can't start apache: undefined symbol: my

Anon

Hi there,

I just attempted to install PHP 4.1.1 (as an apache DSO) on my RedHat Linux 7.1 system. It was built from the tarball distribution using the --with-mysql=/usr option in order to link up with my existing MySQL installation. It built cleanly but when I try to start apache I get the following error:

Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 260 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/libphp
4.so: undefined symbol: mysql_field_count
[FAILED]

I'm not sure this is relevant, but I had to specify '/usr' as the path to the mysql libraries. Specifying '/usr/include/mysql', where they are actually located, resulted in a configure error.

Other information:
2.4 kernel
Apache 1.3.22
MySQL 3.23.22

Any idea what may be causing this error? Is there a fix?

Thanks, in advance, for your assistance.

Regards,

Craig Cummings

UPDATE:

I got around this particular problem by clearing out the old version of MySQL and installing the latest release (4.0.1) from RPMs. AFter this, rebuilding PHP 4.1.1 goes smmothly and mod_php gets successfully loaded when the apache server is started.

But, now I get a new problem. Every time a document is requested from the server (.html, .php, .pl) an error is returned to the browser and the httpd error log shows:

segmentation fault (11)

which of course kills one of the server's processes. Each time a document is requested, another process gets killed.

I can return functionality to my server by commenting out the PHP4 AddModule directives in httpd.conf and restarting the server, suggesting that the bug is in libphp4.

Any suggestions?
