    Installing PHP 5 under /home: how to?

    I have a user account on a RH Linux machine but no root access.

    I succesfully installed apache 1.3 under my /home/ account but can't
    get PHP to install properly.

    I have done the following steps:

    #1 compiled and installed apache using --prefix=/home/imbeauje/apache.
    Tested that it works.

    #2 compiled and installed php using

    ../configure --with-apache=/home/imbeauje/apache_1.3.31
    --prefix=/home/imbeauje/php

    #3 added to http.conf LoadModule php5_module libexec/libphp5.so


    At this point trying to run apache gives the following error:

    Cannot load /home/imbeauje/apache/libexec/libphp5.so into server:
    /home/imbeauje/apache/libexec/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object
    file: No such file or directory


    I commented out the LoadModule line and the error disappeared.

    #4 added AddType application/x-httpd-php .php to http.conf

    At this point I can start apache but trying to load up a .php file
    makes my browser through up a 'save file as' dialog ...

    What did I miss?

    Thanks!

      I assume (right?) make and make install went without shocking errors ?
      Does apache have proper rights (rx) to /home/imbeauje/apache/exec/ AND
      libphp5.so ?
      Is the .so file actually in that directory ? (I know, sounds silly, but how
      often people simply forgot to check..)
      Where does your apache serverroot point to ? Tried supplying the full path
      to libphp5.so too?

      If you did not load the php module I am not surprised you get a save-as.
      After all, what else could apache do with it ? Or am I the silly one now ?
      It's been a hot day, brain is cooked.

      Well sofar what I can come up with without digging deeper. Good luck!
      HTH

          There is no apache/exec dir but there is an apache/libexec, is that
          what you meant?

          I can't find a libphp5.so file anywhere, even in apache/libexec.

          ServerRoot "/home/imbeauje/apache"

          How?

          Looks like I am missing a step in the installation? No libphp5.so is
          definitely not a good thing ...

              Try: locate libphp
              Probably the required .so (shared object) file pops up, I would guess in one
              of the PHP directories.
              copy that file to the aforementioned libexec directory.

              I also found this on a similar problem someone had compiling/installing PHP4
              on linux : http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=9036
              A quote from that page : "Yes, of course using --with-apxs makes a
              difference. Without that
              option you will never get a libphp4.so, you simply get a php binary.
              Please read the installation instructions"

              Maybe here's your solution too ??
              good Luck jean!
