Bug #3822: Apache dies when trying to load PHP Module

From: john_peterson@usa.net Operating system: RedHat 6.1 PHP version: 3.0.15 PHP Bug Type: Installation problem Bug description: Apache dies when trying to load PHP Module I have followed the INSTALL.REDHAT instructions. In addition I am running the following: Apache 1.3.9-8 (with devel) MySQL 3.22.32-1 (just installed new client, shared, etc...) PHP 3.0.15 (of course..) all on a K6-233 with 128MB of RAM... I was originally running the apache that came with RedHat 6.1 (1.3.9-4), but then I upgraded after hours of problems. I will step through what I do... 1. In php directory '/usr/src/php-3.0.15' I run the configure script './configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-mysql --with-xml' 2. run 'make' 3. run 'make install' Everything goes just fine. PHP script says it is modifying stuff and adding lines to conf, etc... so I go to start apache by entering '/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start' (or restart as needed). Says webserver started [OK]. But when I do a 'ps -aux|grep httpd' I have nothing because apache has crashed. However, there are no details in error_log or /var/log/messages. Quite frustrating. I'm sorry to have to ask for tech support on a product, but after 5 hours of debugging and trying everything I can I am out of options. I hope you guys can help.
