Hi, I've managed to install oracle and to compile and install php (--with-oci8). Unfortunately when I start the server it gives me a httpd dead but subsys locked. Searching the archives I found one link to PHP.net manual (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.oci8.php) where it tells me that I should compile apache with pthreads support. Well, I downloaded apache-1.3.14.src.rpm from redhat (6.2 updates) and compiled it but no luck (the same result). My ldd /usr/sbin/httpd shows : libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x4001b000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4002e000) libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x4004b000) libdb.so.3 => /lib/libdb.so.3 (0x40078000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x400b2000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x400b7000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) I do not know if is this is related but the /var/log/httpd/errorlog shows me PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - define in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - defined in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - each in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - strlen in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - strcmp in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - strcasecmp in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - error_reporting in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - leak in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Function registration failed - duplicate name - function_exists in Unknown on line 0 PHP Warning: Basic Functions: Unable to register functions, unable to load in Unknown on line 0 Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
