IF you're using apache2 and php4 THEN in your /etc/conf.d/apache2, add "-D PHP4" to your APACHE2_OPTS line. ELSE, I don't know.

In /etc/conf.d/apache, add this line:

Did you notice the einfo that appears at the end of the mod_php build? It's easy to miss it if you are not watching the screen as the commands roll past. It says something like

Execute
ebuild /var/db/pkg/dev-php/mod_php-4.3.1/mod_php-4.3.1.ebuild config

You can check this by reading the ebuild in the pkg_postinst section.

I followed AFAIK all the instructions i.e. added the "-D PHP4" and it doesn't seem to work because instead of trying to open the test.php file mozilla wants to save it to file

I know exactly what you are talking about. For some reason, the only way I could get my php4 working w/ my Apache 1.3.x was to manually add the LoadModule lines to my /etc/apache/conf/apache.conf.

'-D PHP4' will not work because PHP4 isn't defined in apache.conf or commonapache.conf...

I've tried to insert

What about adding these to your commonapache.conf? I added them just below the AddType application/x-tar .tgz line.

well... I upgraded to apache2, and now it works...

I'm having the exact same problem, I'd rather not be forced to upgrade to apache2

Is there anyone who has had this problem and solved it without upgrading to apache2?

Me too. Exactly the same problem.

Can anybody help ? I'm getting desperate....

Actually, I found out after tearing the last hair of my head, that the reason why it didn't work for me was because the APACHE_OPTS="-D PHP4" line was commented out :oops:

In my /etc/conf.d/apache

APACHE_OPTS="-D PHP4"

is NOT commented out.

If I try to fire up apache everything looks rosy....:
mybox root # /etc/init.d/apache start
* Starting apache... [ ok ]

But, ps aux reveals that apache is not running. Also stopping the demon tells the same story:
mybox root # /etc/init.d/apache stop
* Stopping apache...
start-stop-daemon: warning: failed to kill 25581: No such process [ ok ]

I am pretty close giving up.... :evil:

hm ... check what the error_log says (normaly /var/logs/apache) ...

Maybe this helps to understand what is the showstoper!

Tuppu · Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2003 6:14 pm Post subject:

Thanks for responce !

In '/var/log/apache' there are 3 files:
.keep
access_log
error_log

The first 2 are empty. The last entry in error_log is from 23rd June. As I am using metalog as logger I already gave command:

killall -USR1 metalog

in order to turn off buffering.

The last time I started apache was today (28th June).

Let's see:

User directive is set in my /etc/pache/conf/commonapache.conf as follows:

OK, it works now. It was probably something what I made..... :oops:

I unmerged apache mod_php and mod_ssl packages and installed them again. I also made sure that I started using the new (original) *.conf files....
