Pracle8, PHP4 and Apache

Hi! I have a serious problem that I have to resole it as soon as possible: On a Linux box (RedHat 6.2) I installed Oracle 8.1.6 and everything is ok until now. Now I need to compile PHP4 with OCI8 support. I downloaded php-4.0.1pl2.tar.gz and I configure it with the following options: ./configure --with-apxs --with-oci8 --enable-sigchild Enviroment variable ORACLE_HOME exists and contains the correct path. After that I issued "make" and "make install", I created a symbolic link in /usr/lib for libclntsh.so.8, I issued "ldconfig" and I add required AddType directive in httpd.conf. So far, so good. But when I restart Apache, it crashed without any error message. No "resuming normal operations" note was written in error_log. I issued a "make distclean" in php source directory and then I recompile it without --enable-sigchild (although it recommends me to include it for Oracle >= 8.1.5), I compiled it and instaled it again and a started Apache again. With the same fatal result: crash. The courious thing is that when I compile php4 again only with --with-apxs and without oci8 support (without --with-oci8 and --enable-sigchild) Apache started correctly and php4 working. So, my BIG problem is why I cannot have a operational Apache server with php4 compiled with OCI8 support? I'm so desperate that I beg everyone who run Oracle 8.1.6 on a Linux server and that have php4 compiled with oci8, to send me libphp4.so by e-mail, if this could help. Apache server is one from RH 6.2 distribution (1.3.12-2) and my kernel version is 2.2.16 Thx a lot in advance, Radu -- Radu Filip Network Administrator @CCTI | tuiasi.ro radu@tuiasi.ro ccti@tuiasi.ro http://socrate.tuiasi.ro/ http://www.ccti.tuiasi.ro/
