Hi there!
So right now I'm running PHP 5.2.0. I'd very much like to move up to
5.2.5 to take advantage of fixes and so forth, but I'm having some
trouble. When I try to 'make install' any version of PHP newer than
5.2.0, Apache will die quietly on startup, without logging any errors,
no matter how verbose I set logging. If I then re-'make install'
5.2.0,
it works great again. I can recompile 5.2.0 with different options,
different versions of libraries, or pretty much anything and it keeps
working.
Obviously, I can't provide much in the way of debug output from
apache,
but I'll try to give some basic info here. If anyone has ideas or
wants
to see longer stuff like configure output, just let me know.
The OS: Redhat EL4
The Apache: Apache/2.0.52 (from RHN RPMs)
The uname -a: Linux telltalegames 2.6.9-67.0.4.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Jan 18

Configure options:
./configure --with-gd --enable-magic-quotes --with-pear --with-regex
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/include --with-mysql=/usr/lib/mysql
--with-pgsql=/usr/lib/pgsql --disable-url-fopen-wrapper
--with-config-file-path=/ --with-gettext --with-imap=/usr/include/imap

ttf
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs
--with-mcrypt=/usr/local/lib/ --with-curl
No errors reported during ./configure or make. I've tried 'make
clean'
just to be sure, and as for 'make test', there's some bonus story to
tell (a possible clue)...
On versions > 5.2.0, adding the --with-config-file-path=/etc option
seems to break something. When that option is included, 'make test'
does this:
---------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] php-5.2.5]# make test
Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.
make: [test] Error 254 (ignored)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] php-5.2.5]#
---------------
If I then clean and recompile without that option, make test works
normally. Either way, though, the same thing happens when I install
the
results. That error being caused by such a (seemingly) benign option
seems pretty suspicious, though.
I may have found another symptom, if it's helpful at all. I (kind of)
can't install dynamic modules, even in 5.2.0.
If I add the extension=ssh2.so (or whatever) line to /etc/php.ini it
works in the CLI binary, but doesn't show up in phpinfo() through
apache. I ran "php -i" at the command line and confirmed that both
are using /etc/php.ini and the same extensions directory. No errors
are getting logged during Apache startup, the modules just aren't there.
