Since threads are completely broken on FreeBSD, Apache2 defaults to the prefork MPM which is a non-threaded MPM. So all this stuff is not necessary. Simply build PHP non-threaded and it will work. In the latest CVS I added a check for the prefork MPM and turned off threading in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-24 13:20:50] bpopp@midsouth.rr.com I was having this same problem on Redhat 7.1 trying to install 2.0.36 and PHP 4.2.1. Through a myriad of different installation procedures, I ended up making a change to my sapi/apache2filter/php_functions.c file, installing GNU pth, and adding a lib directory to the root php directory before running 'make install'. After doing all this I got a successful build, but I ended up getting the pth_mutex_release error when trying to start apache. My original config line looked like : ./configure --with-mysql --with-tsrm-pth=/usr/local/libs/pth --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apx s --with-xml --enable-track-vars The --with-tsrm-pth=/usr/local/libs/pth part was recommended in a google search. It was apparently invalid for my install and ultimately the part that caused the pth_mutex_release problem (despite a successful build). After removing the path (and allowing it to use the default), Apache ran fine and PHP works perfectly. I'm guessing my /usr/local/libs/pth directory is an old version of pth which doesn't handle the pth_mutex_release() function in the same way as newer versions. Hope this helps.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-22 18:46:33] FullyArticulate@yahoo.com Your response to his error is incorrect. When I do not correctly specify --with-tsrm-pth, Iget the error "Undefined symbol 'pthread_getspecific'". If I *DO* specify the --with-tsrm-pth correctly, I get, "Undefined symbol 'pthread_mutex_release'". These are two different errors which are dependent upon whether --with-tsrm-pth was specified correctly or not. Regardless, I still cannot get PHP-4.2.1 to work with Apache 2.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-13 09:46:48] sniper@php.net See bug: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14594 which has good explanation what the problem is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-15 13:07:18] dsp@edu.physics.uoc.gr hi and thanks for reading , i am using a freebsd 4.5 on an i386 , running php 4.2.1 , apache 2.0.36 ,pth 1.4.1(as requested from php). When i try to start httpd i get the following error message "Cannot load /usr/share/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/share/apache2/modules/libphp4.so :Undefined symbol "pth_mutex_release"" i found out that pth_mutex_release is a synchronization function ...(?!?) anybody has any idea? thanks again DsP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17255&edit=1
