build php with db2-support, AND java, and ONLY when running it under APACHE (I tried several versions, but last time i used:1.3.20).

If i remove db2-support, it works ok, or run php standalone.

this bug exists in db2 7.1 (patchlevel 0,2,3 (latest)).

i have reproduced it under ibmjdk118, ibmjdk1.3, suns jdk1.2.2, suns jdk1.3.

workaround:  don't use db2 in php, do it from java instead.

cd /root
tar xvfz apache_1.3.20.tar.Z 
cd apache_1.3.20
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=so
make
make install

# 1.3
tcsh
setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.2.5
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/jdk1.3/jre/lib/i386/client:/opt/jdk1.3/jre/lib/i386/classic:/opt/jdk1.3/jre/lib/i386
set path = ( /opt/jdk1.3/bin/ $path )
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --without-mysql --enable-sockets --with-java 
make
make install

restart apache)
(try run except.php to load java from apache).
now it works...

then:

add this line to php, (and make rm -rf on the php-directory, because of severe bugs in the configure/make process) (only configure from scratch work 100%).
--with-ibm-db2=/home/db2inst1/sqllib 
(also add /usr/Ibmdb2/V7.1/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

(restart apache)
(try run except.php (from netscape) to load java from apache).
now it does not work.
there will be NO response output.
