RE: [PHP4BETA] PHP/Oracle Silent Apache Crash

easy one;-) please relink your apache adding -lpthread to the LDFLAGS. the problem here is that a executable thats *not* linked agains -lpthread cannot load a shared library that is liked against -lpthread. (libphp4.so - linked against -lclntsh linked against -lpthread). this is a glibc-2.1 bug that supposed to be finxed in 2.2 (i heard). tc -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Hendrix [mailto:khendrix@pennypi.com] Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2000 6:20 AM To: Michael Nino Cc: 'php4beta@lists.php.net'; 'MichaelANino@netscape.net' Subject: Re: [PHP4BETA] PHP/Oracle Silent Apache Crash This has to do with pthreads. The Oracle libs > 8.0.5 for Linux use pthreads, so you must link your apache binary with pthread to get it to work properly. Add -lpthread to LDFLAGS and relink your apache binary. I struggled with this issue for a couple of weeks before Thies suggested this solution. I can't verify that it works since I use the RedHat prepackaged Secure Web Server and PHP as a .so extension, but the message thread sure died off fast when it was presented... ;) kevin -- Kevin Hendrix Programmer - PennyPI, LLC. khendrix@pennypi.com http://www.pennypi.com/ - People never lie so much as after a hunt, during a war, or before an election. - Otto von Bismarck > Michael Nino wrote: > > Dear PHP Community, > > Thank you for taking a moment to read our request for assistance. =) We > are struggling to build PHP with the Oracle extension as a dynamic shared > object (DSO/Apache module) under Linux Redhat 6.2.
