I just can't get mod_php to work with apache

[MooktaKiNG]

Ok i installed apache php mod_php mod_ssl mod_mp3 with the following USE setting:

[dputzter82]

*I'm using lynx to write this, plase forgive me if the formatting is off*

I am having basically the same problem. I've been using gentoo for about a month now, and I decided that since I was getting pretty comfortable with it and with what I was going to use it for, that I would reinstall from scratch etc...
Everything has gone flawlessly except for the web server. I tried to follow the desktop configuration guide, but no go. What happens here is that after I run
emerge apache php mod_php mod_ssl
ebuild .....mod_php....ebuild config
ebuild .....mod_ssl....ebuild config
The ssl.so is in the right place under apache/extramodules
but the php.sso is not in the right place. I edited the php ebuild and figured out where it put the file, and moved it, and after that when I try to start apache, I get the exact same error as above.

I also have read everything I can find in the old posts, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere.

I also had this problem, you should check to see if you are using the apache2 in your make.conf if so change it to apache, I then removed all evidence of apache then merged them once more and voila it worked...

hope its as easy for yourself

Actually now that o check. You are right. I did have apache2 in my USE.

I changed it now to apache. and emerge again with --usepkg, but didn't work. I'm gonna try to compile again (not use --usepkg). But now i'm a bit tired. need sleep, and this dammit chicken pox is killing me

apache2 is not stables yet isn't it ?
so even if you have apache2 in your USE
you have to change your make.conf to accept unstable version.

i choosed to iunstall stable branch cauz i'm a NOOB (with a big N)
this allows me to find many howto & tutorials about installing,configuration,......

[Durenunde]

there are getting to be some great sites out there but still alot of stuff that I personally like to see documented a bit better as I had some real problems with ODBC stuff and what not but here is a list of some of the sites I've been using since I started

http://www.tldp.org - The Linux Documentation Project

http://samba.org - Quite a good site for documentation

http://www.unixodbc.org - its alright if you are using a GUI but better documentation is sorta needed for those that don't , I actually found how to do it here on the gentoo forums.

http://www.pureftpd.org/documentation.shtml - quite straight forward once its down and in there, I decided to go for this one because it was much easier than vsftpd just seemed to work with less effort needed

http://apache.org - Apache's documentation is fantastic in my opinion it always has got my problem solved pretty fast if I had one.

http://php.net - another great site which led me by the hand when needed and taught me a great deal with its tutorials

http://phpmyadmin - a great tool for using mysql databases with apache and php and documented pretty well.

sorry a little off topic but there ya have it now

I do have another question, which has been baffled me since the first time i installed a webserver (~6 months). How owuld you turn mp3 streaming on for apache?

I have installed mod_mp3 but, that doesn't work.

I usually publish my website using Flash MX, and have an mp3 player that streams mp3. But doesn't work on my server, however when i put it somewhere else lit does stream.

I can't firgure it out.

for video and media I use the <embed></embed> tags on the page that way it comes up on screen with a little box for playing. other than that I have no idea how to load support for it actually into apache, sounds interesting I may look into it personally as I run 2 web servers.

K I got it working rilliantly

if you want to check it out *edited out for now as I decided it best not to tempt fate *

heres what I did

1. emerge mod_mp3
2. ebuild /var/db/pkg/net-www/mod_mp3-x.xx-r2/blah blah
3. edit your /etc/conf.d/apache. my one now looks like this "APACHE_OPTS="-D SSL -D PHP4 -D MP3"
4. I made a virtual host and followed this...

[MooktaKiNG]

I think what you want to do is actually embed your tracks onto your page not use apache as a streaming audio player then... I think anyway. Although you could embed a player onto a page that runs through your own songs from inside your server that would work I think, I'm not further help I'm afraid on the subject

but when you have an mp3 song at 128kps it gets to be 3megs

so streaming is best.

apache 2 is most certainly stable. if you go to the apache.org web site, you will see that apache 2 is the build the organization recommends you use. i use 1.3.27 personally, but its not accurate to say apache 2 isnt stable

[spectre]

I have PHP4 working with apache2. I had to do 2 things.

Uncomment the line in /etc/conf.d/apache2 and add "-D PHP"
Also, there is a soft link in /etc/php4 called "lib" that points to a non-existent location. Change it to /usr/lib/apache2-extramodules

It worked fine for me after that.

How does mod_mp3 compare to icecast?
