I have been using a binary distribution of Apache 1.3.20 with PHP 4.1.1 on Windows NT
for a little while now, but cannot get PHP to work as a load module. If I configure
Apache to use PHP as a CGI executable it works fine, but I would like to use some of
the features that only come with the module.
In my http.conf I have:
LoadModule php4-module d:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
and I have copied php4ts.dll to winnt\system32
On starting apache I get the following message:
warn: Loaded DSO php4-module d:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll uses plain Apache 1.3 API,
this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI)
I'm not sure how important this warning is, but as I'm using a binary distribution I
am not able to recompile. In addition, when I try to load any PHP programs in my
browser I get the message:
Warning: Failed opening '/apache/htdocs/myprog.php' for inclusion (include_path =
'.;d:\php\includes) in Unknown on line 0.
Nothing else appears in the browser!
Please can anyone suggest how I can get the PHP module to work.

problem: long running perl processes appear to be killed when initiated
from php with exec command, even if perl process immediately forks to create
(hopefully) a disconnected daemon.
question: is there any install parameter for PHP or Apache or other work
around that would still kill off completed php script, but allow perl
process to live?

Hi. Many things. I am trying to create a web hosting control panel, so I'll
need to be able to update Zone files, add email accounts, etc. All of which
require the user to be "root" How can php do this? How do I get the scripts
to be able to have root permissions?

Hi Robert,
First, giving ownership to files is not the same as making them run as that
user. Ownership of a file is directly related to what permissions are needed
to do things with the file, like reading from, writing to, and executing it.
If you need to run PHP as root, you can use a utility called Sudo. However,
since this is technically allowing anyone using the web server to do things
as root, you MUST be unbelievable cautious with security. If you are not,
then eventually you will get someone who will try to wreck or get into your
system.
Sudo is not JUST for root, however. It allows you to specify what user you
want to be, and you can limit functionality to certain files or programs. I
highly recommend you take at least a few days to thoroughly read Sudo's
manual first, then search around the Net for Sudo-related material and ask
for tips from people that are using it.
Another trick is to set up a separate instance/installation of Apache
running on a different port. Since you can specify what user Apache will run
as, you can make that 2nd Apache be root or some other privileged user. But
again, you MUST be cautious not to let anyone input any custom scripting
that could get executed, otherwise you're letting a stranger send commands
as root to the server. I recommend this second method if you're sure you can
be secure with your programming.

A machine I was installing on had both libxml and libxml2. In the configure script
test, it has:
if test -r $PHP_DOM/include/libxml/tree.h; then
DOMXML_DIR=$PHP_DOM
elif test -r $PHP_DOM/include/libxml2/libxml/tree.h; then
DOMXML_DIR=$PHP_DOM
DOMXML_DIR_ADD="/libxml2"
Since it found libxml first, it said I needed a later version. I changed it to look
for libxml2 first, since that should be newer, and it works fine:
if test -r $PHP_DOM/include/libxml2/libxml/tree.h; then
DOMXML_DIR=$PHP_DOM
DOMXML_DIR_ADD="/libxml2"
elif test -r $PHP_DOM/include/libxml/tree.h; then
DOMXML_DIR=$PHP_DOM

There is a known issue for include path. (GCI version)
You may need to specify
include_path="c:\php/includes" or
include_path="c:/php\indluees"
I forgot which is working.
BTW, searching bug db would help for these kind of problems ;)

Mr. -Rasmus
we try adding --with-kerberos to us configure line, and we build ucd-snmp
without kerberos support
but not run, follow the same error
# ./apachectl start
Syntax error on line 205 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: ld.so.1:

found
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started
do you have other idea?

Try adding -lkstat to the LIBS line in your Apache src/Configure file.
Find the right platform in that file and add it there.

Hi all,
I am trying to compile php 4.1.1 and apache 1.3.19 under Redhat 7.1
and i am getting the follwing error...
error while loading shared libraries /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.1 :
invalid ELF header.
I have downloaded openssl 0.9.6c so all that is up to date.
Any ideas what the problem is?
