Description Nicholas Williams 2005-04-19 07:19:35 UTC

Description of problem:
When trying to start httpd from system services panel, I get "Start service httpd [FAILED]" which doesn't
tell me very much at all. If, however, I restart, I get a very detailed message on services starting which
tells me why starting httpd is failing. I had to restart several times to get it, as the message flash past
FAST, but this is the jist of it:

Syntax error on line 6 of php.conf ... error while loading module /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so ...
permission denied

Running "/etc/init.d/httpd start" from the command line returns only

Starting httpd:...............................................[FAILED]

libphp4.so exists, commenting out "LoadModule libphp5.so" on line 6 of php.conf doesn't do any good
because php won't load, which means Apache won't load. I suspect disabling php5 would allow Apache
to start, but my entire website revolves around php. Help?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Apache 2.0.52-?
PHP-5.0.4.x
MySQL 4.1.1.3x

How reproducible:
Made no changes to system. This happens directly after install.

Steps to Reproduce:
Install fc4test2 with Apache, php, and mysql enabled

Actual results:
Apache won't start

Expected results:
Apache should start... I can't serve my website elsewise. I can do everything else from FTP to mail to
use WebMin, but I can't get Apache to start

Additional info:
Since I manage my site remotely, I don't have access to the paper that I wrote the exact error message
down on. That is all I can remember from memory. It is accurate, but there are parts left out. I will post
those parts tomorrow when I can call my family and get someone to read the error to me.

my original post: "...libphp4.so exists, commenting..." SHOULD read: "...libphp5.so exists, 
commenting..."

Comment 3 Joe Orton 2005-04-19 07:32:42 UTC

Disable httpd SELinux transition or upgrade to the Raw Hide php package; 

# setsebool httpd_disable_trans=1
# service httpd start

should work.

Comment 4 Nicholas Williams 2005-04-19 07:38:28 UTC

[root@externalServer ~]# setsebool httpd_disable_trans=1
[root@externalServer ~]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 6 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf:
Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so: cannot 
restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
                                                           [FAILED]
[root@externalServer ~]# 

That is the exact error I got when it tries to start on restart. I just never got the error (only "[FAILED]") 
when running it through the command until I ran "[root@externalServer ~]# setsebool 
httpd_disable_trans=1".

So hmmm... didn't work... I'm sure this is simple and I'm just missing it somehow.

Comment 5 Nicholas Williams 2005-04-19 07:42:24 UTC

I also get the

[root@externalServer ~]# /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so
Segmentation fault

that he was talking about in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=154195

Comment 6 Joe Orton 2005-04-19 07:49:30 UTC

Hrm, that should work.  But upgrading to the Raw Hide php is the proper
solution, anyway.   (And no, you can't exec a shared library, that's not very
surprising)

Comment 7 Nicholas Williams 2005-04-19 07:57:45 UTC

Forgive my naivety... but how would I go about upgrading / downloading the upgrade to Raw Hide php? 
Simply pointing me to the website will be quite adequate... don't worry about trying to explain it. I 
Googled it and Bugzilla'd it real quick, but didn't find anything I understood. I'm still relatively new to 
the Linux circle...I had to move on because I've exhausted my Windows and Macintosh training ;)

Comment 8 Joe Orton 2005-04-19 08:00:35 UTC

Simply running "yum update php" should work from an FC4test2 install, I think.

Otherwise download all the php RPMs from:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386/Fedora/RPMS/

and rpm -Uvh php*.rpm them.
