Bug #15773 Updated: LoadModule directive incorrectly added to httpd.conf when mod_ssl is used

ID: 15773 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: dswhite42@yahoo.com -Status: Analyzed +Status: Closed Bug Type: Apache related Operating System: SunOS 5.8 PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: This really isn't PHP problem. And there already are installation instructions in the INSTALL file which everybody _should_ read. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 13:31:27] dswhite42@yahoo.com It appears this issue was reported to the Apache group almost exactly a year ago (3/2/2001 - http://bugs.apache.org/index.cgi/full/7340), which may not bode well for seeing it fixed in Apache anytime soon. If nothing else, perhaps PHP could warn users to manually validate their new httpd.conf once they've finished compiling/building PHP with --with-apxs . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 02:04:53] rasmus@php.net Yes, this httpd.conf file mangling is done by apxs which is outside the domain of PHP. I suppose we could try to work around it somehow, but it would be rather non-trivial. The most we might be able to do is detect the situation and tell apxs not to try to mangle the httpd.conf file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-28 02:00:32] dswhite42@yahoo.com (This actually applies to PHP 4.1.2, but the pulldown box on the bug reporting page hasn't been updated to reflect that yet). When Apache (1.3.23) is compiled with mod_ssl (2.8.7) as a DSO module, mod_ssl automatically adds this to httpd.conf: ... <IfDefine SSL> LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so </IfDefine> Later, when building a DSO version of PHP (4.1.2), using the --with-apxs option, PHP helpfully tries to add the appropriate LoadModule/AddModule directives to httpd.conf. However, it appears to guess incorrectly where the LoadModule directive should go, so httpd.conf now contains this: ... <IfDefine SSL> LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so </IfDefine> which will cause PHP not to load (and httpd to not start) unless SSL is also running. The solution, of course, is for httpd.conf to look like this: <IfDefine SSL> LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so </IfDefine> LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so (actually, as I dig into the PHP code, I'm beginning to wonder if it's an apxs problem rather than a PHP problem. Still, even if it is, perhaps PHP's installer can work around it?) Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15773&edit=1
