Installing PHP as an apache module?


I'm trying to install Logicampus, an open-source alternative to Blackboard, which is an online educational class management system.

I actually have it installed but when I try to run it I get these errors:

Warning: gzuncompress: buffer error in /var/www/html/logicreate/lib/LC_user.php on line 106

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: apache_request_headers() in /var/www/html/logicreate/lib/LC_user.php on line 167

Someone told me they thought I'm getting the apache_request_headers() error because I don't have PHP installed as an apache module. 2 questions --

1. How do I go about changing the apache setup?

2. Will this interfere with other programs I have running -- phpBB, drupal, mamboserver (all of which run fine)?

My set up is
RedHat 9
PHP 4.2.2
MySQL 3.23.58
Apache 2.0.40

Thanks!

Hi -

1. Determining whether mod_php is installed (and *which* mod_php):

Assuming PHP is installed and working, the easiest way to find
out about mod_php is to use the function "phpinfo()":

a) cd to your Apache DocumentRoot directory
EXAMPLE: cd /var/www/htdocs

b) Write the following PHP script:
EXAMPLE: vi phpinfo.php =>
<?php
phpinfo ();
?>

c) Point your web browser at the script to execute it:
EXAMPLE: http://MYSERVER/phpinfo.php
<= LOOK IN THE "LOADED MODULES" OF THE "APACHE" SECTION.
IF MOD_PHP IS LOADED, YOU SHOULD SEE IT
(NOTE: IT PROBABLY IS, AND YOU PROBABLY WILL...)

2. Have you considered looking at your include_path directive in your php.ini configuration file?
EXAMPLE: vi /etc/php.ini =>
; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
include_path = ".:/opt/gforge-3.21/hp/includes";

'Hope that helps .. PSM

OK, I actually had a phpinfo() script written. I ran it, and there are no modules listed under Apache. It says "Additional Modules" and lists sysvhm and sysvsem but doesn't have anything else listed.

Seems weird to me, but I don't know enough to know....
