php_regcomp: install problems with php4 on linux

Anon

Hello All,

I'm trying to install PHP4 on RH Linux 6.1 using Apache 1.3.12. Configuration directives are listed below. Did a make; make install. Added module directives to http.conf "LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so", "AddModule mod_php4.c". When I do a "apachectl configtest" it reports:

Syntax error on line 239 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: php_regcomp

Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks!

./configure \

I believe that php4 has some problems doing ./config* on some versions of linux above 6.0 and not on others. What it sounds like your problem is that you need to make sure your http.conf fille reads "LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so" and that that module is in your /usr/lib/apache dir or where ever mandrake stores apache mods. Also make sure that your httpd.conf uses AddModule mod_php4.c... Then check your mime types in srm.conf unless srm is included (as of i believe rh6.2) within the httpd.conf file. If it is the included then edit appropriately-- "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php. As mandrake is RedHat, unless they've done something hoaky to the file system, these should work. If not it won't be that hard to figure out . Always rem "PATHS & PERMS" are the first to check!
