php4 woes

any *nix and php guys out there know why i'm getting this error?

[shannon:~] paularms% apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 368 of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
Cannot add module via name 'mod_php4.c': not in list of loaded modules
Click to expand...

when i check out the httpd.conf file all it says on line 368 is "Addmodule mod_php4.c"
 
i think i found the problem on the FAQs section of this page

it says

"Will this run on Mac OS X Server?"
Yes, seems it will run on OS X Server 10.2 if you disable the "apple_auth_module" in the Apache server config file. Big thanks to Arnold Schwaighofer for this tip.

note: this is on an os x server machine

my question now is...where is the apache server config file?
 
Open httpd.conf in pico and hit ctrl+w to search for a term.
Enter apple_auth_module and hit return, and you will be taken directly to the line containing the module.
Comment out the line by adding the # at the start.
Save the changes.
Restart Apache.

i don't understand what this problem is now...i added the # symbol like you said rower, but now it gives me this...and i don't see why mod_php4.c is not in the list
 
ok i found a problem...the install did not place libphp4.so in the right directory and that was causing it to not understand the php mod. i think i need to restart now though because every time i try to load a page it says that no data could be loaded. i restarted apache and the webserver, but still no dice...i think i may need a full restart on this one.
 
sorry for the triple-post, but

the problem is that the web server will not stay turned on. when i start it up through the server settings, it shows that it is running for about 15 seconds and then shuts down...what's the deal?
 
nope...by all means, apache is up and running, no errors. the web server says it is up for just a little bit until it realized that it is not running...i'm so confused...moreso no than before
 
he he....found it

here seems to be the recurring error that it's been giving me for the last two days

[Fri Apr 25 22:58:32 2003] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down

after that, it just keeps repeating...

Never seen that before. Did you update the version of Apache that came with X Server, or are you still running 1.3?
 
I haven't updated my servers with it, since I'm waiting for Apple to release the package themselves.

In your case, there's a chance it'll fix something. There's also a chance that it will mess things up even worse.

It's your call. I'm pretty sure you can get the update at the same place you grabbed the PHP install (odd that you did that, BTW, since X Server already comes with PHP4). If not, you can grab it at Apache's website.
 
it doesn't come with php4...it was running php3.something...also...it would not work...when you install an update, it actually installs it in a different place, so the old php is still there...but it won't let me enable it.
 
ok i don't understand how to compile any of this stuff...

here is the error when trying to reach http://127.0.0.1

RTSP/1.0 400 Bad Request
Server: QTSS/4.1.3 (Build/412.45; Platform/MacOSX)
Cseq:

i think you are right on this...i guess maybe it's time to do ANOTHER complete re-install... 😡 🙁
 
Ouch. That gets old fast...

You might want to use CarbonCopyCloner after you've got a clean, updated install on there.
 
ha ha...good idea...

and thanks for all the help rower!..even though nothing really was able to get fixed...i learned where i made some errors and i won't make them again
 
ok, i'm still having a problem...

only this time it's probably more simple...everything is on, php is enabled (in the server settings)...

but when i try to load a php page from the server, it just downloads the index.php file...it won't display anything...just starts downloading...what is going on? how do i fix it?
