Hi,Redhat 9 comes with the Apache httpd server and PHP, so it is only if you need a different version of either one that you need to do any downloading. Perhaps you did not install it? You do not tell us which versions or what instructions you are using. From your path /usr/local/apache2 it is an Apache httpd V2 (quite a lot of people using PHP will use 1.3.x).
I followed the instructions to install apache and php on my linux (RedHat9).
I added the module php in the httpd.conf:
LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so
although the file libphp4.so does not exist in /usr/local/libexec/ nor the folder /usr/local/apache/libexec/ .
Now I am having a error by starting:
Syntax error on line 231 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/libexec/libphp4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
What am I actually doing wrong and where can I find the module libphp4.so ???
libphp4.so will be put wherever you asked php (when you compiled it) to put it. It will only be generated if your php compile options contain --with-apxs2, which tells the compiler you want to generate an Apache httpd module.
As root do an "updatedb", then "locate libphp4.so". That will tell you where it is if it was compiled. Different linux distributions will use different directories for programs, configuration files etc. Its easiest therefore to get a RPM file to install for your distribution. If you compile from source then you will either need to know all the options needed, or be prepared to change things accordingly.
Let us know how you get on. HTH Chris
