note 49204 added to install.unix.apache2

Building PHP 5.x with Apache2 on SuSE Professional 9.1/9.2 SuSE uses a rather fragmented set of Apache configuration files stored in /etc/apache2/. When you configure PHP 5.x with: $ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2 $ make everything builds just fine; but when you issue: $ su -c "make install" the unconventional Apache conf file layout confuses the install-sapi section of the Makefile and the process halts with the following error: apxs:Error: Config file /etc/apache2/httpd2-prefork.conf not found. make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 At this point only the PHP SAPI library has been copied into place; the rest of the files (like PEAR scripts, PHP-CLI, etc) have not been installed. But never fear! You can overcome this problem with the following steps: 1. Edit Makefile and change the following line to remove "install-sapi": install_targets = install-sapi install-cli install-pear install-build install-headers install-programs 2. Issue the make install command again: $ su -c "make install" 3. Add the PHP module & type instructions to the Apache configuration. As root, create a new file, /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf that contains the following lines: LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/libphp5.so AddType application/x-httpd-php php --- And that's it. Everything else is just as the documentation suggests it should be. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.unix.apache2.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49204 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49204&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49204&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49204&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49204&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49204&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49204&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
