Exactly the same dump with 4.1.1 with apache 2.0.28 on exactly the same os.

I just found this bug after I posted #15684 .  If you want a workaround, install gnu-pth , and configure with --with-tsrm-pth as part of your options.

Does this happen with latest CVS versions of PHP and Apache2?

FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE
Apache 2.0.35
CVS PHP (pulled 2002-04-06 ~14:00 EST)

PHP config line:
./configure --with-apxs2 --enable-track-vars --enable-versioning --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

And the result:
Cannot load /usr/local/lib/apache/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/lib/apache/modules/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "pthread_getspecific"

Same problem still on FreeBSD4.5
tested with:

apache cvs 2.0.36 with php4.2.0RC2
apache cvs 2.0.36 with last php cvs (update on 7/04)
apache release 2.0.35 with php4.2.0RC
apache release 2.0.35 with last php cvs

finally works with using trsm-pth with in php configure.

i had the same problem.

using freebsd 4.5, apache 2.0.25, php 4.2.0RC3

trying with gnu-pth

Exactly the same error here.

FreeBSD 4.5 / Release
Apache 2.0.35
PHP 4.2.0RC4

Tried:

./configure --with-apache=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-tsrm-pth

Didn't work:

./apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 217 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "pthread_getspecific"

Same results on FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE with Apache 2.0.35 / PHP 4.2.0RC4

My installation worked!

installed gnu pth and used 
--with-tsrm-pth=/usr/local/libs/pth in the configure script.

Note that this is warned in the end of the configure process.

This bug has already been fixed in the latest released version of
PHP, which you can download at http://www.php.net/downloads.php

The apache2filter is known to work with Apache 2.0.35
and either CVS HEAD or the 4.2.0 branch (or the latest 
release candidate). Please report back if you have any
problems related to FreeBSD 4.x and these versions.

I am using FreeBSD 4.5, Apache 2.0.35, GNU Pth 1.4.1 and PHP 4.2

I still get the error 
Cannot load /prog/httpd/modules/libphp4.so into server: /prog/httpd/modules/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "pthread_getspecific"
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started

even if i have installed php 4.2 with the --with-tsrm-pth option
I have spend now 5 hours to find a solution but i couldn't find any workaround... 
any ideas ?

erkan

I'm using FreeBSD 4.5, Apache-2.0.35 for freebsd 4.5, mysql-3.23.49-unknown-freebsdelf4.4-i386

I compiled with --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

httpd.conf contains:
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

And also I get this error:
Failed to start apache : 
Syntax error on line 217 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "pthread_getspecific"
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

This seems to be an FreeBSD Error only.
To solve first install pth-1.4 package from the ports
The you have to recompile php with the option:

--with-tsrm-pth, to make him use the gnu pth instead of 
the posix ones (that dont seem to work with FBSD)
then rebuild and reinstall the php-mod and it will just 
work fine

As you can see in the history, this is fairly   
common, at least a warning during ./configure   
would be nice (i.e. -- you can't compile this   
without --with-tsrm-pth and quit). Because  
people will always try to compile it without. Or  
enabling --with-tsrm-pth on freebsd by default  
and raising error, when the library is not  
found. Hm?  
Because now you closed the bug, provided a 
workaround (not a solution) and people will have 
to google out the workaround, since there's no 
documentation for it.

Installing gnu-pth is the solution, not just a work around. Take a look at the port's Makefile: /usr/ports/www/mod_php4/Maiefile. You'll see that it also installs gnu-pth.

The problem isn't just a PHP problem. I've encountered this compiling numerous packages on FreeBSD 4.x because FreeBSD <= 4 does not have a working pthread library. You have to use compiler tricks to compile threaded software and some packages still won't work unless a real thread library is installed.

FreeBSD 5.0 supposedly corrects this, but I haven't tried it.

Looks like in the latest CVS STABLE release (200209110900) this problem occurs again:

I add this line to my httpd.conf in APACHE, i already installed PHP, Im using FREEBSD 5.2.1, for some reasons..there's an error showing Syntax error on line 1 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf: Invalid command 'AddType', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration /usr/local/sbin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started.
