I've been looking at this at many angles for already to long a time and can't find a quick way out of the trouble.
Had a working apache-2.0.50 + mysql-4.0.22 + php-4.39 system (phpbb running on top) All stock and all installed from source OS: openbsd 3.5 installed without much trouble.
I did try to upgrad to apache-2.0.52 and ever since, no matter what I
try to do php will cause the httpd to exit with exit(0x4) without any indication of the reason.
Tracking system calls (ktrace): - httpd starts with loading its dynamic libs, - next reads its config and loads phplib.so - after which it chases throught the directories in the dynamic linker's search path reading directories (don't know what it's looking for) and quits with a exit(4) If I'd only knew what it's looking for ... (when the loadmodule for php is commented out, it doesn't start to look for anything)
I've tried reverting back to the old compiled versions (doing just a make install), compiled even apache 1.3.33 all to no avail they all exhibit an identical issue and I've no clue where to look next.
apache works, provided I comment out the loadmodule for php mysql seems to work as well (CLI)
What I do see is php's make install messing with ldconfig and trying to point it to the compile directory, but regardless of where I aim it to it won't load.
Any pointers will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
