[Mapserver-users] Installation with PHP on Unix

[Vincent Schut]

Agneta,

Though I'm a linux - not unix - user, your problem sounds familiar.
Some checks that could shine light in this mapserver-darkness and prevent you 
from doing only mapserver compilations till your 65th birthday... :
If you check your php info page (you should have something like phpinfo.php 
somewhere) what does that tell you about the used regex?
Did you compile php with --with-regex=system? The old option 
'--with-system-regex' is depricated since version 4.3.1, no matter what 
mapserver tells you...
Have you checked the configure and make output of php (I know it's a lot...) 
to check whether it really compiled a cgi, not a apache module?

Mind also that when compiling mapserver, the last version of php you compiled 
counts. If you use 2 seperate versions of php, e.g. a apache module (apxs) 
and a cgi, you should compile the cgi *after* the apache module, otherwise 
mapserver will give you this same complaint. It only detects your last php 
compilation. Another solution in this case is to put the 2 versions in 2 
different directories (--prefix=.....).

Hope these help you further,
Vincent Schut.
