Re: php4.2 configure script failure using apxs2 (apache-2.0.35)

Why are the suggested causes rubbish? Number 3 says that Apache needs to be compiled with dso support (--enable-so) and you don't have it in your Apache config line. Recompile Apache with: ./configure \ --enable-layout=RedHat \ --enable-ssl=shared \ --enable-disk-cache \ --enable-mem-cache \ --enable-mods-shared=all \ --enable-so make clean make make install --Jim >>> "Andy" <aaabbb@alb.org.uk> 05/06/02 10:02AM >>> I have tried running the configure script on both the current tarball download version of php4.2 (and also the latest CVS version) The compile script stops when it checks for apxs. I used the following command on both occations: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs I have re-compiled apache-2.0.35 several times in the belief that there was a problem with the installation. The configure command used for apache is: ./configure --enable-layout=RedHat --enable-ssl=shared --enable-disk-cache --enable-mem-cache --enable-mods-shared=all Apache compiles successfuly and works as expected. The end of the php4 configure script follows: ... Configuring SAPI modules checking for AOLserver support... no checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS... no checking for Apache 1.x module support... no checking for mod_charset compatibility option... no checking for Apache 2.0 module support via DSO through APXS... Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Possible reasons follow: 1. Perl is not installed 2. apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs 3. Apache was not built using --enable-so (the apxs usage page is displayed) The output of /usr/sbin/apxs follows: Usage: apxs -g [-S <var>=<val>] -n <modname> apxs -q [-S <var>=<val>] <query> ... apxs -c [-S <var>=<val>] [-o <dsofile>] [-D <name>[=<value>]] [-I <incdir>] [-L <libdir>] [-l <libname>] [-Wc,<flags>] [-Wl,<flags>] <files> ... apxs -i [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... apxs -e [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... configure: error: Aborting The suggested causes above (1,2,3) are rubbish. any ideas anyone?
