Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2021-08-09 14:14:07] cmb@php.net Is this still an issue with any of the actively supported PHP versions[1]? [1] <https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-28 16:25:12] childers dot paula at epa dot gov PHP 5.5.2 on RHEL 2.6.32-358.11.1.el6.x86_64 Similar but not identical issue: --exec-prefix is read, but --libexecdir and --sysconfdir are not. For those two variables, the default configure is pulling in a path to a different installed Apache on the same server (we have 4 total), which we believe was the last thing that was built & installed using "config/make" prior to this PHP build. Setting the --libexecdir and --sysconfdir explicitly at configure does not change anything, the incorrect path is still used. Since the Apache libs are currently all the same version, we were able to move the libphp5.so to the correct Apache's /libexec dir and still use it, but this may not be possible in the future if one Apache is upgraded prior to the others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-01-19 20:12:36] david at davidfavor dot com Description: ------------ The INSTALL_IT target hardcodes apxs2 directories making it very difficult to install multiple versions of php or relocate php. This also causes unexpected over writing of system php files, causing Apache to segfault. Fixes are a bit complex because they involve configure + Makefile. Suggest the end result produce a Makefile which honors these setting in all cases. So Makefile should include... sysconfdir=argument_passed_to_configure || /usr/lib/apache2/modules libexecdir=${exec_prefix}/argument_passed_to_configure || /etc/apache2 INSTALL_IT target then changes to... INSTALL_IT = $(mkinstalldirs) '$(INSTALL_ROOT)/$libexecdir' && \ $(mkinstalldirs) '$(INSTALL_ROOT)/$sysconfdir' && \ /usr/bin/apxs2 -S LIBEXECDIR='$(INSTALL_ROOT)/$libexecdir' \ -S SYSCONFDIR='$(INSTALL_ROOT)/$sysconfdir' \ -i -a -n php5 libphp5.la ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60812&edit=1
