php4.1.2+Apache 1.3.24 DSO, won't start

Anon

Background:
I'm running Mandrake 8.0. I'm trying to get php working using the openlink odbc driver manager to talk to MS SQL 2k on Win2k. I installed it and got it working with perl (yay! - see http://www.iodbc.org for the directions I used for this).

Here are the commands that I used:
When trying to build it into apache:

(in php directory)
./configure --without-mysql
--with-apache=/home/quintin/apache_1.3.24
--with-iodbc=/usr/openlink/odbcsdk
make
make install
(seems to work)

(first attempt in apache directory)
./configure
--activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a
make
(fails... returns following)

[insert a zillion undefined references here]

(second attempt to build apache)
./configure --add-module=src/modules/php4/mod_php4.c
--enable-shared=php4
make
(fails... returns🙂

okay... that didn't work, so I try the DSO approach...

(in apache directory)

./configure --enable-shared=max
make
make install

(looks good)

(in php directory)

./configure --without-mysql
--with-openlink=/usr/openlink/odbcsdk
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs
make
make install

(looks good)

[root@localhost bin]# ./apachectl start
Syntax error on line 222 of
/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so:
undefined symbol: sapi_globals
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started

(not good)

[root@localhost conf]# grep php httpd.conf
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

looks okay, but it doesn't work. I'm out of ideas. I tried similar stuff with apache2.0.35. Here's the link to that post:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/read.php3?num=3&id=110233&thread=110228

My preference for getting php+openlink+apache working is stronger than my preference for apache or php version, or DSO vs. Static object.

If you made it here, then I appreciate your taking the time to read my post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Fixed it.

So here's what I did differently from the orginal attempt:
1) I moved the source directories for apache and php under /usr/local/src/,
2) I patched the php odbc library,
3) Deleted config.cache and config.status
4) Re-ran the configure script for php, adding "--enable-track-vars" to the arguments

Here's the details:

I had the source files for apache and php in my home directory. Apache configed, compiled, and installed fine by itself from here, but php would fail at some point (depending on whether I tried to build it as a static module or a dynamic module).

I was also missing the --enable-track-vars argument from the configure command for php (I didn't see it in the list of options when I ran "./configure --help", where would I have found this?).

I contact openlink tech support and they refered me to their apache-php-openlink tutorial (http://www.iodbc.org - good, but watch out for the stray ?'s in the commands). They also refered me to an odbc patch for php that isn't in the released version of php (4.1.2) yet (note: this patch is from iodbc, not php, so I wouldn't use it unless you're using iodbc's driver manager)

thanks to Ted at openlink technical support for the help.

I am having what appears to be a similar problem. I had all of this working [apache-1.3.24 / PHP 4.1.2 / MySQL / SSL] but for some reason apache is now not loading php when required and ssl has stopped functioning. I have checked all the configs and all appears to be right. When I browse to a page with php code on it, all I see is the text yet it is configured in the httpd.conf to recognize the and pass it to the php module for processing. This only thing that I have been doing that might have broken it is using rsync thru SSH and in the process, generating some dsa keys but I don't think this has anything to do with SSL. Anyway ... any insight you or anyone else has on where to look for a possible reason for PHP stopping functioning would be appreciated. By the way I am using RH 7.2.

Cheers
