phplib4.so errors after installing PHP on Apache

[chrisw]

After installing PHP, Apache consistently reports:

Syntax error on line 232 of /usr/local/apache2-0-43/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server:
/usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: ap_block_alarms

I have tried this a dozen different ways and will soon lose my mind. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Chris

Environment
RedHat Linux 7.3 i386
Apache Version 2.0.43
PHP Version 4.2.3

Install Summary
1. I unpacked Apache tar ball to /usr/local/apache2-0-43
2. ./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache2-0-43 \
--enable-shared=max \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-module=ssl \
--enable-rule=SHARED_CORE \
--with-apxs \
--with-zlib
3. make
4. make install
5. Edited httpd.conf to include:
ServerName govt-linux:80
6. /usr/local/apache2-0-43/bin/apachectl start (runs without error - yeah!)

So far so good!

7. I unpacked php tar ball to /usr/local/php4-2-3

8. ./configure \
   --prefix=/usr/local/php4-2-3 \
   --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2-0-43/bin/apxs

9. make

10. make install

11. Edited httpd.conf to include
    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
    LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
    I confirmed that libphp4.so really is at usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so

12. cp php.lib-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

13. /usr/local/apache2-0-43/bin/apachectl start

    Here I consistently receive the error message:

    Syntax error on line 232 of /usr/local/apache2-0-43/conf/httpd.conf:
    Cannot load /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so into server:
    /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: ap_block_alarms

I encountered the same kind of problems, thus with a slightly different configuration. Have you solved your problem ?

In fact I don't have the solution, but if you have it, i would be really pleased.

My problem is described on page

Did apache build a modules directory? I ask because that is where my libphp4.so was located.

Try adding "--with-apache2 \" to your PHP build.

I'm just throwing out a guess here. It took me a week of research and frustration to get Apache2.0.43 and PHP4.3.0RC2 to work together.

Good luck
