PHP4 as Apache mod, Apache won't start!

Anon

I ran through the php4.0.1 install by the directions, and after doing "make install" and trying to start apache, i get this:

Syntax error on line 113 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot add module via name 'mod_php4.c': not in list of loaded modules
/usr/sbin/apachectl restart: httpd could not be started

line 113 is "AddModule mod_php4.c"
and this line and the other php entries in http.conf look just like the INSTALL file says they're supposed to. what's going on?

thanx for your help,
brian

Do you have the module listed, libphp4.so? You need both. Post the areas of your httpd.conf file that pertain to php, or send the whole thing to me and I'll take a peek.

What operating system (including version)?

Anon

I'm using Linux Mandrake release 7.0 (Air), Kernel 2.2.14-15mdk on an i686. Here's the lines in httpd.conf:

AddModule mod_php4.c

#LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so

For example, the PHP3 module (not part of the Apache distribution)

will typically use:

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .phtml .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps

The following is for PHP/FI (PHP2):

#AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.cgi Default.htm default.htm index.php3

#Include conf/addon-modules/mod_php3.conf

those are all the lines that seem to relate to php. thanx for your help!

thanx to brett for this fix!

You need to load the module before you call AddModule

add this:
LoadModule php4_module /usr/lib/apache/libphp4.so
before this
AddModule mod_php4.c

If your running php4, these two lines

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .phtml .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php3-source .phps

need to look like this

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .phtml .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Make sure you have index.php3 and index.php on the DirectoryIndex line,
if you want to have php file loaded by default.

Let me know if this helps.

it does! thanx dude!

think about your previous paths dude. what was the last change and what hasn'nt changed. look at /etc/httpd/conf..........................
