[Ubuntu] php mapscript isn't working

[Vince Miller]

I recently upgraded my development server and updated all the relevant software. The only thing that doesn't work is mapserver/php-mapscript.
Here's the particulars:

After Ubuntu server 12.04, postgres 9.1, apache2, and php5 seemingly (since they work) installed fine, the installation commands were :

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-cache search postgis
sudo apt-get install postgis postgresql-9.1-postgis mapserver-bin php5-mapscript cgi-mapserver

./mapserv -v # result:

   MapServer version 6.0.3 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG sUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=AGG SUPPORTS=CAIRO SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=ICONV SUPPORTS=FRIBIDI SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT SUPPORTS=WCS_SERVER SUPPORTS=SOS_SERVER SUPPORTS=FASTCGI SUPPORTS=THREADS SUPPORTS=GEOS INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

sudo find / -name php_mapscript.so # result:

/usr/lib/php5/20090626/php_mapscript.so

ls /usr/lib/php5/20090626 -l # result:

...
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2920752 Oct 24 07:11 php_mapscript.so

My php script script dies on this line:

<?php
...
$map = ms_newMapObj(__MAPS_PATH__ . 'eunomi0.map');
...
?>

Adding the line:

    dl("php_mapscript.so");

before the ms_newMapObj call also produces no result.


The mapfile eunomi0.map is:

MAP
  CONFIG "MS_ERRORFILE" "/tmp/mapserver.log"
  CONFIG "MS_DEBUGLEVEL" "4"

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME 'AGG_Q'
    DRIVER AGG/PNG
    IMAGEMODE RGB
    FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_FORCE=ON"
    FORMATOPTION "QUANTIZE_DITHER=OFF"
  END

  FONTSET "font.list"
  SYMBOLSET "symbols.sym"

  EXTENT         -180 -90 180 90
  SIZE           1190 595
  MAXSIZE        2048
  IMAGECOLOR     173 178 161 
  STATUS         OFF

... 20 or so LAYER specs


The mapserver.log file is empty. Any clues?
This worked fine on my old server.

Thanks a bunch,
Vince
