Hi, in our case the error message > Syntax error on line 239 of /home/mmulsy/apache/etc/httpd.conf: > Cannot load /home/mmulsy/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: > ld.so.1: /home/mmulsy/apache/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file > /home/mmulsy/apache/libexec/libphp4.so: symbol sk_new_null: > referenced symbol not found > ../apachectl start: httpd could not be started occured because the php was linked with the wrong version of openssl. Your cause might be different, but probably is again related to compiling in a different environment than running. For me, the following line to apachectl solved the problem. # ----- # the php binary on neptun:/home/mmulsy/apache is linked against an # on old openssl version, so LD_LIBRARY_PATH must be adjusted ---tom LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/versions/openssl-0.9.6b/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH " export LD_LIBRARY_PATH # ----- regards, Tom. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
