Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 155321
httpd start [FAILED]
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:04 EST
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..."

Disable httpd SELinux transition or upgrade to the Raw Hide php package; # setsebool httpd_disable_trans=1 # service httpd start should work. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 154195 ***
[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.
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
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) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 154195 ***
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 ;)
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.
