Re: [RFC] APXS LoadModule Option in configure

No, it happens and it's even clearly documented in APXS. Basically, if you specify the "-a" option in APXS, it overwrites your httpd.conf (or apache.conf or whatever it is on your system) and adds the LoadModule line to it. In PHP's configure script, you'll notice that "-a" is always specified; there's no option to use APXS without it. As a result, "make install" will always overwrite your LoadModule entry in httpd.conf if APXS is enabled. The problem occurs when you have LoadModule in an included .conf file already; APXS does not have the ability to detect that. Therefore, a "duplicate" LoadModule entry is added to httpd.conf by APXS, and thus the clash occurs. This behavior has been reproduced numerous times. I think the RFC is pretty clear on how this works. Nobody else has expressed confusion thus far. I could clarify further but I'm not sure how; it's pretty straight-forward, really. I'm not sure what may have been happening in your case or if perhaps you misunderstood what this RFC is about. Either way, I would recommend you create a fresh Linux-based build environment, build Apache 2.2 and PHP 5.3.10 yourself (i.e. stay away from yum/apt-get), then attempt to generate an APXS-enabled Makefile using PHP's configure script that does not activate APXS with the "-a" option. It might also be a good idea for you to check-out the APXS documentation (I included a link to it on the RFC). Those steps should enable you to reproduce this. =) --Kris On Fri, Feb 24, 2012 at 4:02 PM, Christopher Jones < christopher.jones@oracle.com> wrote: > > On 02/24/2012 03:54 PM, Kris Craig wrote: > >> LoadModule clashes still happen in the current releases.
