Re: [Linux-users] Apache PHP frustration SOLVED
Hi All, I tried all your suggestions, unfortunately without success until now. The main alterations I made were. setup localhost in /etc/hosts.allow In httpd.conf alter 'DocumentRoot' to point to the correct directory also 'Directory' In httpd.conf alter Options to 'Options All' Setup 'Index.html and then it worked !

Apache loads all its configured modules on startup. One of the modules loads php, but it fails with not finding the php library (libXXX.xo.XXX is always a shared library for dynamic linking). Most likely you haven't installed the php package(s) necessary for apache (don't ask me why). Other possibilities are that your distro's package dependencies are broken, or your distro itself is broken, or has a lousy system configuration utility.

True. My advice would be to uninstall all apache and php packages, ensure their config files are deleted from /etc/, and then re-install the packages.

Barry, might be worth removing apache, mysql, php, update the repos then install as a task if you did not do so the first time.

Re: [Linux-users] Apache PHP frustration
Morning, Generally I'd agree with you but in the case of apache/php there are some major differences around how Debian/Ubuntu and Rehat/Centos based distros package them and if it's rh7/centos7 it's different again from rh6/centos6 so it is relevant. Yes you could generically fix this, but if you mess about with the individual libraries and paths the solution will not cleanly patch/update via the distro's package management system... Which I suspect is the path Barry has gone down through frustration given that he was talking about library files in /etc which means something is not very 'standard'. I don't know of a distro that puts them in /etc, they should be in /lib or /usr/lib (or /opt/local/lib if it's Solaris ) I wasn't trying to start a distro-war. :-) Cheers, Chris H.
