Apache + PHP = Apache won't run ='(

I reinstalled Arch recently to change from 64bit to 32bit, for convoluted reasons. I'm now attempting to install LAMP again, following the wiki guide.

If I uncomment 'LoadModule .... libphp5.so' in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, then apache won't start. Commented out, everything works fine.

I have the latest PHP package installed.

No log files are produced in /var/log/httpd/, and changing the log level in httpd.conf doesn't seem to help.

Any suggestions? This is very urgent for me, since I have a website to finish by Monday So help is much appreciated!

- Dave

Hi KomodoDave,
post the output of this command:

apachectl -t

Hero, this (very helpfully) gives me:

httpd: Syntax error on line 114 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

'pacman -S curl' solved the problem Thanks *loads* luca, you've really saved my bacon!

Strange,  php depends on curl anyway. Ort didn`t you update your system using "pacman -Syu"?

I did

$ su
$ pacman -S apache php mysql

I did a 'pacman -Sy' yesterday.

There is really something strange. Doesn`t your pacman output somthing similar (especially the curl dependency)?

There's absolutely no doubt I didn't have curl installed prior to installing PHP, and it definitely wasn't installed afterwards; at no point have I explicitly removed curl...

Re: Apache + PHP = Apache won't run ='(

I experienced the exact same thing: Installed apache and php but didn't have curl installed afterwards. It still appears as a php dependency though...
