[mapserver-users] Re: Problem with apache+php as one binary

[Andries J. Algera]

Daniel,

Thanks for the help. Over the last couple of days I've been reading
through the apache-docs and found out that under Solaris you need to
configure apache with --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE in order to be able to
load any shared object (see dso.html in the apache docs). After doing
this, I was able to load the mapserver module without any problem. I
shouldn't forget that I still need the add the -shared option the
mapscript LDFLAGS. Do you think it is possible for the configure script to
detect this automatically.

I noted that the apache+php+mapserver response has become much better
after compiling an almost all-in-one web server. The only module I still
have is the php/mapscript module. Do you think that in the future it might
be possible to compile this module into php?
