[Mapserver-users] Linux RedHat 9.0 php/mapscript installation

[Alexander Shostko]

Dear List !
                                                                
               
The brief description of the problem:
                                                                
               
I am porting php/mapscript application
(php-4.3.2/apache-1.3.27)
from Windows to Linux
                                                                
               
Linux is Red-Hat 9.0, php is 4.3.2, apache is 1.3.28
installed in /etc/httpd and /var/www/ as typical.
                                                                
               
mapserver-3.6.6
                                                                
               
The installation flags and options are below.  All compiles
fine.  But does
not run at all. It did not even come to
mapscript. The php itself does not work with apache as cgi .
                                                                
               
When I try to run simple
                                                                
               
<?php
  // nothing works
  dl("php_mapscript.so");
  phpinfo();
?>

gives

which means that php simply not working whether I use dl(..) or
not.
                                                                
               
I tried also httpd-2.0.47 etc.  same results. ALso I tried from
tarball
(Linux 9.0 installation) of apache/php . Same results.
                                                                
               
The possible options are:
                                                                
               
--Install older / stabler RedHat (8.0 for ex, 9.0 is very new)
--Install apache 1.3.27 or older
--try php-4.3.0 or 4.2.x until I have at least apache-php as cgi
working,
then put mapscript there.
                                                                
               
Any ideas on which Linux/apache/php/options or simly what I am
missing ?
                                                                
               
Thanks a lot
