hey

i am trying to run php5 b1 on an apache 1.3.27 server

it works fine with php4.3.2 but i keep getting the error

the specfied module cannot be found

when i test my httpd.conf

my httpd line is

LoadModule php4_module c:/webroot/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddModule mod_php4.c
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

any suggestions on how to fix this?!

thanks

Try to change

AddModule mod_php4.c

to

AddModule mod_php5.c

If that doesn't work change also

LoadModule php4_module c:/webroot/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

to

LoadModule php5_module c:/webroot/php/sapi/php4apache.dll

I read somewhere that the second one has only to be done when using apache 2.x and that you don't need it with apache 1.3.x. I'm using apache 2 so I can't tell it for sure. I think I read it in the user comments in the online php manual.

here you go

Ok,

first make sure that you copied php4ts.dll to the system32 directory (or system on w9x/me).

Then move the LoadModule directive to the end of the global LoadModul block (around line 193) and the AddModule directive to the end of the global AddModule block (around line 240).

Then try to restart apache.

Hi,

sorry that I didn't reply for such a long time :)

Please post the most recent httpd.conf so I can see how it looks now.

What error message do you get exactly, just "the specfied module cannot be found" or anything else ?

I forgot something:

Copy the contents of dlls to the system (W9x/ME) or system32 (NT/2K/XP/2003) directory and try to restart apache after that.

If you enabled any php extensions in the php.ini (which has to be in windows/winnt) make sure that the extension_path parameter in php.ini is set to the correct path.

hey, no probs about the delay i just used php4 while i waited

i did what you said, moved all the dlls to system32, and there was a tip in antoher thread about an iconv.dll being moved into the sapi folder.

well after i did that, i ran apache and it worked fine but when i ran http://localhost/index.php nothing, but a white page showed up, although the title bar changed.

heres my httpd.conf

thanks for the help :)

Hi,

do you see php source code if you view the source code of the page ?

If you see the source try to change AddModule mod_php5.c to AddModule mod_php4.c.

Some people posted that they had to use mod_php4.c instead of mod_php5.c even with php 5 (don't know why).

oops, i changed my httpd.conf so that the line

AddModule mod_php5.c
was
AddModule mod_php4.c

and i got another error

saying that the module couldnt be loaded via the name mod_php4.c in list of modules

Hi,

maybe a database connection problem. You use the @ character in a way that would suppress any warnings.

Change

<?
@ $conn = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "****", "****")
or die("Could not connect");
@ $db = mysql_select_db("****") or die("could not select database");
?>

to

<?
$conn = @mysql_pconnect("localhost", "****", "****")
or die("Could not connect: ".mysql_error());
$db = @mysql_select_db("****") or die("could not select database: ".mysql_error());
?>

ok, i did that, i dont know why i had @ there, some newb mistake from about a year ago!

this was the outcome

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in c:\webroot\www\includes\auth\common.php on line 2

This is a weird problem. Du to licensing issues MySQL support has been removed from php 5.0.0 Beta 1. php 5.0.0 Beta 2 seems to include MySQL support, you can download it from

snaps.php.net

MySQL switched to GPL license which conflicted with the PHP license. MySQL and the PHP people are working on a solution.

Unbelievable ...

hey again!

i downloaded php5b2 and i still get the error message
i checked to see if i had installed it properly using phpinfo(); and it says my current version is

PHP Version 5.0.0b2-dev

so i guess i installed it properly, so why is it doing this still?!

tuf-web.co.uk

07-26-2003, 05:02 PM

hey, i was looking around phpinfo and found this

SERVER_SOFTWARE Apache/1.3.27 (Win32) PHP/5.0.0b1

which indicates that i have php5b1 which is not what i want :S

any further help?!

thanks

Ok,

I downloaded the latest snapshot 200307270230 and installed it. I copied php4ts.dll and all the contents of dlls to system (could test it on W98 only this time). I changed the httpd.conf to use the new php build and it worked. I still got the undefined function message but then saw that you have to enable MySQL support as extension. There is a extension=php_mysql.dll line in the new php.ini that comes with that build.

Replace the php.ini with the new one and enable the extension. Unfortunately it seems that the new build only supports MySQL on NT/2K/XP since it uses dll's that only exist on that Windows versions. If you're on Windows NT/2K/XP it should work ...

Should work on 9x/ME also, seems like I accidently replaced an odbc dll with a wrong version.

tsinka

07-27-2003, 05:15 AM

No,

I forgot to set the extension_dir configuration parameter in php.ini (make sure that it points to the correct php extensions directory).

tuf-web.co.uk

07-27-2003, 06:10 AM

hey,

i realised this also in my daily search! :)

but when i ran apache it said the it couldnt load the extension, and the path it gave with the error message is correct. it seems that what happened earlier with the load module is now happening with the extensions

tsinka

07-27-2003, 07:10 AM

I had the same problem first but was able to solve it this way:

1) copy all the files in dlls to system/system32 and overwrite the existing ones
2) the main reason for this error:

set extension_path in php.ini to the extensions path of php beta 2, e.g.

extension_dir=c:\wamp\php5b2\extensions

(I'd suggest to use the php.ini that comes with php 5 Beta 2, make sure that it exists in windows/winnt

3)
make sure that none of the dll's belonging to the other php versions are in any of the directories specified in PATH environment variable and/or windows/system/system32

Make sure that none of the dll's in the dlls directory exist in the sapi directory.

After that I had no problems to use the php 5 Beta 2 MySQL functions.
