I was running Mandrake 6.0 with midgard-php3 1.4b3 and php4 (using
versioning and DSO) with no problems on a non-RPM Apache 1.3.12. I recently
upgraded one of my drives, and am now in the process of rebuilding this
system. In doing so, I decided I should also upgrade to Mandrake 7.1 to
take advantage of the new kernel, etc. What a huge mistake this has turned
out to be. My first attempt, I got Mandrake installed and Midgard working,
but in the process of finding a means to install PHP4 with versioning, I
ended up corrupting my libraries badly enough that Midgard no longer
worked. In actuality, I got 4.0.0 working, but 4.0.1pl2 simply would not
work at all. It segfaulted on startup with no explainations.. and when I
compiled as a cgi, I got no errors.
I decided to install Mandrake 7.1 a second time, and now, I get the oddest
errors when trying to compile (haven't even gotten to PHP4). I often get
compiler crashes with no apparent code errors. Additionally, any compile on
midgard.c warns numerous times with the following:
functions/midgard.c:<line>: warning: `sortv' might be used
uninitialized in this function
functions/midgard.c:<line>: warning: `typev' might be used
uninitialized in this function
It does usually finish the compile (if the compiler doesn't crash), but
will not load in Apache (usually one of the module functions does not
define correctly, or it simply segfaults with no explaination).
Midgard-lib compiles with no errors, mod_midgard compiles with no errors.
Have tried with and without sitegroups.
Things I have noticed which differ from my Mandrake 6.0:
- 7.1 uses Apache with SGI patch, my next task will be to recompile
Apache from scratch, however, with my current compiler crashes, this
probably won't work.
- Mandrake 7.1 does not install many development libraries on a
"Server" install, perhaps I should use a "Development" type?
Anyhow, I am very strongly considering throwing out my 7.1 CDROM.. and
going back to 6.0 or 6.2, on which I had no problems at all. Or maybe
RedHat or Suse.. this has wasted three days of my time (hey, its just a
hobby).
