I would take what's behind door number 2: Apache was not compiled with DSO support
When you open up your Apache config file, do you have this line in there? AddModule mod_so.c If you don't, then you'll need to either recompile Apache for DSO's (recommended), or you can compile Apache and PHP "statically", which also involves re-making Apache: ----- SNIPPET ----- QUICK INSTALL (Static) $ gunzip -c apache_1.3.x.tar.gz | tar xf - $ cd apache_1.3.x $ ./configure $ cd .. $ gunzip -c php-4.0.x.tar.gz | tar xf - $ cd php-4.0.x $ ./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=../apache_1.3.x --enable-track-vars $ make $ make install $ cd ../apache_1.3.x $ ./configure --prefix=/www --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a (The above line is correct! Yes, we know libphp4.a does not exist at this stage. It isn't supposed to. It will be created.) $ make (you should now have an httpd binary which you can copy to your Apache bin dir if is is your first install then you need to "make install" as well) $ cd ../php-4.0.x $ cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini You can edit /usr/local/lib/php.ini file to set PHP options. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and add: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php ----- SNIPPET ----- - Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Grimshaw [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 7:34 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-INST] Problem installing 4.1.0 with Apache 1.3.22 I'm trying to install the latest PHP after I've upgraded Apache.

Perl is not installed; 2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so); 3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs The output of /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs follows Usage: apxs -g [-S <var>=<val>] -n <modname> apxs -q [-S <var>=<val>] <query> ... apxs -c [-S <var>=<val>] [-o <dsofile>] [-D <name>[=<value>]] [-I <incdir>] [-L <libdir>] [-l <libname>] [-Wc,<flags>] [-Wl,<flags>] <files> ... apxs -i [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... apxs -e [-S <var>=<val>] [-a] [-A] [-n <modname>] <dsofile> ... configure: error: Aborting I installed 4.1.0 on my old Apache install the other day, and that worked fine, so all I can assume is that there something different about Apache 1.3.22's apxs? I've read the suggestions in the FAQ about apxs, and the first problem was present, but adding the entries suggested made no difference. -- | Stuart Grimshaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Chief Operations Officer | Football Networks Ltd |- | t:07976 625221 | f:0870 7060260 -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PHP Install Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
