PHP ./configure cannot find httpd.h even though I can...

[adamdaughterson]

I am trying to configure/install php on a Slackware system (2.4.20 kernel). I've installed the httpd ver. 2.0.47 without a hitch.
When I run ./configure --with-apache=/usr/include/apache/ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
this is the output:

...
checking for standard DES crypt... yes
checking for extended DES crypt... no
checking for MD5 crypt... yes
checking for Blowfish crypt... no
checking for Apache module support via DSO through APXS... no
checking whether to enable versioning... no
checking for Apache module support... no
configure: error: Invalid Apache directory - unable to find httpd.h under /usr/include/apache
root@USBOU1-LLOAN101:/usr/local/src/php-3.0.18#

So when I quadruple-check to make sure I am not crazy :o
I look for the file:

root@USBOU1-LLOAN101:/usr/local/src/php-3.0.18# ls /usr/include/apache/
ap.h ap_mm.h http_config.h os.h
ap_alloc.h ap_mmn.h http_core.h rfc1413.h
ap_compat.h ap_sha1.h http_log.h scoreboard.h
ap_config.h buff.h http_main.h util_date.h
ap_config_auto.h compat.h http_protocol.h util_md5.h
ap_ctx.h conf.h http_request.h util_script.h
ap_ctype.h explain.h http_vhost.h util_uri.h
ap_ebcdic.h fnmatch.h httpd.h xml/
ap_hook.h hsregex.h multithread.h
ap_md5.h http_conf_globals.h os-inline.c
root@USBOU1-LLOAN101:/usr/local/src/php-3.0.18#

...and there it is! I have tried downgrading the httpd version, tried up, and downgrading PHP to no avail. Has anyone else run into this? Am I just destined to be stuck with IIS/ASP forever?

--with-apache is only for apache 1.x. Try --with-apxs2 instead.

[adamdaughterson]

So this seems to have worked to compile the source, but after the ./configure script ran the output stated that I had compiled the package for CGI. Does this mean that the PHP module wont work? Quite perplexing...

Can you post the exact output?

[adamdaughterson]

After further review, I found one more step in the right direction. The Apache2 website had some good info, but now I have found a new barricade. Here is what happens. I run ./configure --with-apsx2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apsx --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

Thank you for using PHP.

but when I try to make the package this is the output:
root@USBOU1-DROSHAMB:/usr/local/src/Apache PHP/php-4.3.2# make
make: *** No rule to make target `PHP/php-4.3.2/sapi/apache2handler/sapi_apache2.c', needed by `sapi/apache2handler/sapi_apache2.lo'. Stop.

Wierd stuff. I am thinking that I have tinkered this box to death, and may very well reinstall the OS from scratch to see if this problem has been caused by having too many changes made to it.
Any Ideas?

[Dolda2000]

Considering the output from the file generating stage, there appears to be something wrong with the tarball that you got. Try downloading a somewhat older version and see if it works.

[adamdaughterson]

I really wish that I had more time to work this all by itself. After much digging in the Apache.org, it became clear that the problem was in my ./configure. The exact command needed to be ./configure --with-apsx2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apsx. for the PHP4 installation. To resolve the last issue, I needed to ./configure Apache with --enable-so, then recompile. It works OK now, except for something with phpinfo() which I think I shall create a new post for, as, this one is more related to my ignorance in compiling sources!
Thanks for all your help Dolda,
Adam
