[Resolved] getting cURL going

[j_70]

I have installed cURL and recompiled PHP with cURL support. However, when I restart apache I get a "PHP4_module is already loaded, skipping" message. Apache restarts and I can access PHPINFO, but the curl module is not loaded, and the Configure Command listing does not show the most recent configure command that included, --with-curl=. Php recompiled with no error, any ideas?

You didnt remove the LoadModule php4_module line before you recompiled, PHP will automatically add the line and wont check if its already installed. Comment one of them out and restart.

I tried this already with no luck. I commented out the second php4_module line and restarted Apache. It restarted with no error but when I look at PHPinfo(), it still does not show the '--with-curl' option. Should I try to recompile again? Thanks.

The second one is probably the newer compile with curl (so just check to make sure). If not then just remove both LoadModules for php and do a recompile.

I tried changing which line is getting commented out with no luck. I decided to try recompiling and am now getting the following error. I have this exact error on two machines (RHES3.0 and SuSe Pro 9.1) which probably means I am consitently doing the same thing wrong. I shut down apache and am using the following for configure:

./configure --with-apxs=/opt/oracle/product/10gR3/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs --prefix=/opt/oracle/product/10gR3 --with-config-file-path=/opt/oracle/product/10gR3/Apache/Apache/conf --with-oci8=/opt/oracle/product/10gR3 --with-curl=/home/myhp/curl-7.14.0 --disable-rpath

I'm stumped?

Configuring SAPI modules
checking for AOLserver support... no
checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS...

Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons:

1. Perl is not installed;
2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);
3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
   The output of /opt/oracle/product/10gR3/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs follows
   /opt/oracle/product/10gR3/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libdms2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
   apxs:Error: Sorry, no DSO support for Apache available
   apxs:Error: under your platform. Make sure the Apache
   apxs:Error: module mod_so is compiled into your server
   apxs:Error: binary `/opt/oracle/product/10gR3/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd'.
   configure: error: Aborting

This problem was solved by copying libdms2.so into /usr/lib. This solved one problem, still having others. Will start a new thread.
