Apache Won't Start with PHP 4.

[Anon]

Hi All,

I have a slightly different problem than the norm with Apache unable to start with PHP 4 compiled as a module.

If I kill Apache and try to start it back up it will not start (there are also no error messages indicated in error_log).

However, if I comment out 'Load Module' and AddModule (for mod_php4). Start apache and then perform a kill -HUP on apache it works fine (PHP4 talking to oracle behaves normally).

This is a frustration as any time the machine reboots I basically have to go through this process manually unless I write a workaround script.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

(System Redhat 6.2 Running Oracle 8i with PHP 4.1.1 and Apache 1.3.14.)

PHP is complied with OCI8/Oracle/MySql and APXS support.

Regards,
Chris

Did you compile PHP4 as a static module, a dynamic module, or both? Don't need both.

Hi,

I compiled the module as dynamic; not static, following the standard compilation section in INSTALL for PHP. I will try recompiling to confirm I followed this correctly but I'm pretty sure it should be fine.
