Error during the make install of php-4.3.2

arg_rommel

Hello.
I'm trying to install php-4.3.2 from source in linux RedHat 9 to work with Oracle using the guide in http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache2.php
I've previously installed Apache-2.0.47 in /usr/local/apache2 (Apache is working fine).
I did a:

$./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-oci8

$make

$makeinstall

The error that I get is this:

Build complete.
(It is safe to ignore warnings about tempnam and tmpnam).

Can somebody help me please?

well, when you installed php, it should have placed the module somewhere in the apache directory. Search for the module:

find /usr/local/apache2 -name libphp4.so

if you can't find it, search the PHP directory as well:

find /usr/local/php (assuming that's the path) -name libphp4.so

once you find it, place it in the directory that apache is searching...

mv /path/to/libphp4.so /usr/local/apache2/modules/

Now give it a try and cross your fingers.

PS - you can also specify the module path by adding this line to the configuration command
--activate-module=/usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so

Thank you for your answer but the truth is that php does not create the file anywhere in my disk.
I could solve the problem using the latest development version.
Now I get the file created and the make install ends fine, but when I try to start apache it gives me an error .
I'm trying to figure out why right now ....
I'll post the error here later. Maybe you can help me with that.

Thanks again!

what's the error? If you post the error from the apache logs (/usr/local/apache2/logs/error-log), maybe we'll be able to figure it out.
