hi! i'm trying to install macport's apache, mysql server, and php5. i did this without error (output omitted): % sudo port install apache % sudo port install mysql5 +server % sudo port install php5 +apache +mysql5 +imap +tidy +sqlite +pear Then this (output omitted): % sudo cp /opt/local/etc/php.ini-dist /opt/local/etc/php.ini % cd /opt/local/libexec/apache % sudo /opt/local/apache/bin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so ...but there is no "/opt/local/apache" so from "/opt/local/libexec/apache" where "libphp5.so" exists, I tried both apxs's in /opt/local/, like this: % sudo /opt/local/sbin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so [activating module `php5' in /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf] cp /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf.bak cp /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf.new /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf rm /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf.new % sudo apachectl configtest Syntax error on line 237 of /opt/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf: API module structure `php5_module' in file /opt/local/libexec/apache/libphp5.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO? Same result with % sudo /opt/local/var/macports/software/apache/1.3.37_0/opt/local/sbin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" libphp5.so Any idea what the problem is? The /opt/local/ versions of apache & mysql are otherwise fine and working.
