Mapscript PHP Error - failed to map segment from shared object

[Aaron Racicot]

I am no expert at the shared library stuff, but my guess is that you did
not tell the web server where to locate PHP includes.  Below is what I
did to set up PHP on my Fedora Core 3 box, maybe it will help.  I think
you might need to focus on the "extension_dir" variable in the php.ini
file.  It looks like your web server is looking in /usr/lib/php4/

Here is a snip of my installation history:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First get the new version:
mkdir php
cd php
wget http://us2.php.net/get/php-4.3.10.tar.gz/from/this/mirror
tar -xzvf php-4.3.10.tar.gz
cd php-4.3.10

./configure --enable-force-cgi-redirect
--with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd/ --with-gd=/usr/local
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-png-dir=/usr/lib --wit
h-tiff-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib --with-freetype-dir
--without-ttf --with-mysql --with-regex=system --enable-dbase
--enable-dbx --enable-ve
rsioning --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql

make
make install

strip sapi/cgi/php
cp sapi/cgi/php /var/www/cgi-bin/
cp php.ini-dist /etc/httpd/php.ini
 
Made the following mod to /etc/httpd/php.ini:
; Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
;extension_dir = "./"
extension_dir = "/etc/httpd/php_mods"

mkdir /etc/httpd/php_mods
------>>>>>>>>> This is where the Mapscript .so will go...

Added the following to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

#
# For PHP scripts as CGI-BIN
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php-cgi .php .php4 .php3 .phtml
Action  application/x-httpd-php-cgi /cgi-bin/php


Now re-start the server:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapscript PHP Error - failed to map
segment from shared object

Hi folks, hopefully someone can help me here.

I'm trying to get the php_mapscript.so working under Fedora core 3.

So far I've downloaded PHP version 4.3.9 and compiled it.
I did a make install for php.  This installed php to /usr/local/bin/

Then I compiled Mapserver 4.4.1
