I've been trying to get PHP working for a couple of days now but can't get it...
Finally went to comppile the source again and i got the following:

ext/ctype/ctype.lo: file not recognized: File truncated
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1

Has anyone had any experience with this cos i'd really like to start developing more PHP stuff

Oh and BTW, i'm running:

Redhat 9
Apache v2.0.48
PHP v4.3.3
MySQL v4.0.14

Thanks

Hmm. I'd try a 'make clean' and then 'make' again. If that fails you can 'make distclean' and re-run the ./configure script. I'm guessing that you're going to be using php + apache +mysql so you'll want to make sure that your config finds the right libs and headers.

K that was kewl, worked

Hmmmm still can't use PHP only my website tho, checked for the line:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And that's definately there... Anything else I should check for?

restart (not reload) apache?

did u use apxs or did you build php into apache?

Yup I restarted...

I built using Dynaminc Install (built into Apache)... Should I post my httpd.conf file?
Hmmmm if ya wanna ssh in I can give ya my IP...

You can (and should) figure this one out with Q & A. There's nothing to be gained by having a complete stranger on your machine and my 1-on-1 consulting fees are outrageous.

Ya need to rebuild apache (pretty sure another 'make' and 'make install' should cover it). Don't re-run the ./configure script for apache.

A few common snags...
- run 'which httpd' to check the path and 'slocate httpd' to see how many binaries are on your system (there can be one from your distro install, a previous 1.3.xx source build or others)
- run 'httpd -l' to see what your apache was built with
- run 'httpd -v' to check the version and build time (does it look right?)
- check that you're using the correct apachectl script (which apachectl) and slocate apachectl (to see if you have more than one available)
- check in the apachectl file and make sure it's starting the correct httpd.
- re-check your httpd.conf
- check /path/to/php.ini

Stop and then restart apache after that.

If you're still having problems post your ./configure options for your php build and your apache build.

Just a comment..
Make sure you have the mod_php4 included by your apache configuration file.
I think you will find this in the httpd.conf file.
