We're been unable to get php4 running as a nsapi module on iplanet 4.1
 
we have been using the instructions specified on http://benoit.noss.free.fr/php/install-php4.html and on http://php.ca/manual/en/install.netscape-enterprise.php 
 
we used the following configure command: 
 
/configure --without-mysql --with-nsapi=/u01/apps/netscape/server4/ --enable-track-vars --enable-libgcc 
make 
make install 
 
this appears to have worked.  there are no error messages reported.  I can execute php files on the server manually using the command: 
 
php test.php 
 
and they get interpreted properly. sounds good right? 
 
we have updated the netscape config files, mimetypes, etc.. as per the instructions, the server sees that their are configuration changes and starts without any problems but when I go to access a .php page through iPlanet I get a File Not Found / DNS error? the server runs fine otherwise, it serves up .html, .gif, .jpg, etc. files without any problems. it also does not crash when we try to access a php page - it just says "File Not Found" in the browser window??? 
 
if I look at the iPlanet error logs, I see the entry: 
 
[02/May/2002:11:02:11] info (18431): php4_init reports: Initialized PHP Module 
 
[02/May/2002:11:02:11] info (18431): php4_init reports: Initialized PHP Module

[02/May/2002:11:02:12] info (18432): php4_init reports: Initialized PHP Module 
 
for every single request of one .php file... 
 
we are also using coldfusion through iplanet using nsapi
