Bug #17881 Updated: Apache will not start after I installed apache & php

ID: 17881 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: ptaylor@comdt.uscg.mil Status: Bogus Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: Freebsd PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Undefined symbol "core_globals" this message is related to linker/loader errors usualy created by configuring with --enable-versioning and then trying to load an extension into php on certain platforms what you experience is most likely not a php bug but some strange effect introduced in your setup at some point i've been building php on freebsd 3.3 and 4.4 myself every once in a while, including without problems, and just tried *exactly* the steps you gave in your first post, with the only difference that i have freebsd 4.4 instead of 4.3 and everthing works fine please aks for help on the php-general or php-install mailing list ( http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php ) and do not blame php or the php documentation for whatever mishappened on your system Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 19:49:55] sniper@php.net Do you have these lines in httpd.conf LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so AddModule mod_php4.c (These should be added by the apxs script automatically.) To uninstall everything properly, if your /www directory only contains the PHP/Apache stuff, then just rm -rf /www Anyway, this is not any bug in PHP. Please ask further support questions on these mailing lists: php-install@lists.php.net or php-general@lists.php.net --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 19:33:42] ptaylor2@comdt.uscg.mil I installed it a few times because php does not support the current version of apache 2.x, then I deleted the apache and the php directory, and re-installed them. Can you please tell me that exact file name or extensions that I need to delete, or please explain here how I can re-install apache and php again so it will work. Thank you Phillip Taylor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 19:09:22] sniper@php.net Did you have any shared extensions installed before? Any Zend extensions (like the zendoptimizer) ?? Or was this the first time you installed PHP on this machine? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 13:09:28] ptaylor@comdt.uscg.mil This is the error I am getting. ptay1-ds# /www/bin/apachectl start Syntax error on line 205 of /www/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /www/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /www/libexec/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "core_globals" /www/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started ptay1-ds# This is how I installed apache and php and the files that I included in the httpd.conf file I followed all of these steps to install the current version of php on my freebsd server 4.3 and apache 1.3.26. 1. gunzip apache_xxx.tar.gz 2. tar -xvf apache_xxx.tar 3. gunzip php-xxx.tar.gz 4. tar -xvf php-xxx.tar 5. cd apache_xxx 6. ./configure --prefix=/www --enable-module=so 7. make 8. make install 9. cd ../php-xxx 10. ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs 11. make 12. make install If you decide to change your configure options after installation you only need to repeat the last three steps. You only need to restart apache for the new module to take effect. A recompile of Apache is not needed. 11. cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini You can edit your .ini file to set PHP options. If you prefer this file in another location, use --with-config-file-path=/path in step 8. 12. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and check that these lines are present and not commented out: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so You can choose any extension you wish here. .php is simply the one we suggest. You can even include .html, and .php3 can be added for backwards compatibility. The path on the right hand side of the LoadModule statement must point to the path of the PHP module on your system. The above statement is correct for the steps shown above. 13. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by use a HUP or USR1 signal.) Apache is installed in the /www and I added all the lines as it said in the docs to the httpd.conf file. Why am I getting this error when I try and start up appache? /www/bin/apachectl start These two lines are in my httpd.conf file LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so AddType application/x-httpd-php .php ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17881&edit=1
