Shell Programming and Scripting

Great tins massive!

Im Manqoba from Midrand, South Africa...

I have installed Apache and PHP on a solaris 9 box, using the packages below:

apache-2.2.14-sol9-sparc-local
php-5.2.13-sol9-sparc-local

After installing the packages I edited my httpd.conf file, to load the php5 module when starting up Apache, by including this line:

LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

When running apachectl start, I am presented with the following error:
root@test-lm-1 # apachectl start
httpd: Syntax error on line 114 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: symbol xmlTextReaderGetAttribute: referenced symbol not found

I have checked to see all the dependency packages are iinstalled, as well as the compatibility of the versions. I uninstalled and reinstalled the libxml package, but still no luck.

It is the fist time I use apache with php, and some assistance will be highly appreciated.

Maybe you can first try manually loading the module and see if that will work?

If you downloaded these packages from sunfreeware.com then please return to that site and read the list of dependencies. There is a list of 19 other packages that are required by this php package. Install them and try again.

I have installed all the dependency packages, before I installed the php. On sunfreeware website the dependency packages are listes as:

Code:

Dependencies: 
libiconv,
libidn,
openssl-1.0.0,
curl,
expat,
fontconfig,
freetype,
freetds,
libssh2,
gd,
libintl,
jpeg,
openldap,
mysql,
libpng,
sasl,
libxml2,
zlib,
xpm,
gcc

Even after trying to load the module manually, it still fails with the same error. Is there perhaps a specific order that the packages need to be installed in?? Each time I comment out the line to load the php module, Apache starts up ok.

Is there any packages that I might be missing, since the ones i installed are according to the sunfreeware website

There is no specific order to install the packages. Maybe the runtime path is not correctly compiled into the shared object.

Does

Code:

crle -u -l /usr/local/lib

help? This command append /usr/local/lib to the path, that the dynamic linker checks to find objects (assuming libxml.so is in /usr/local/lib).

I gave it a try, and it did not seem to sort anything out. I also listed the dynamic dependencies for the libphp5.so library... and it seemed to find all the dependencies...

Is there a way to use list only the missing dynamic dependencies?? Also, is anybody aware of any dependencies for the libxml2 package, because there is none listed on the sunfreeware site.

bless...

Hmm, if all dependencies are fullfilled, the only other thing I can think of is a wrong version of libxml2.so

Does

Code:

/usr/ccs/bin/nm /usr/local/lib/libxml2.so | grep xmlTextReaderGetAttribute

print something like

Code:

[2885]  |    799440|     388|FUNC |GLOB |0    |12     |xmlTextReaderGetAttribute

Ahh, and: did you restart Apache after executing crle ?? I think, the dynamic loader only reads ld.config once at program start.
