PHP5 linux apache - install problem

[freebie]

Hi,
Today, I compiled php5 (on a linux box with apache2 and previously php4.3.7). after installing it (make install), I restarted apache (apachectl graceful). After doing this, none of my php pages work anymore (giving a "page cannot be displayed" error).
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions

Hi,

did you check the logs (error_log and messages)? Additionally, check if the apache server is running at all.
If it isn't running then something might be wrong with the configuration and/or apache daemon itself. if the daemon is up and running then try to restart it (not graceful).

I think my issue was either 1 of 2 things.
1.) after installing the new php 5 module (linux/apache/apxs), the apache httpd.conf config file showed both modules (rather than having 1 of them commented out).

2.) I was running an old version of the zend-optimizer.

I upgraded my zend-optimizer and commented out the "LoadModule" line for php4 in httpd.conf, and everything worked after that. I should have done 1 step at a time to figure out which was causing the problem, but was in a rush.
