installing PHP as a DSO

I am getting an error after compiling apache and php as a DSO. When I go to start the server, I get the following error:

Syntax error on line 205 of /var/lib/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Canot load /var/lib/apache/libexec/libphp4/so into server:
libmysqlclient.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Both programs compiled with no errors. line 205 in the httpd conf file is as follows:

LoadModule php4_module libexec/libphp4.so


Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

This is the most seen errors and most asked question by far when building PHP with mysql support.

Do a search in all forums or just Apache and PHP and use the keyword libmysqlclient.so.

>> Does anyone have any ideas?

Because mysql was installed to a non-standard place (setting PREFIX as /usr/local is the standard) and therefore PHP was unable to located it.

Also take a look at this -> http://forums.devshed.com/showthrea...0786&forumid=15 and see why installing mysql to /usr/local/mysql is bad.

Thanks,

That information was very helpful. I has no idea about the locations where you should install programs. Every tutorial I have seen, always shows installing to /usr/local/mysql or apache. Thanks for the info.
I actually got it working. I had to add add the path of the libmysqlclient.so.10 to ls.so.1. That seemed to do the trick.

Thanks for all your help.
