Redhat secure server - May 1999 - secureweb-2.0-2libc6 + PHP3

Can anyone clue me in on what it takes to build PHP3.0.[78] as a DSO to be
used with secureweb-2.0-2libc6?  I''d like to build it with mysql and
imap
support for a web based mail solution.  PHP3.0.[78] assume apxs supports
arguments not supported in the apxs included with
secureweb-devel-2.0-2libc6.  Removing those args from the PHP Makefile
resulted in a libphp3.so that loads, but most php3 calls result in httpsd
segfaulting.  I''m running secureweb-2.0-2libc6 on Red Hat 5.2.

What does a gdb backtrace of the segfault reveal?

gdb /usr/sbin/httpsd core

then type "backtrace"

I couldn''t seem to get a core file.  I started httpsd with:

ulimit -c 5000000
/usr/sbin/httpsd

And though I got these messages, no core was created.

I might be able to setup another copy of secureweb and attach gdb to
it...but I was hoping I wasn''t the first to run into such problems.

Is there an easy way to get mysql support into php3 that comes with the
secure web server.  I have tried adding --with-mysql to the spec file and
rebuilding the rpm but to no avail.  There must be an easier way.



Thanks

I have had to do this several times the ''best'' way I have
found is this:

Install and update secure server 2.0
download the MySQL source (http://www.mysql.com/) rpm, rpm -bb and install
it, the old binary MySQL rpm''s totally crap out in glibc 2.1 (at least
for
me).
download the PHP 3.0.7 (works for me, haven''t tried 3.0.8 yet) source
rpm,
add "--with-mysql=/usr" to the spec file and rpm -bb and install it.
Note
you will need freetype-devel, and a few other odds and ends for it to
behave.
Install PHP, edit httpd.conf:
LoadModule php3_module        modules/libphp3.so
AddModule mod_php3.c
you will also need to create the symlinks in /etc/httpd (if they do not
exist):
libexec -> ../../usr/libexec/
logs -> ../../var/log/httpd
modules -> ../../usr/lib/apache
And you should be up and running.

P.S. Shame on RedHat for not making a PHP binary with MySQL support
available. Double shame on them for not documenting what I just did after an
hour (or three) of fighting with their product.

No, that would be the way.  What is the problem you are experiencing?

Actually this did the trick.  I had forgotten to restart the httpsd daemon
Ooops :(

Maybe, a procedure like this could be documented in the next versions
manual.

I recently upgraded my server to RH6.0 and then received RH''s Secure
Server 2.0 in the mail. Unfortunately, all the packages in SS2.0 are
older than their equivalents in RH6.0 e.g. php, mod_perl etc. The SS2.0
includes an installation script and I don''t think there''s a
"-force" key
for that. I haven''t bothered looking at the cd but I could probably
force the individual rpm packages. Even if there was a force switch for
the script, I would be hesitant to use it until I did my homework
because I am just not that familiar with the linux environment and
dependencies in shared libraries.

I did send Preston Brown a note inquiring about upgrade status of SS:

Preston,

Can you give us an update. I need to place an order this week
for at least one copy of SWS.

Thanks,

I''m not allowed to give out release date details unfortunately.  You
won''t
see it on store shelves for at least a little while.

SWS 2.0 does work OK with RH 6, and I''m sure there will be a cheap
upgrade
path.

Correction:  I''m not sure if an upgrade path exists, but I would assume
it
might depending on demand.  If you are interested in upgrading, you will
probably have to discuss the matter with sales.  Perhaps they may reveal
some plans, if any exist, here in the near future.

I would assume most admins like myself plan to upgrade to RedHat 6.x in the
future, meaning we muct upgrade SWS. Hence demand should be sufficient to
offer an upgrade product I would imagine. If it''s less then $100 US
(that is
the cost of the full existing SWS 2.0, so I would hope an upgrade costs less
=) I''d like to put in a pre-order (i.e. mail me when you got it,
I''ll buy
one for sure).

P.S. why is redhat so awful for getting out security alerts via email,
product info/updates/etc, you guys really need to work on that.
