Help! Apache dies with php-4.04p1

Anon

I am trying to upgrade from php-4.02 and have this problem. Below are the specs on my system. It works
find with 4.02, but when I use the exact same procedure to build-4.04p1 the following happens.
./configure, make and make install on php complete without errors. httpsd starts and immediately dies
with no error messages and nothing has been found in any logs.
When I say it starts and dies I mean:

./httpsd start

gives an OK but

ps -aux|grep ht

shows no httpd processes running no matter how fast I type but

./httpsd start;ps -aux|grep ht

shows 10 httpd processes, but will have dies before they can be tested again.

The only variable would seem to be the difference between 4.02 and 4.04p1. After a careful look at the
requirements and dependency I can't fine the cause. Unfotunately php.net doesn't seem to make earlier
versions so I can't same how matters stand on 4.03 (Does anybody have this?). The biggest problem:No ERROR MESSAGES! I hate that.

The system is running Red Hat 6.2 with updates
linux kernel 2.2.17-14smp
Apache is RH secure server 3.1.2
glibc 2.1.3-22

The php configure command line use for both 4.02 and 4.04p1 is:

./configure --with-apxs --with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos/ --with-imap --with-mysql --with-ldap

Look in /var/log/messages

/var/log/httpd/error_log

for error messages. Hopefully this can point you in the right direction.

Look in your httpd.conf file for the ErrorLog directive. This will tell you where the errors are being kept.

On occasion, the ServerName directive can give you headaches too. If you don't have a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the server, then set the ServerName directive to the IP address of the machine.

This is strange because you say it was running fine with PHP4.0.2.

Here is something I just thought to check.
Since you did a make install for PHP 4.0.4pl1, I wonder if it tried to modify the httpd.conf file again. Go through your httpd.conf and make sure that there is only one LoadModule, AddModule for php4. That could make it puke too if it were trying to load the module twice. Just a thought.

Same problem here.... I build ldap.so as a shareable php module.

Using php-4.0.4pl1, apache-1.3.19 and my own source rpm contraption. This is my first time using ldap. The mysql.so, imap.so and pgsql.so modules work fine. Just with the ldap.so module the httpd daemon dies without log entry or message.

Running httpd through gdb tells me it exited normally. Go figure...

TTYL,

My http daemon dies when ldap is configured... Without ldap everything works fine (pgsql, mysql and imap support).

Same problem occurs with php-4.0.5. However, I figured out that I have to run httpd with the -X arg when using gdb. So here is what I get when running gdb:
