Apache error: _efree undefined…

Mar 09.2007

I’m trying to install Apache, MySQL, PHP, etc. onto a Fedora Linux system to act as a server for my LAN, but I’ve come across a problem. I’ve already compiled and built all three from source, and changed Apache’s httpd.conf file accordingly, but when trying to start Apache I get the following error:

[CODE]
httpd: Syntax error on line 55 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: undefined symbol: _efree
[/CODE]

Ironically, and quite frustratingly, when I tried googling the problem for 10 minutes, I found three different forum threads about the topic, and the answer each time was “try googling it”. Which I was already doing. :rolleyes:

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.

@MrCoderMar 09.2007 — Maybe it is a version conflict of some sort?

Check for existing libphp5.so files and check to make sure libphp5.so was installed correctly from the build?

@agent_x91authorMar 09.2007 — I just got the latest versions of all three today; I would have thought all the latest versions would be compatible with each other ?

I'm using:

Apache 2.2.4

PHP 5.2.1

MySQL 5.0.33

What version do you use? I could try reinstalling with that version, at least then I know they are all compatible with each other.

@agent_x91authorMar 09.2007 — Thanks for the link, but as I said, I'm installing onto Fedora Linux; so a Win32 .exe file is useless to me.

@agent_x91authorMar 10.2007 — Well, my problem's not really with PHP as such, it's more with linux. I've already had PHP etc. installed on my main computer (running windows xp) before, but my server is in Fedora which I'm not particularly familiar with. I already installed everything perfectly before, but then the hardware failed and I had to start again. I don't know what I'm doing differently this time but I can't seem to get rid of that error ?
