I would go with /var because that's usually where you want to put stuff
that changes often. There are all kinds of arguments for different
locations, however. You may want to google for "linux directory
structure" or something similar.
FYI, I keep my databases in /var/{type} where "{type}" is the type of
database server. For example, postgres in /var/pgsql; mysql in
/var/mysql; etc..

Re: [PHP] Re: Need some Linux/Apache help
Brian et al - What a way to start the new year!! I now have PHP 4.1.1 *with* Interbase running on Linux 7.2 *with* Samba. And I am greatly indebted to the generous help of many people on this List. This means I can move my family picture album (uses Interbase) off of the IIS system and onto Linux. Before I do that, I have some questions about directory use in Unix/Linux which really do not belong on this list. So, maybe my basic questions can be answered by direct email - whatever is best for the List. My question is about where I should put my databases? I notice that the "/var" is often used, but is "/usr". So, for a guy coming from the NT world, what would you suggest? 1) /var/databases/app1; /var/databases/app2 - or - /var/databases/interbases/app1 2) The same as above, but with "/usr" Also, Brian, I have several questions about "compiling" in the "C" world which, if you do not mind, I'll send directly. Probably not that much different from Object Pascal (Delphi 5/6). Again, Happy New Year to you all, *and* many thanks for the help..

That seems to be a known problem with some older PHP versions when you're building --with-apxs but not static. Remove the PHP source you have.. Then try grabbing either 4.1.1 from php.net (the tar.gz) or a new snapshot from snaps.php.net. tar -xzf [file] to unpack it, then try your same configure line, then make and see if you get the same problem. -- Brian Clark | Avoiding the general public since 1805!

But unless you've done this before and know exactly what configure arguments you need, you might want to use --with-apxs to build PHP as a loadable module so that you can easily re-configure PHP and build it all over again if you need to add support for something else (for example, if you decided a week from now you wanted MySQL support in PHP).

If you use --with-apxs when configuring PHP, you don't have to mess around with your current Apache install. For the exaception of making sure httpd.conf is correct after you install PHP, you don't need to do anything else to your existing apache install. Just download PHP tarball, unpack it somewhere. ./configure --with-apxs=/path/to/your/apxs [rest of your options here] make install Then check httpd.conf to make sure it has a LoadModule line for php and AddType lines for php. You should see them commented out in httpd.conf. You should only need to uncomment the LoadModule line for PHP4, not PHP3.

Re: [PHP] Re: Need some Linux/Apache help
Brian - That is correct: libphp4.so no longer exists (locate libphp4.so). I am not sure where the Apache source code exists with the default RH 7.2 intallation, or if it exists at all. When I do # rpm -qa | grep apache I am told that apache-1.3.20-16 is loaded, however there are 4 or so other applications dependent on it. If I were to do a "rpm -e apache-1.3.20-16" with the "ignore dependencies" directive, what will happen? Can I then get my Linux installation reconfigured so that "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start" will start Apache? I have the "apache-1.3.20-16.src.rpm" and I do know how to intall it and untar the resulting file, but from there on I am lost when it comes to setting up the "configure".

Hi Todd, Has Apache been restarted ton use the new libphp4.so? And if so, does it use the correct one (you might have another one on your system)? If Apache starts without probs, check the httpd.conf for php mime types. What does Apache respond if you load your test script?
