Compiling PHP

[Anon]

Hey all,

I recently tried to upgrade my version of PHP to the latest, and while the compilation went smoothly (./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/ --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs), I then "make" and "make installed", but when I tried to run apachectl start, it gave me this:

Syntax error on line 207 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: shared object not open
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Any ideas?

Hi,

Check if libphp4.so is where apache is looking for it. That is, in /usr/local/apache/libexec/.

If there, check if it can be loaded and if there's no missing dependencies. Run:
ldd /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so

This should give you a list of libraries on which depends libphp4.so.

Hi,

Thanks for the help it worked out well. Libmysqlclient.so.10 it couldnt find, so I copied it from /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql to /lib and did an apachectl start.

That worked fine, no errors, and it said httpd was started.

But it wasnt 🙁

Any ideas?

try typing 'httpd -t' to see what errors, if any, apache is generating.

[root@Hirogen bin]# ./httpd -t

then try httpd all by itself and then fllo w that with a 'ps aux|grep httpd' to see if it's running, and then point a web browser at it if it is.

I've already tried that. It is not running.
