Installing apache/PHP/Oracle/redhat

[ellegaard]

Hi everybody

I am installing PHP4 as a cgi script with oracle support. I run it on Redhat 7.0 and apache 1.3.14. I am quite new to linux, and I am severely stuck. I would be very gratefull for sme help.

I configure PHP with :

./configure
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
--enable-track-vars
--with-oci8=/usr/oracle # the ORACLE_HOME
--with-sigchild

I recieve no errors compiling, and apache runs fine before the phpinstall, but when i try to restart apache i recieve :

Syntax error on line 207 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf :
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server : libclntsh.so.8.0:cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

line 207 reads :
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so

(This line is added automatically under the install)

The libphp4.so file is in place.

The libclntsh.20.8.0 file is located in the /usr/oracle/lib dir , and I have added that dir to my /etc/ld.so.conf file.

I have no idea what is wrong

Thanks in advance

First:
You wrote that you are installing PHP as a CGI-script. That's not the case, judging from your configure-line. Anyways: Installing PHP as a CGI-script is sub-optimal. The Apache-module version is nicer to work with and has better performance.

Next:
Have a look at http://rpms.arvin.dk/php/install-ready/i686/ - especially the description of the oci8 sub-package:
