Are these packets from Red Hat Network or the Red Hat Installation media?

Can you run

rpm -V php php-pear php-mysql

Hi,
Did u try with PHP version 5 (PHP5), becaz it might be php4 will not support sometimes.Ensure all the dependencies RPM for PHP5 are installed.
If u configure yum in RHEL, it will be better for you to install the RPMs or u have to connect to RHN for packaging updation.

Hi Karthick,
I hope this link will be helpful for ur troubleshooting.

http://www.mjmwired.net/linux/2005/10/23/php4-rpms-for-fedora-core-4/

As per above your inputs, the php has been installed successfully but its not supporting the apache modules.
Did u tried with some other versions of httpd and PHP..
And also have a try with Cent OS 4 or CentOS 5 which will be helpful for analysis.

Hi all,
i have tried uninstalling httpd 2.2 and had installed an older version of httpd2.0 andit has this dependency libapr0-2.0.54-10.11.i586.rpm.
Now when i instal lib** and apache i get this new error when i start httpd
Starting httpd: /usr/sbin/httpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libaprutil-0.so.0: undefined symbol: gdbm_errno
[FAILED]
Any ideas.

Shalom,

The httpd server integration on RH 5 is with PHP 5.

The thing to do is remove those packages and the PHP 5 packages which have probably been damaged. Then use yum -y install php*

all,
thanks for ur replies.But the final conclusion is that httpd2.2**** wont support php installation.My colleague had notified me about this.and also some one else has raised this bug.
Thanks.
