Digg Apache 2.0 on Unix systemsThis section contains notes and hints specific to Apache 2.0 installs of PHP on Unix systems.
Warning:
We do not recommend using a threaded MPM in production with Apache2. Use the prefork MPM instead, or use Apache1. For information on why, read the related FAQ entry on using Apache2 with a threaded MPM You are highly encouraged to take a look at the » Apache Documentation to get a basic understanding of the Apache 2.0 Server.
PHP and Apache 2.0.x compatibility notes:
The following versions of PHP are known to work with the most recent version of Apache 2.0.x:
These versions of PHP are compatible to Apache 2.0.40 and later.
Apache 2.0 All mentioned versions of PHP will work still with Apache 1.3.x. Download the most recent version of » Apache 2.0 and a fitting PHP version from the above mentioned places. This quick guide covers only the basics to get started with Apache 2.0 and PHP. For more information read the » Apache Documentation. The version numbers have been omitted here, to ensure the instructions are not incorrect. You will need to replace the 'NN' here with the correct values from your files. Example 2.4. Installation Instructions (Apache 2 Shared Module Version)1. gzip -d httpd-2_0_NN.tar.gz
Following the steps above you will have a running Apache 2.0 with
support for PHP as
Note:
If you want to use content negotiation, read the Apache MultiViews FAQ.
Note:
To build a multithreaded version of Apache your system must support threads.
This also implies to build PHP with experimental
Zend Thread Safety (ZTS). Therefore not all extensions might be available.
The recommended setup is to build Apache with the standard

While I was installing PHP-5.2.2 in Fedora Core 5, I ran into a problem indicating php cannot find libxml2 during the configuration. Tried to find the what is this and realized after some serach in Google that libxml2-devel is required. Installed the libxml2 with yum as follows. Hope this will help someone. > yum install libxml2-devel payne747
When compiling php 5.1.2 on Debian 3.1 (Sarge) with Apache 2.2.0, I ran into problems with libxml2 and libxml2-config not found errors. After checking the base install, Debian leaves out the libxml2 headers, they can be downloaded using apt-get: apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev PHP should then compile fine. jmartinno
Well I was getting the following error when trying to run make (shared module for Apache 2.0.52) *** Warning: inter-library dependencies are not known to be supported. *** All declared inter-library dependencies are being dropped. (Then of course 'make install' would puke on itself not having what it needs.) Soo, after some time looking I found that using: libtoolize --force and following the instructions to add the contents of 1 file to the local file cat /some/dir/file1 >> localfile Would produce the desired results when you run: make clean make jon drukman
We have been running Apache 2 Prefork + PHP 4 (many different versions) for well over a year now, serving 10's of millions of pages per day on dozens of servers. It is completely stable and reliable.

Using Apache2 & PHP5 work perfectly fine & safe together. - all core modules are safe in Zend Engine 2 - third-party-libraries should be avoided - semaphores and shared memory enables you to ensure yourself that your application/website is thread-safe also with non-thread-safe PHP modules! neil
To install mysql and mysqli with PHP5 do the following: after doing: ./configure --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql_config --with-mysqli=/path/to/mysql_config do this: " if you want to use both the old mysql and the new mysqli interface, load the Makefile into your editor and search for the line beginning with EXTRA_LIBS; it includes -lmysqlclient twice; remove the second instance " then you can: make make install ..... Pleasse note: you must have mysql-dev installed (RPM or source) or you will not have the mysql_config file at all. The standard, server, and client installations of MySQL do not include it. I read somewhere that the mysql and mysqli paths must be identical. Quoted from Michael Kofler at the following link: http://www.kofler.cc/forum/forumthread.php?rootID=3571 jaya

Install issues on Redhat, specifically RHEL4 with php4 already installed: I discovered that there was an issue caused by redhat loading php4 in another file seperate from the httpd.conf file! This took me hours to discover. Make sure you know if the apache config file (httpd.conf) is loading configurations from a directory (or another file(s)) as well. If so, look in there for any php module loading which could conflict with the new module you are compiling/installing. nospam-1
If you're trying to get PHP and Multiviews to work properly, try this page: http://tranchant.plus.com/notes/multiviews (In brief, a request for the URL http://example.net/thing, where there are possible matches thing.php and thing.pdf, returns a 406 with many browsers because of the application/x-httpd-php MIME type set above. The link above gives a better method for using php, instead using these directives: AddHandler php5-script php [or php-script for php4] AddType text/html php For more info see the link.) packard_bell_nec
If you install PHP as an Apache module, you can consider the following. Instead of adding: application/x-httpd-php php application/x-httpd-php-source phps into Apache mime.types, you can add: AddType application/x-httpd-php .php AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps into Apache httpd.conf, OR you can add: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php AddHandler application/x-httpd-php-source .phps into Apache httpd.conf. The last one is the preferred way of configuration, but it does not work in previous Apache versions. me
If you can't find the "apxs" file on Debian 4 (etch) or a previous Debian version (which is still supported), you need to install the package "apache2-prefork-dev" (if you use Apache-Prefork).

if you are getting the following error : "Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/ modules/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: compress" , you have to add --with-zlib to php config felixcca
I've (painfully) discovered that installing PHP5 with "make install" under SuSe 9.2 is NOT a good idea. http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/apache2suse.php This page explains how to install it without breaking everything that's php-related in the Apache2 configuration. Its first purpose, though, is to show how to have php 4 and 5 to cohabit properly. fggarcia
I think that it's important says that the option --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs in the configure script it's necesary to build the libphp5.so (in PHP5). Then in the make install command, this .so module will be installed in the modules directory of Apache home I see on the Web a lot of persons with the trouble of missing the libphp5.so and this is the solution.

Hi too had same problem with multiview like when i execute http://huey/admin/test.php it used to compile but when i use http://huey/admin/test it wouldnt recognise it as php file... i worked it out with the addhandler method and AddType in different line and setting multiview for directive "multiviews Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews" the directives u can set it to root directory so now when u type pn test it will search in precendence for test.php, test.html if any ..... its working for me with apache2.0.47 and php 4.3.9 on solaris praveen pillepop2003
For unix (especially opensuse 10.0) you can find bison and flex here: ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/flex ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/bison Peace ;-) mihai dot sandu
For the SuSE9.2 install of PHP5. First: If building on a x64 platform, please set LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64" before configure. As for install, it suffices to go to /etc/apache2 and: ln -s sysconfig.d/loadmodule.conf httpd2-prefork.conf and then make install susie91
for slackware 10.2 users with apache2, mysql5, and trying to install php5: when following the directions above, after this step: ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql i kept getting this error: "Unable to find MySql header files...." the only way i could get php5 with mysql support was to compile MySql5 from source, and not use the binary as the mysql site recommends. then i was able to ./configure successfully, but for some reason php was configured to compile the CGI version. so, had to use this ./configure line: ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --disable-cgi alternatively, you could install php4 which does bundle the MySql client files. sukhruprai

Following on from Chris' comment (22-Sept-2006), my RHEL4 PHP4 rpm added a php.conf file at: /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf This was referenced in the httpd.conf by it's Include directive: Include conf.d/*.conf happyboy
FILE TRUNCATED!! during the make process should u receive an error declaring ext/ctype/ctype.lo (or another file) is truncated then you need to 'make clean' prior to a healthy 'make' and 'make install.' looking into your ext/ directory you may find the offensive file to be 1 byte long. dan scott dan dot scott
Building PHP 5.x with Apache2 on SuSE Professional 9.1/9.2 SuSE uses a rather fragmented set of Apache configuration files stored in /etc/apache2/. When you configure PHP 5.x with: $ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2 $ make everything builds just fine; but when you issue: $ su -c "make install" the unconventional Apache conf file layout confuses the install-sapi section of the Makefile and the process halts with the following error: apxs:Error: Config file /etc/apache2/httpd2-prefork.conf not found. make: *** [install-sapi] Error 1 At this point only the PHP SAPI library has been copied into place; the rest of the files (like PEAR scripts, PHP-CLI, etc) have not been installed. But never fear! You can overcome this problem with the following steps: 1. Edit Makefile and change the following line to remove "install-sapi": install_targets = install-sapi install-cli install-pear install-build install-headers install-programs 2. Issue the make install command again: $ su -c "make install" 3. Add the PHP module & type instructions to the Apache configuration. As root, create a new file, /etc/apache2/conf.d/php5.conf that contains the following lines: LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/libphp5.so AddType application/x-httpd-php php --- And that's it. Everything else is just as the documentation suggests it should be. paul dot mcgurn
apxs/apxs2 aren't installed by default on some distributions (mine is CentOS 5 server). To resolve this, install the package httpd-devel .
