Apache2 + php5 won't load

mustangfanatic · 04-14-2006, 06:43 PM

I am running the newest versions of php5 and apache 2.2 as of April 13th, 2006. I installed php after apache was up and running. When I try to start apache with the php module I get the following error.

root@Server:# /usr/local/httpd/bin/apachectl -k start
httpd: Syntax error on line 54 of /usr/local/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: API module structure `php5_module' in file /usr/libexec/apache/libphp5.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?

From what I could gather from google php is not support apache 2.2 yet? Surely there are people with Apache 2.2 who are running php support. Does anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

How did you configure PHP?

When you build PHP5, the build went ok? What configure command did you use?

Given how new Apache 2.2 is, I would be patient and wait for things like PHP to catch up.

Also, see if there is any Apache 2.0 backward compatibility at the DSO level in Apache 2.2. That might help.

Peace...

I just did a standard ./configure, make, make install. I havent been able to find any information to point me to any kind of options that might fix the problem.

I'm surprised compiling PHP5 as an Apache 2.2 DSO would result in the problem you're getting.

You didn't get any messages or anything from APXS when building PHP5?

Try compiling PHP5 with the --with-apxs2 option

As an example, here is my PHP configure string:

Code:

./configure  --with-zlib=/usr/ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-gd \ 
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-bz2 --enable-gd-native-ttf --with-freetype-dir=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/ --with-openssl

Exactly.

I figured he had done that already and not tried to reuse an existing Apache 2.0 PHP DSO. We'll find out soon enough.

Peace...

Ok I'll give it a shot when I'm at work tommorrow

I did the configure with apxs2 support. It even put the loadmodule in my httpd.conf file for me. Apache now starts without errors. I assumed that means that php is installed properly but I don't think that it is. When I browse to the install script for phpBB forums it doesn't load it right. I just see the text file. How can I check for sure to see if php is installed properly?

*EDIT*
Solution: PHP install didn't add the following line, which once added fixed the problem. Thanks for the help everyone!

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml

Create a php file with this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php echo phpinfo; ?>
