Error building Apache 1.3.27/PHP 4.3

kevinbinns

I'm trying to build the latest version of both Apache (1.3.27) and PHP (4.3).

I've built mod_php by typing

./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.27 --with-mysql -- enable-track-vars --enable-calendar
make
make install

Then I try to build apache with mod_php thus

cd ../apache_1.3.27
./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php
4/libmodphp4.a --enable-module=rewrite
make

When I do this I get the following :-

<=== src/modules/standard
===> src/modules/php4
gcc -c -I../../os/unix -I../../include -DLINUX=22 -DNO_DBM_REWRITEMAP -DUSE_HSREGEX -DUSE_EXPAT -I../../lib/expat-lite -DNO_DL_NEEDED ../../apaci mod_php4.c
mod_php4.c:22:29: php_apache_http.h: No such file or directory
make[4]: [mod_php4.o] Error 1
make[3]: [all] Error 1
make[2]: [subdirs] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory /home/kev/software/apache_1.3.27/src' make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory/home/kev/software/apache_1.3.27'
make: [build] Error 2

Has anyone got any ideas - I know it can't find the header file. It does exist in

../php-4.3.0/sapi/apache/php_apache_http.h

Any help would be gratefully received.

First, go into your apache directory and type:

./configure --prefix=/www

THEN './configure', 'make', 'make install' your PHP, then go back to apache and './configure', 'make', 'make install' (this time, DON'T use my apache ./configure above, use yours).

Hopefully that'll work :p

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately this has led to the same results. I had actually done the ./configure --prefix=/www when it had failed.

Nevertheless I tried again and unfortunately got the same error.

./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php
4/libmodphp4.a

😕
try

./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php 
4/libphp4.a

hmmm... I usually compile apache with:

"--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a" instead of "...../libmodphp4.a". Are you sure that's the right file?

kevinbinns

The reason that I used libmodphp4.a was that the PHP make install had failed to copy the libphp4.a file into the Apache src/modules directory. I thought that maybe the PHP developers had renamed the file in this latest version of PHP.

I found something on the web yesterday which said that you sometimes have to copy the libphp4.a file from the PHP build tree. I did a 'find' on the php source dir and then copied the libphp4.a file to the ./apache_1.3.27/src/modules directory.

Now the build process works !

I'm not sure why the php build failed to copy the library though ?

Thanks very much for your help.

Nothsa

hmmm... strange

Whenever I've compiled PHP with the "--with-apache" option, it's always copied the libphp4.a file.

At least you got it to work =)

Hi,

Try the same, but configuring apache use name libphp4.a instead of libmodphp4.a

More details in my answer to Teufboy at similar problem.
