Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-10 23:27:07] neva@nevalabs.org I just confirmed it, loading or without loading pcre in php.ini gives the same error. Tested also with --without-pcre-regex, and the problem disappears. Maybe the PHP core feature that uses the pcre function is disabled when using --without-pcre-regex. So maybe doing the same when using --with-pcre-regex=shared should solve the problem...(?) Thanks for your attention and prompt response! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-10 21:27:45] sniper@php.net Verified with latest CVS HEAD. The reason for this error is that some places in PHP core use a function provided by the pcre extension..and when you build it as shared, that function is not available before you load the extension. (php_pcre_replace) Do you have this extension loaded in php.ini ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-10 19:27:09] neva@nevalabs.org Using --with-pcre-regex=shared with ./configure causes apache to give this message when starting: /usr/local/apache_1.3.26/bin/apachectl start Syntax error on line 237 of /usr/local/apache_1.3.26/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache_1.3.26/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/ apache_1.3.26/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: php_pcre_replace /usr/local/apache_1.3.26/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started This simple configure options leads to this problem: ./configure --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache_1.3.26/conf --includedir=/usr/include --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache_1.3.26/bin/apxs --disable-debug --enable-track-vars=yes --enable-memory-limit --enable-inline-optimization --with-gnu-ld --with-pcre-regex=shared Details about the system: Redhat 7.2, with all updates (glibc-2.2.4) Apache 1.3.26 PHP 4.2.1 Excluding --with-pcre-regex=shared from the ./configure line solves the problem, but this option used to work, at least with many older php 4.x versions. If you need any other info, please let me know.
