Getting Apache and PHP working simultaneously Problem

[Otuyemi Otufemi]

Hi.
I use Fedora-5 Linux as my Operating System. Recently I installed most resent versions of Apache web-server and PHP on my system. I installed and tested Apache, first, and it was successful. Next, I installed PHP, however, after the installation I noticed that Apache wouldn't start (i.e. httpd will not start, restart or reload). While troubleshooting, I observed that when I remove the line shown below from the httpd.conf file, Apache would work fine, with no problems.

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so

But this line of code is used by PHP. The libphp5.so is located in the path shown in above, and I copied the php.ini file to the recommended location. Could anyone please assist me, because I am confused and I don't know how to fix this problem.

Thanks.

I was able to get httpd running again by using this command

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start

However, when I checked the loaded module (/usr/sbin/httpd -M), I get the following error message:

httpd: Syntax error on line 205 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

I changed the permissions of the "libphp5.so" file to 777, but I still got the same responce.
Please help.

Were you ever able to figure out how to fix this? I just encountered this and am not sure how to resolve. I am porting php sites over to a 64 bit server from a 32bit server.

# service httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 8 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[FAILED]


# grep ^LoadModule /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf
LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so

# locate libphp
/usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp5.so


Thanks,
