PHP, Mysql and Apache

Anon

I need a little help here. I am running Redhat 6.2:

I compiled MySql and everything went ok. I compiled apache with ./configure --enable-module=all --enable-shared=max...everything went ok. I then compiled php with ./configure --with-mysql=/path --with-apxs=/path....everything compiled fine. Everything said and done, I edited the httpd.conf file to activate the php mod. Then went to start apache, and I get this message: can't load module libphp4.so into server: libmysqlclient.so...no such file or directory. CAN ANYONE HELP.....STARTING TO GET FRUSTRATED!!!

I have a problem like this:

On RH6.2 im compiling and installing MySQL - ok. Im './configure' Apache - ok. Im './configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12rusPL29.5 --with-mod_charset' PHP - ok. Then configuring Apache './configure --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libmodphp4.a' - ok. And finally then 'make'ing Apache - it says that smth wrong with PHP files.
Can anybody help me?

Versions:
MySQL - 3.22.32
Apache - 1.3.12rusPL29.5
PHP - 4.0.1pl2

Common problem. Try:

locate libmysqlclient.so

and see where that file is. If nothing comes up, su - to root and run /etc/cron.daily/slocate to force the locate db to update.

Whereever that file is, you need to edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add a line that describes the path to libmysqlclient.so. Let's say the result of the locate command looked like this:

/usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so

Then you would enter a new line in /etc/ld.so.conf that was

/usr/local/lib/mysql

Then save the file and run ldconfig

Now apache should load with php et. al.

If you are starting to get frustrated, why not drop the compilation?

The Apache which is bundled with Red Hat 6.2 is fine. There are MySQL RPM packages at www.mysql.com. And there is PHP 4 RPM packages at http://fsr.ku.dk/people/troels/rpms/php/

or if all else fails do not include the path directive in your ./configure script--there is innate support for mysql in php4 that will generate the api you seek. just do ./configure --with-mysql et al. This is if you're running mysql on the same box. There seems to a lack of supporting directions for db connectivity over tcp/ip.

I know its an obvious question, but did you run make install after compilation?

If this was an ldconfig problem, you'd notice it during compilation (which would stop on an error).

This is most likely just a case of the path to the .so being wrong - which is odd because PHP4 usually sets that up for you when you run make install.

Thanks everyone, but I figured it out.

Anon

So do you want to share your solution with us?

I just ran a locate libmysqlcient.so...and changed the path in the conf file....that was all.

Anon

I'm running into the same problem with my PHP4 installation, but when I run the find on libmysqlclient.so, I can't find it.

Closest is libmysqlclient.a

How do I get this file that I need?
