Hi; I get this error when I try to restart Apache: Syntax error on line 236 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /etc/httpd/libexec/libphp4.so The above file does, of course, exist. I'm running RH71 i386 with MySQL and PHP installed from source files. Here's my config script: ./configure --with-apxs=/etc/httpd/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos --with-ldap=/usr/local/openldap So, what gives? I've googled this one and it appears there's a lot of folks with this question unanswered!

From the PHP INSTALL file: <quote> Note 3! If you are on Linux and have installed shared libraries, make sure the location of these shared libraries are listed in your /etc/ld.so.conf file. For example, if you have: /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so Make sure /etc/ld.so.conf contains: /usr/local/lib/mysql Then run ldconfig. </quote> Do the above and this should take care of it.
