problem with 4.1.1, apache 1.3.23

hi folks.. i've installed a new apache (1.2.23) with mod_ssl, compiled all without errors.. then i built php (4.1.1), the so-module with apxs.. how it's usual.. from this point on, apache doesn't came up anymore ;-(.. he showed no errors when making startssl, but no processes were started when making a ps aux.. for testing if it's php's or mod_ssl's thing, i commented the loadmodule-line in the httpd.conf from the php4_module.. et voilà, after that it came up without any problems (startssl).. so i think it must be php's problem.. has anyone seen this behaviour already? how can i solve it? it were really nice to have an apache with php, he's really "nude" this way ;-)) here's my configure i did..: ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/apache/bin/apxs --with- openssl --disable-short-tags --with-bz2 --with-ccvs -- enable-ftp --with-mcrypt --with- mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-ncurses --enable-shared then, sure, apache produced an entry into the error- log, here is it: [Thu Feb 7 23:59:13 2002] [warn] pid file /usr/apache/logs/httpd.pid overwritten -- Unclean shutdown of previous Apache run? as i read that message, i tried to fire up apache every time with deleting the pid-file before making a new try. also that had no affect.. massive thanks if you can help me, my home- mailinglist (the german one) had no comments for me ;-( so you are one of my last chances ;-) greetings from switzerland bye dario ps: the server is a debian potato, newest kernel build.. -- root@dn2k.ch / dn2k.ch "R.I.P., billy boy..."
