Apache won't start

essdeeay · 01-24-2007, 07:20 PM

I'm using Gentoo, and for some reason the Apache2 service won't start. I get the following error:

Code:

 * Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files:
Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: libmysqlclient.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The file /etc/apache2/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf, reads:

Code:

# vim: ft=apache sw=4 ts=4
<IfDefine PHP4>

        # Load the module first
        <IfModule !sapi_apache2.c>
                LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
        </IfModule>

        # Set it to handle the files
        <IfModule mod_mime.c>
                AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
                AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml
                AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
                AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4
                AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
        </IfModule>

        AddDirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml
</IfDefine>

The file libphp4.so is present:

Code:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4074876 Feb  6  2006 /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp4.so

How do I go about solving this?

Many thanks,
Steve

According to your error message apache is looking for libmysqlclient.so.14.

Is it there and in the right place?

No it's not, but there IS one called libmysqlclient.so.15 in /usr/lib/mysql/

Is this a mysql problem then?

Thanks,
Steve

Looks so. Try creating a link from libmysqlclient.so to libmysqlclient.so.14. Most of times it works
