Heya folks. A few months ago my Apache children were crashing when they attempted a connect() to a MySQL database from mod_perl scripts, but only when PHP was compiled into Apache. There was no solution at the time, so we ditched PHP. Now we have a need for PHP once more, and I've moved to the latest versions of everything (except MySQL, see below), and mod_perl scripts that have been running happily for months are segfaulting once more. So here we go again. Apache 1.3.20 has PHP and mod_perl included statically: Compiled-in modules: http_core.c mod_so.c mod_perl.c mod_php4.c PHP 4.0.6 configured with: ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local --with-gd=/usr/local \ --enable-force-cgi-redirect \ --with-apache=../apache_1.3.20 --with-png-dir=/usr \ --with-zlib-dir=/usr --with-jpeg-dir=/usr ("--with-*-dir=/usr" seem unnecessary, but PHP won't configure properly without them) Hopefully PHP is using the MySQL client library and not its own support, as shown by: # ldd /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40017000) ====> libmysqlclient.so.10 => /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10 (0x4001b000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40036000) libgd.so.4 => /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.4 (0x40045000) libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40075000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x4009c000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x400bb000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/libresolv.so.2 (0x400e9000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x400f7000) libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40113000) libdb.so.3 => /lib/libdb.so.3 (0x40128000) libgdbm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 (0x40161000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40167000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) mod_perl-1.26 Both mysql 3.23.36 and 3.23.30gamma. Many people have suffered this in the past, but I haven't seen a solution yet. Are the PHP and mod_perl camps playing tennis with this one, or (please oh please) is there an easy solution?
