RE: [PHP-INST] problem installing php on apache 2 after unistalli ng apach 1.3

How are you compiling httpd? Should be something like ./configure --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs/binary --with-config-file-path=/path/to/httpd.conf/directory --enable-track-vars...blahblahblah... If you are, and you're receiving this error - then it's possible that you did not compile apache2 with DSO support (enable-module=so)...then you're stuck actually compiling php INTO apache rather than as a module.

I can't get php to work. When i install from the source i follow the instructions. But when i get to the 'make install' i get some errors as follows: make[1]: Entering directory `/root/unzipped/php-4.2.1' /root/unzipped/php-4.2.1/build/shtool mkdir -p "/usr/lib/apache" && apxs -S LIBEXECDIR="/usr/lib/apache" -i -a -n php4 libs/libphp4.so apxs:Warning: /usr/sbin/httpd not found or not executable apxs:Warning: Continuing anyway... apxs:Warning: Sorry, no DSO support for Apache available apxs:Warning: under your platform. Make sure the Apache apxs:Warning: module mod_so is compiled into your server apxs:Warning: binary `/usr/sbin/httpd'. apxs:Warning: Continuing anyway... apxs:Error: Config file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf not found make[1]: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/unzipped/php-4.2.1' make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 I think that's why my php install isn't working. And in my httpd.conf file i have the following line: <IfDefine HAVE_PHP4> LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so </IfDefine> but i don't have anything in my module directory. Is this because the 'make install' didn't work properly I'm also thinking that from the error messages that php is getting confused as to where apache is installed. Apache 2 is installed in /usr/local/apache2 the old apache install (which was installed when linux installed) was removed and it use to live in /etc/httpd/ which shows up in some of the warning messages above. Any one have any ideas? Thanks a bunch, i'm totally lost.
