I ran into something similar a while ago. As I am not a php expert, I am not
sure how complete, or even accurate this is, but it *did* work in my case.
>From what I gather, PHP and the new Apache 2x series of servers are not
completely tested out yet. Hence, some stuff does not work correctly. PHP
happens to be one of them.
I tried installing PHPNuke 6 on my site and had nothing but problems. The
file_exists() function in php was completely hosed, so I had to rewrite
large portions of the code, making sure that there was a call to the
get_cwd() function to prefix each call. I never did get the MySQL stuff to
work, or even connect to the database - even though it was on the same box.
To get around the problem, I shutdown the apache service via the setup
utility. I then whacked the running processes via apachectl. Once this was
done, I downloaded the newest version of the apache 1x server, php, and
mysql. I exploded the packages into the tmp directory, compiled them and
used the --prefix directive for configure so that when the install ran they
would finish up in the opt directory. ( This is not necessary but kinda good
because I can use tar to capture apache, mysql, the databases and php in a
single tar file for backup. )
Once they were installed, I simply started them up. They have been up and
running since with no errors. The entire assembly works like a charm.
An additional note : If you do finish up compiling apache, make certain that
you configure your webserver to disallow proxying. One thing that I have
discovered during the course of running a site is that there is seemingly no
end to the lame tactics that wanna-be ( and I put this into quotes here )
"hackers" will attempt to use. For example, I caught one the other day
attempting to pull down Yahoo's main page via my server.... lame.
Hope that this Helps.
