PHP 4.0 Bug #7212 Updated: Writing to HTTPD.Conf

ID: 7212 User Update by: clivestorey@cwcom.net Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Description: Writing to HTTPD.Conf Hi After another 8 hrs we have tried a variety of new things. We dumped php-4.0.3 and installed php-4.0.3pl1 followed the instructions for DSO install using: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs make make install there were no faults. In the httpd.conf file the programme had now written the AddModules mod_php4.c to the correct location but still puts LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp4.so at the bottom of the file. Moving this to the correct location and running apache we get the error that it cannot find the file etc/httpd/lib/apache/libphp4.so which is correct because this does not excist. On changing the path to modules/libphp4.so and checking with httpd -t we get SYNTAX OK segmentation fault (core dump). This problem is shown in bug 5701/4850 We have also encountered all of the syptoms in bug 6803/6674/5791/5758 As stated somewhere it is very frustating that we could get php-4.0.2 working Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-14 17:37:53] clivestorey@cwcom.net After 27 hours of trying to install PHP4.0.3 we are lost. I cannot see the trouble we are having anywhere else/ so this maybe a bug or just us newbies. Apache 1.3.x We configured php-4.0.3 with ./configure --with-mysql=/usr --with-apxs there were no problems or error messages , nor with make & make install. On checking the httpd.conf file we see that the install programme has written to the file: LoadModule php4_module lib/apache/libphp.so AddModule mod_php4.c We assume the programme is instructed to right these at the place after where it finds the last corresponding entry. In our case this places them after LoadModule put module modules/mod_put and AddModule mod_php4.c this is way down in the section for home/http/html and causes the server not to run. We believe they should be placed in the section where all the other LoadModules are, is this correct? Also the programme sends the LoadModule php4_module to the path /lib/apache/libphp4.so. We do not have that directory. We do have usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so but on using that it states that the directory does not exist. We also have (etc/httpd/conf/)modules/libphp4.so, we tried that path without success. Your help would be much appreciated --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7212
