Re: apache+mysql+php4+redhat7

Hi, Here's a copy of a message I sent to php-install@lists.php.net on 27 Feb 2001: I've had the same problem und found quite a few similar questions but no answers in the archive. I even sent a mail to this list; but still no reply! So I started worrying some of my Unix friends until one of them came up with a solution. It appears that the options have been changed on PHP4. DSOs are no longer stored with relocation information (-R option I think - I don't know much about the compiler and loader options). The trick is to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before loading the library. I put the following into apachectl : LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/db/mysql/lib/mysql " export LD_LIBRARY_PATH That is, the standard path plus the path to libmysqlclient.so, which libphp4.so could not find. I hope this helps you Regards Mike Middleton On 3 Mar 2001, at 1:00, deco wrote: > > well, i've been trying to get php and mysql working on my fresh > installation of red hat 7... i decided to compile everything i need.
