Re: PHP instalation error. PLEASE HELP!

The is: LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so After two hours of searching on the 'net I found something that might be connected to it. Full story can be found at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general&m=97599501532213&w=2 But I have installed mysql from binary distribution - how to heck should I solve this? I'll try to recompile php with that parameter and let's see... Maybe I'll go for the mysql source and try that aproach. Dezider Qoute follows: THE SOLUTION: FIRST: MYSQL: When compiling MySQL (from source - you can't use the binary!) - use the "--with-lz" option like this: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql-3.23.28 --with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-lz SECOND: PHP4: After you do your ./configure... [with any options you want] After you do your "make" THEN go find the file in the root of your PHP source folder called: libphp4.la Look for the lines that say: # Libraries that this one depends upon. dependency_libs='.... [blah blah blah] ... -lmysqlclient' and ADD to that line, somewhere in that same line, these three characters: -lz THIRD: ONE LAST POSSIBLE ERROR: If you get the error "cannot find libmysqlclient.so.10" on trying to start Apache: 1. do a "locate" command to find what it's looking for. mine was in "/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql" 2. Using a text editor, open "/etc/ld.so.conf". 3. Add the directory in which the problematic file exists. 4. Save the file. Type "ldconfig". 5. go back to PHP4 compiling again. Where I wrote "SECOND: PHP4" above. That's it! It took me 13 hours yesterday to find out why this wasn't working, and I've successfully installed PHP4 about 20 times in my life. Never had this many problems. Hopefully this archived message helps someone in the future.
