apache2) since webmin was not fond of my first apache install.

I ran

Code:

 urpmi apache-mpm-worker

and it asked me about two different versions. One was "regular" and one was called "rsbac". rsbac wanted to update some kernel things which I didn't feel comfortable with so I installed the regular version.

Everything went fine until I tried to to install PHP support. When I run

Code:

urpmi apache-mod_php

I receive the following message:

Code:

[root@holisrv2 /]# urpmi apache-mod_php
The following package has to be removed for others to be upgraded:
apache-mpm-worker-2.2.14-1.2mdv2010.0.i586
 (due to conflicts with apache-mod_php) (y/N)

So adding php support would cause apache to be removed. That doesn't make sense...?

What am I doing wrong?

Try this post, I realise it's a different OS/distro but it's not overly ubuntu specific.

Historically, you use Apache's prefork MPM with mod_php (not the worker MPM). My guess is your package manager's dependencies are designed to reflect that.
