RE: [PHP-INST] RE: Problem loading php-module as DSO into Apache httpd

Hi ! We finally managed to get Apache + PHP4 + MySql running on our solaris 2.8 box. The LoadModule/AddModule instruction to load the php4 module in httpd.conf is exactly what I found in the INSTALL file of the PHP4 source distribution. I will attach 2 small text files which outline all the steps we undertook. Hope it works on your system as well. I cross my fingers!

I am having issues with php4.2.0 cr4, but the compile went clean and the module isn't complaining at least. On Thu, 18 Apr 2002, Todd Mortensen wrote: > I tried what you suggested.

What I did before I started configure/make/make install against Apache 1.3.24: ============================================================================== - copy libap.a from /opt/packages_cpq/apache_1.3.24/src/ap to /usr/lib (this is the archive containing all the ap_*_* symbols) I was under the impression that "ld" could not locate it in the source path of apache, but I am not sure!!! - unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH - rename the gnu "ld" command to "gnu-ld" and use the standard solaris ld instead I think this was the most important part. The gnu ld comes with the gnu binutils package. To make sure you are using the solaris ld, just invoke it manually on the command line. The solaris "ld" displays this message on the screen: kjs008-/opt/packages_cpq/apache_1.3.24> ld usage: ld [-6:abc:d:e:f:h:il:mo:p:rstu:z:B:CD:F:GI:L:M:N:P:Q:R:S:VY:?] file(s) The gnu "ld" command comes up like this: kjs008-/opt/packages_cpq/apache_1.3.24> gnu-ld --version GNU ld 2.11.2 Copyright 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Supported emulations: elf32_sparc elf64_sparc My configure line for apache was: ================================= ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache \ --enable-module=so --enable-module=rewrite My configure line for PHP4 was: =============================== ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs \ --enable-track-vars --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-zlib I am using the source distribution of zlib-1.1.4 which installs under /usr/local/lib/libz.a I needed zlib because I am using mysql-support with php4. If I do not include zlib, Apache complains about an undefined symbol "compress" when loading libphp4.so. MySql is the binary distribution currently available on sunfreeware.com.
