#3168 [Opn->]: cannot start apache 1.3.9 if mysql is compiled in, but can RESTART successfully

ID: 3168 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: seth@psy.au.dk -Status: Open +Status: Won\'t fix Bug Type: Dynamic loading related Operating System: Linux 2.2.10 PHP Version: 3.0.13 New Comment: We are sorry, but can not support PHP 3 related problems anymore. Momentum is gathering for PHP 5, and we think supporting PHP 3 will lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 5 ready. Ofcourse PHP 4 will will continue to be supported for the forseeable future. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-01-27 03:58:46] seth@psy.au.dk I tried with Apache 1.3.11 -- Same problem. Apachctl configtest shows synxtax OK But if mysql is compiled into php-3.0.14, then Apache will not start. If Apache is started without the php module, then it is possible to successfuly restart Apache with the php module. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-01-25 09:00:37] seth@psy.au.dk [2000-01-24 14:00:46] joey@cvs.php.net What does apachectl configtest say? Syntax OK ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-01-24 14:00:46] joey@cvs.php.net What does apachectl configtest say? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-01-16 13:56:41] seth@psy.au.dk I made some more experiments: 1. Same problem as described above if: (a) use 3.0.7 (b) use 3.0.14 (c) compile with only --with-mysql (i.e., eliminate possible interactions with other modules.) 2. If I use apache-1.3.6 and exactly the same php module that was not working as described above, then it DOES work. In short, my problem seems to be some interaction between how apache-1.3.9 starts up the dynamic loading of modules and the php (with mysql) module, because, as mentioned already, there is no problem to get things to work via restart, AFTER httpd has been started ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-01-10 23:56:50] seth@psy.au.dk Please see Bug id #2187. I have had identical problems as described there. (and tried to add my comments there, but could not figure out how to do it. Sorry) Using apache 1.3.9, linux-2.2.10, and php-3.0.13 (or php-4.0b3) If I compile php-3.0.113 or php-4.0b3 WITHOUT mysql, then I can repeatedly start and stop apache with no problem (with the php module being loaded) If I compile mysql into the php module, then I cannot start http. (No errors are reported in the apache log file or on the screen. I have tried with apachectl, with a /etc/rc.d/init.d/http script, and with simply httpd. No success. apachectl configtest and httpd -t reports that the syntax is OK) I also discovered the "trick" reported in Bug #2187. First comment out the php module in the apache config file, start httpd, then uncomment the php module and RESTART the server. And then it works fine, it is possible to use the mysql database, etc., etc. So....everything seems to work fine....BUT, if I now STOP the server, then it is not possible to start again... (FWIW, I also have a 2.0.36, php-3.0.7, apache-1.3.6 machine running with mysql with no problems for over a year. ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=3168&edit=1
