Apache loading PHP module - undefined symbol: unixd_config

Question

I'm configuring a new web server on a RedHat 6.5 and am trying to enable the php5 module on Apache 2.4.6:

LoadModule php5_module /usr/path/to/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

• When I check httpd.conf with Apache, I get the following error about the LoadModule's line:

  Cannot load /usr/path/to/libphp5.so into server: /usr/path/to/libphp5.so: 
  undefined symbol: unixd_config
  

I wonder if the problem is because I have two PHP versions installed? The one Apache should use is the alias php55; what is the configuration for it?

Solution 1

I used the following and built libphp5.so on my own:

<FilesMatch \.php$>
  SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
PHPIniDir "/path/to/php/lib"

Solution 2

The Apache API changed from 2.2 to 2.4, with unixd_config renamed to ap_unixd_config (see API changes from 2.2 to 2.4).

You need a PHP module version that is compatible with Apache 2.4, else stay with Apache 2.2.

And where can I get the good module version?

For sure the right versions is available in Red Hat packages, unfortunately I can't help you further with this (I'm always with Debian). If you install standard packages you should be allright.
