Subject: [cobalt-users] Httpd error on RaQ4R


I have just gone through updating the latest patches (I was a bit
behind) and got the following message:

Syntax error on line 58 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server. Libgd.so.1 cannot
open shared object file - No such file or directory /usr/sbin/httpd.

Anyone help please?

Richard

Richard,

Not that big of a problem, it appears that you have a problem with PHP.
Your best bet is to go and download it 4.1.2-1 from pkgmaster.com.  If you
want then as well, you can download PHP 4.2.3 from
http://www.nuonce.net/cobalt.  BUT, make sure you load the pkgmaster one
first, as 4.2.3 was just made as an upgrade from 4.1.2-1.  Once you install
at least the first one, your webserver should be back and function.  

If you still have problems with libgd.so.1 ... best bet is to do the
following:

ln -s /usr/lib/libgd.so /usr/lib/libgd.so.1

That should take care of problem.  Generally, and any Linux/Unix guru feel
free to correct me, as each new version comes out, they extend the .so to
.so.X ... a lot of times, and I have seen this, they add the symlink for
backwards compatibility.  Give that a try, and good luck!

Thanks,

Brian
