Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.2.2 from HP depot on 11.11

[Charles Soto]

I downloaded depot "B9416AA 2.0.43.00.05 HP Apache-based Web Server" from software.hp.com. It includes Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.2.2. The instructions with it state to enable PHP, one simply removes the comment from the LoadModule...libphp4.so line. If I do this, httpd hangs on startup. I have to kill -9 it. Apache works fine without the PHP DSO loaded. Any ideas?

We *are* running another http server, currently (aolserver). Apache is currently using port 8888, to avoid clashing with that.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Charles

Turns out it is doing this for both libphp4.so and mod_perl.so. I've seen reports on php.net about Apache on HP-UX having trouble with DSOs. HP is supplying the SOs in question here, so how is it they're not working?

Got any ideas?

Thanks,
Charles

Apache+PHP works on HP-UX, because i'm using it,
Apache 2 also.
I didn't used a depot for it, but compile on my own (with gcc).
I made a change in PHP sources to make it work on HP-UX11.0 (I don't have a 11.11).
See this thread with all the details :

I posted the changes to phpnet dev team, may be the 4.2.2 is OK now ! I didn't try !
hth,

Benoit, thanks for your help! While I did not compile from source, your link on installing Apache2/PHP/etc. included the important clue. Under the instructions, you state it's imperative to have PHSS_22514 installed. This is the ld (linker) cumulative patch. While that version isn't valide for our 11.11/s800 installation, I did find PHSS_26560, installed it, and now I am 100% functional!

Thanks again for your help. My biggest delay has been ITRC not being 100% up. I could not search for patches, etc. It seems better now, but I hope this doesn't continue. Or, rather, I hope I don't need ITRC for a while :)

Many good wishes from Austin, Texas, where it's sunny and in the low 70's (F)...
