Bug 40146 – mod_php fails to load with apache2

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Lars Weiler (RETIRED) 2004-02-01 19:39:52 UTC]

I installed mod_php-4.3.4-r3 and apache-2.0.48-r4.  Apache can't start with the option -D PHP4 set in it's config-file.  The error is:

Syntax error on line 5 of /usr/lib/apache2/conf/modules.d/70_mod_php.conf:
Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/extramodules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/lib/apache2/extramodules/libphp4.so: R_PPC_REL24 relocation 
at 0x0d77fcdc for symbol `malloc' out of range

I built PHP in the recent version with distcc enabled, but mod_php not.

For your information about my use-flags, here's emerge info (it's a mixed stable/testing machine):

Seems to be a PHP without -fPIC-issue.  See also the bug on php's site: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=5094

[Comment 2 Robin Johnson 2004-02-05 16:44:31 UTC]

trace where that malloc symbol came from (it's not native to PHP) and fix the -fPIC in that.

[Comment 3 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) 2004-02-05 17:25:42 UTC]

I already reinstalled php4 and mod_php with -fPIC set.  No change.

The stupid thing is, that qpkg doesn't know any package that belongs to the broken library /usr/lib/apache2/extramodules/libphp4.so  Any chance to find it out?

[Comment 4 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) 2004-02-05 17:38:23 UTC]

Regarding to the timestamp of that file, it seems to be installed with mod_php.

/var/db/pkg/dev-php/mod_php-4.3.4-r3/CONTENTS tells me, that the file is from this package.  Now, why didn't changed -fPIC the issue?

[Comment 5 Robin Johnson 2004-02-05 19:33:53 UTC]

as I said, the malloc symbol is NOT from php, it's from somewhere else.
you need to find that other item and fix it. I suspect c-client / uw-imap is the culpert.

[Comment 6 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) 2004-02-05 21:09:46 UTC]

Yep, it was c-client.  Thanks a lot! :-)

You should also add a append-flag to the ebuild like you already did for alpha, robbat2.  After that we can go for a stable bump of php, php_mod and apache2 on ppc.

[Comment 7 Robin Johnson 2004-02-05 21:54:03 UTC]

c-client fixed.
there will be a php/mod_php/php-cgi bump sometime this weekend probably, depending on some other stuff i'm doing with php.

tested, works.
