Apache/mod_ssl/mysql/oracle/Jserv/php4rcx/x86Redhat6.2 should work?

Hi, I'm trying to set up a web server running Apache, and have run into a problem. What I'd like to do is have an Apache server that can run Jserv, mod_ssl, and php running w/ oracle and mysql support on Redhat 6.2 for x86. I managed to get everything running fine until I finally added Oracle into PHP. Then, things stopped working badly. Before I added Oracle, and had stock Redhat 6.2 running a freshly compiled copy of Apache 1.3.12. I added OpenSSL 0.9.5a, mod_ssl 2.6.4, and PHP_rc1 with MySQL support, and finally JServ 1.1 (using IBM 1.1.18 jdk, and Sun JSDK 2.0). Yes, we do need PHP4, though I don't remember why. So, far, all is good. I can connect to Apache on either ssl or non-ssl port, and run my entire web site with accesses both MySQL and Oracle databases (Oracle done via servlet only) with no problems. Most of the web site is generated via php, and I can access MySQL db via PHP and servlets. So, I finally go to add Oracle support into PHP, re-compile PHP, so far no error messages -- compiled perfectly. I then attempt to fire up Apache, and nothing. No httpd, no error messages of any sort. There's a reference in the Jserv logs about Jserv attempting to start, but thats about it (and yes, I attempted all this w/o starting Jserv, no difference except no log info at all). I installed the Oracle client and the Oracle programmer software on my Apache server (the Oracle server itself is on a different machine). And I do have the ORACLE enviro settings set. So, after playing around w/ different combinations and trying some ideas I found on the 'net, I managed to get things running, but only if I 1. Only use PHP_rc1. If I use rc2 it doesn't work at all. 2. Use the Oracle 8.0.5 libraries instead of the current 8.1.5 libraries. 3. Start Apache in non-ssl mode only. If I try ssl mode, it doesn't work at all. This above combination sucks. While I don't think I yet need the functionality of the 8.1.5 libraries, it would be nice to have them installed in case I do. But, I do need to have the secure capabilities of mod_ssl. Lastly, I'm looking forward to the release of PHP4.0 and not being able to use RC2 doesn't make me feel too good. Has anyone ever managed to get this combination to work? I'm I pushing Apache too hard to get all these services running on the single server? I'm thinking that perhaps I just try to get Oracle 8.1.5 working w/ apache and php first, then add the other stuff later? Should Oracle 8.1.5 work with PHP4_rc1 or rc2? I noticed code in the configure file that is _successfully_ detecting my Oracle version (for both versions of the libraries :) If the above combination doesn't work, is there another way of accessing Oracle on the same web server server through some sort of other 3rd party module that PHP can talk to? -- maybe another Apache module or some sort of PHP module? I don't know if it will help, but I supplied the ./configure I used for php when I added the oracle support (we will probably be running multiple Apache servers for a different reason, and have multiple PHP just in case -- that's why PHP is in a funky place): make clean export CFLAGS=-DEAPI; ./configure --with-mysql --with-oracle --prefix=/usr/local/apache/sportsmvp --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/sportsmvp/bin/apxs --enable-track-vars make make install The configure statement is all one line, it just looks seperated because of the email client. Anyway, I'd appreciate any help or ideas anyone might have? I'd really like to get this combination to work :))) Thanks! Jon Monroe Systems Administrator Active Arts, SportsMVP jonm@sportsmvp.com
