This is the error I am getting.

ptay1-ds# /www/bin/apachectl start
Syntax error on line 205 of /www/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /www/libexec/libphp4.so into server: /www/libexec/libphp4.so: Undefined symbol "core_globals"
/www/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started
ptay1-ds#

This is how I installed apache and php and the files that I included in the httpd.conf file


I followed all of these steps to install the current version of php on my freebsd server 4.3 and apache 1.3.26.

1.  gunzip apache_xxx.tar.gz
2.  tar -xvf apache_xxx.tar
3.  gunzip php-xxx.tar.gz
4.  tar -xvf php-xxx.tar
5.  cd apache_xxx
6.  ./configure --prefix=/www --enable-module=so
7.  make
8.  make install
9.  cd ../php-xxx
10. ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs
11. make
12. make install

  If you decide to change your configure options after installation
  you only need to repeat the last three steps. You only need to 
  restart apache for the new module to take effect. A recompile of
  Apache is not needed.

11. cp php.ini-dist /usr/local/lib/php.ini

  You can edit your .ini file to set PHP options.  If
  you prefer this file in another location, use
  --with-config-file-path=/path in step 8.

12. Edit your httpd.conf or srm.conf file and check that these lines are
    present and not commented out:
  
   AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

   LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so
 
  You can choose any extension you wish here.  .php is simply the one
  we suggest. You can even include .html, and .php3 can be added for 
  backwards compatibility.
 
  The path on the right hand side of the LoadModule statement must point
  to the path of the PHP module on your system. The above statement is 
  correct for the steps shown above.


13. Use your normal procedure for starting the Apache server. (You must
    stop and restart the server, not just cause the server to reload by
    use a HUP or USR1 signal.)


Apache is installed in the /www and I added all the lines as it said in the docs to the httpd.conf file. Why am I getting this error when I try and start up appache?


/www/bin/apachectl start


These two lines are in my httpd.conf file

LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Did you have any shared extensions installed before?
Any Zend extensions (like the zendoptimizer) ??
Or was this the first time you installed PHP on this machine?

I installed it a few times because php does not support the current version of apache 2.x, then I deleted the apache and the php directory, and re-installed them.

Can you please tell me that exact file name or extensions that I need to delete, or please explain here how I can re-install apache and php again so it will work.

Thank you

Do you have these lines in httpd.conf

LoadModule php4_module        libexec/libphp4.so
AddModule mod_php4.c

(These should be added by the apxs script automatically.)

To uninstall everything properly, if your /www directory
only contains the PHP/Apache stuff, then just rm -rf /www

Anyway, this is not any bug in PHP. Please ask further
support questions on these mailing lists: php-install@lists.php.net or php-general@lists.php.net

Undefined symbol "core_globals" 

this message is related to linker/loader
errors usualy created by configuring with
--enable-versioning and then trying to 
load an extension into php on certain 
platforms

what you experience is most likely not 
a php bug but some strange effect
introduced in your setup at some point

i've been building php on freebsd 3.3
and 4.4 myself every once in a while,
including 
without problems, and just tried 
*exactly* the steps you gave in your first
post, with the only difference that i have
freebsd 4.4 instead of 4.3 and everthing 
works fine

please aks for help on the php-general
or php-install mailing list 
( http://www.php.net/mailing-lists.php )
and do not blame php or the php documentation
for whatever mishappened on your system
