Apache won't compile with PHP4 -support

Anon

Hi!

I hope this is not a standard problem. I've searched the forum but didn't find any message which fits my problem. :-(

My setup: Red Hat 7.0 with Reiser-support and kernel 2.2.17-8.R

My intention: To build a LAMP-environment with the current releases. PHP should be linked statically into Apache.

My steps:

I compiled MySQL 3.23.33. No problem.

Then I pre-configured Apache 1.3.17 with

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

Next was PHP 4.0.4PL1 which compiled fine too with these configure options:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --sysconfdir=/etc --with-mysql --with-gd --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-apache=../apache_1.3.17

Then configured Apache with

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd --localstatedir=/var --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libmodphp4.a

without problem. During the following make an error occurred:

mod_php4.c: zend.h No such file or directory
mod_php4.c: <several .h-files of php> No such file or directory

These .h-files are located in /usr/local/php/include/php/

I hardcoded the path in mod_php4.c but that can't be the right way.

I followed the instructions of the PHP-Manual because the steps in the Apache-README are out of date and don't fit an PHP4.

What did I do wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Christian

Hi,

although 'libphp4.a' does not exist when you configure apache, it will be generated -- so, your apache config should be this :

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd --localstatedir=/var --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a

instead of

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --sysconfdir=/etc/httpd --localstatedir=/var --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libmodphp4.a

I think that's how it goes!

Hope it helps.

Yeah, thanks. That was plain stupid. You're right.

Why do these kind of mistakes always happen to me? :-)

The funny/sad thing is: I've read the manual. I've read about that module you should activate when it's not yet built. I should have known. But I didn't see.

Maybe I've been staring too long at the screen yesterday. So RTFM three times doesn't have any effect anymore.

Thanks again. Next time I take a break before posting.

Best regards,

Christian
