Apache 2.1-1 , PHP 2.1 and SSL 1.4 error on OPENVMS Alpha

sahir K — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 06:36:38 GMT

Hi,
I am stuck with an error.
When I am trying to qualify PHP 2.1 and SSL 1.4 to my product in OpenVMS ALPHA, I got below error.
"Syntax error on line 36 of /apache$specific/000000/conf/httpd.conf:
Can't locate API module structure `smh_config_module' in file /smh$common/modules/mod_smh_config.exe: function not implemente
d. "
But the same code works well with itanium versions of PHP and SSL .
I have added one line in the HTTPD.conf file, thats is "LoadModule php5_module modules/mod_php_apache-2_0.exe
".
Can someone help me.

Hello Sahir,

check your apache version by doing this:
#/opt/hpws/apache/bin/apachectl -v

second thing
check entry 36 line of /apache$specific/000000/conf/httpd.conf file using this:

#cat -n /apache$specific/000000/conf/httpd.conf

third
#ll /smh$common/modules/mod_smh_config.exe

check permission for execute

and if possible, post output of /apache$specific/000000/conf/httpd.conf file

deeos appears to have provided an answer for HP-UX or some other Unix box, and not the commands and syntax for VMS.

As for the likely trigger, there's a reference to an SMH update in the following thread that's needed for the SSL updates:

Given other issues with the VMS version of SMH, I generally don't have that package installed on VMS.

Sahir,
You need to follow the installation instructions carefully... and read carefully... SMH does NOT support PHP v2.1.

YOu have to use PHP v1.3.

PHP 2.1, brings along the "php5_module" which SMH doesn't support. This will be fixed in a future version of SMH.

When SMH starts up , it creates a customized version of httpd.conf that is specific only to the SMH software... Inside the customized version of SMH's httpd.conf file which is located in:

device:-[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.HP.HPSMH.yourhostname.conf]httpd.conf

you will find that PHP5 has been replaced with "PHP4" by the SMH startup procedure.

What you can do to work around this problem other than remove PHP v2.1 and install PHP v1.3, is to:

1) Edit the SMH specific version of httpd.conf, shown in the directory above.

2) Locate the directive that loads the "PHP4" module...

LoadModule php4_module modules/mod_php_apache-2_0.exe

and manually change it to "PHP5"...

LoadModule php5_module modules/mod_php_apache-2_0.exe

3) Save the file, and change the httpd.conf file so that it's version number is ;32767. By doing this, SMH cannot write out a new version because it's at the version limit, and the changes in the httpd.conf file will used in place of creating a new file.

Give that a try and let us know how it works out for you.

Hi,
Problem resolved. Issue is resolved by using the proper shareable image, while re-linking to the exe. I was wrongly using a SSL1.3 library image to make my exe. I corrected it by using the proper Library.
Thanks everyone to support.
