- Subject: PHP Apache module with PostgreSQL support
Hello list!
I downloaded the mod_php4 package and modified Apache's httpd.conf file but
was not able to start Apache properly:
API module structure 'php4_module' in file
/usr/local/apache/libexec/libphp4.dll is garbled - perhaps this is not an
Apache module DSO?
After this I decided to build PHP from source but a problem appeared during
the installation described below. I followed the steps pointed out in
php-4.2.0-1.README that are:
tar xjvf apache-php-X-Y-src.tar.bz2 [1]
patch -p0 < php-X-Y/CYGWIN-PATCHES/php-X-Y.patch [2]
cd php-X-Y [3]
autoconf [4]
./configure --with-apxs [5]
make [6]
cd sapi/apache/.libs [7]
../../../CYGIN-PATCHES/mkdll.sh libsapi.la \
-L ../../../.libs -lphp4 \
/usr/bin/cyghttpd.dll [8]
mv cygsapi.dll libphp4.dll [9]
/usr/sbin/apxs -i -a -n php4 libphp4.dll [10]
The process of creating the cygsapi.dll [8] stopps after a list of
"undefined reference to..." messages with following error:
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
It would be great if someone could give me a hint in order to bring the PHP
module up and running.
In fact I want to implement PostgreSQL support for PHP. I also tried to
configure PHP with the required options:
./configure --with-apxs --without-mysql --with-pgsql
This process terminates with:
...
checking for PostgreSQL support... yes
configure: error: Cannot find libpq.so. Please specify correct PostgreSQL
installation path
Of course there are no *.so files available under Cygwin. Is there a patch
to fix that, or under which topic I should search for in the mailing list?
All packages are installed with Cygwin's setup.exe. Additionally the sources
of Apache and PostgreSQL are hosted in:
/usr/src/apache_1.3.24-5
/usr/src/postgresql-7.2.1-2
Are there any further steps necessary for the combination
Apache/PHP/PostgreSQL under Cygwin?
Thank you in advance!
