This is not a solution or a concrete explanation, but...

I did read some where (a forum on php.net I think, it was july last year) that PHP didn't like working with Apache 2.2 as a shared module. I found this out when I tried to compile PHP5 for apache 2.2 on Fedora Core 4. The solution to this was to compile PHP-4.4.3 and use it with Apache 1.3. I found that both Mapserver and Apache worked well (efficiently - as this was for benchmarking purposes) when some tweaking was done.

As i said not a solution or full explanation, just another user experience and maybe something to help further investigation

When trying to install php either version 4.4.3 or 5.1.4 i get the following error after a make install:

chmod 755 /var/www/modules/libphp5.so
chmod: cannot access `/var/www/modules/libphp5.so': No such file or directory
apxs:Error: Command failed with rc=65536

I have seen lots of other people getting this error but never any solutions. so any help would be great.


Ok i was able to find the solution in a different thread. for some reason the php source file: php-4.4.3.tar.gz doest not seem to work with mapserver and postgreSQL at the same time. I found this also to be true with all of the PHP version 5+ sources. The only source that seems to work with all the libraries and tools needed for Mapserver is php-4.4.3.tar.bz2

if anyone has any reasoning as to why that is i would be really interested in knowing. Also i am running Fedor Core 5 and Apache 2.2 and i have the same problem on my Suse 10.1 system with Apache 2.2
