Hi all, I'm running Apache 1.3.14 and PHP 4.0.1pl2 on Mac OS X Server (although I encountered the same problem when doing the install on a Yellowdog Linux box). Php is installed as a DSO module Apache and PHP installed fine, and work. My problem comes when trying to start apache. When I issue the start command, I get the standard message saying that Apache has started, but a ps -aux shows that none of the processes have started. In order to start the server, I need to comment out the AddModule and LoadModule lines that load the php4 module, start the server, uncomment the and issue a restart command. PHP then works fine until apache kills off it's children and then tries to restart them, it can't start the children, and only the root apache process is left running. any ideas? Brad.
