httpd not starting - can't find lib/apache/libphp5.so

schome1 · 2005-02-21 04:40:34

I looked in /var/log/httpd/error_log and found that it couldn't find libphp5.so. I have never had this problem before and I have had my web server running for some time. I followed the wiki for setting up php and have the line uncommented in httpd.conf where it loads the php5_module.

Has anyone seen this before? What is the fix?

Thanks

I don't know why, but the error also stated that it couldn't find libidn.so.11. So I went to pacman for the solution...

pacman -S libidn

Once installed, I could start httpd. The question is, why wasn't this file included with the php5 package? Also, why does it require this now where it hadn't required it previously?

UPDATE:
I too just got this error. It happened when I tried to restart apache.
I believe that the update to curl has something to do with it. php is build with curl support in arch, and curl uses libidn.
For some reason curl was recompiled, and it effected the php curl support.
Anyone else having this problem with apache-->php-->curl support-->libidn?

EDIT:

apparently so.
