PHP4, PHP4 PEAR and PHP5 on CentOS 5

PHP4 I recently released PHP4 RPM’s for CentOS 5, claiming they worked fine alongside the stock PHP5 that comes with CentOS 5.

Okey, that wasn’t entirely true. I had forgotten about php-pear! If you install php (stock version) alongsides my RPM’s you would get some errors, this has been resolved

After a few days of playing around with my RPM’s, I’ve finally managed to have a php4-pear RPM to work fine alongside php delivered by CentOS. Below an example of my results:

Hi,

I’ve been testing your RPMs for 2 days and I have a problem so I would like to know if you have tested PHP5 (default on CentOS 5.x) + PHP4 AND Apache 2.2.3 (default on CentOS 5.x too) ?

I’ve tested and after the installation of your RPMs, I’ve seen that neither php.conf (for PHP5) in /etc/httpd/conf.d, neither libphp5.so in /usr/lib/httpd/modules still exist on my server.
So I have taken these 2 files on another server and put them in directories listed above, and now Apache doesn’t want to start and I get this message:

/bin/bash: line 1: 2577 Segmentation fault /usr/sbin/httpd

With the number before “Segmentation fault” which always changes.

Maybe you’ve goot the solution ?

Thanks for your anwser

The location for the PHP5 files are not something i define, it should be /etc/php.ini for PHP5.

My RPM’s are PHP4 RPM’s…

I was able to reproduce your error. You’re trying to load PHP4 and PHP5 on apache, this is obviously not possible.

I’m using PHP4 with apache, PHP5 with Lighttpd/FastCGI.

You should remove /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf and php4.conf.
