PHP4.0.4pl1 +MYSQL+PGSQL+Slackware7.1+

Anon

I have installed MYSQL, PGSQL on my FreeBSD 4.1 server and Slackware 7.1 server. I am trying to make PHP a DSO module in Apache. My configure looks like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr/.. --with-apxs --with-xml --with-pgsql=shared etc.

the problem is with Apache .. the error message is

Syntax error 243 of /usr/../apache/httpd.conf; cannot load /usr/../apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: libpq.so.2.1 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I've noticed this problem posted alot... did anyone solve is problem.

Help and Thanks

Make sure your libphp4.so exists in the directory where apache looks for it.

When you compile PHP the libary should be created,
but it's not neccecarily placed where apache expects it.
You many have to do that yourself.

You probably need to either move your libpq.so.2.1 file into a public library directory or tell your OS where to find the postgresql libs. I don't know how slackware or BSD do that, but in RedHat you edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add a line to that directory (/usr/local/pgsql/lib) and run ldconfig. The information on this is in the postgresql INSTALL documentation file.

When you configure php this is what I suggest you do...

./configure --with-apxs=specific path where apxs is located.

For example on my computer apxs is in /usr/local/apache_1.3.12/bin

So this is the directory I put ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache_1.3.12/bin

Hope that helps...
