dynamic modules are not supported

yesurbius

When I try to access my webpage, I get the following error:

Warning: Cannot dynamically load <module> - dynamic modules are not supported in <web file>

(Of course, replace module and webfile with the appropriate values.)

I've spent 72 hours on this already and I"m at my end <grin> If I set Enabledl to Off, then I get a variant of the above message, saying dynamic modules are not enabled... but that's logical... the only thing I can think of is that there is a configuration option in PHP to enable dynamic loading of modules... but hell if I can find it <grin>

Here is a checklist of everything I've tried.

I'm Running PHP 4.0.5
I've Compiled PHP with --with-apxs
I'm Running Apache 1.3.19
Test page with phpinfo() works fine.
When I turn Engine Off in php.ini, php ceases to work, so I know PHP is finding the php.ini file.
extension directory, listed in php.ini exists, and has permissions set correctly
specified the dl("<modulename>"); in PHP file
module exists in extensions directory
problem exists with more than one module (pgsql, gd, ldap, etc)

Is this a Win32 system? I've found it necessary to copy libsasl.dll into the c:\winnt\system32 or c:\windows\system directory (depending upon whether you're on NT/2K or 95/98/ME) before some extensions will load.

This didn't used to be the case with 4.0.3, so I don't know what changed!

SOLVED!

When I was compiling PHP I had a lot of problems with compiler errors.. upon looking at the code, I found conditional #defines that were not defined properly, such as HAVE_LIBGD15 .. it wasn't set, although it compiled the gd library in another branch of the source tree.

What I ended up doing was modifying the config_vars.mk file in the main PHP source directory, and after the CPPFLAGS statement I added the necessary defines..

For the problem I mentioned above, I had to define HAVE_LIBDL, by adding -DHAVE_LIBDL after the aforementioned CPPFLAGS option in the config_vars.mk file.

For some reason, configure wasn't configuring everything properly .. I've never used autoconf myself so I guess I'll just have to stick with my workaround.

Note: I edited config_vars.mk AFTER running configure.
