RE: [PHP4BETA] PHP/Oracle Silent Apache Crash

Hi, I apologize for my ignorance-- I'm not much of a sysadmin type. Could elaborate a little further on how you would "relink" Apache using pthread. This is what I understand your saying: Establish the environment variable LDFLAGS="-lpthread" for Apache then I go throught configure, make and make install for Apache. Next, using the same enviroment, go through configure, make and make install for PHP as outlined in INSTALL for Quick Installation for DSO? I think what your saying is that Apache needs to be pthread because PHP is clntsh and linked to Oracle client libs as pthread. Correct? Again thank you for you're help. I'm glad this was an easy question.

(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.
