I'm in the process of upgrading to Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 
4.2.3

1. Apache installation [without supporting PHP] was 
succesfful.

2. PHP 4.2.3 was also successful, this is my configure:
--prefix=/usr/local 
--enable-module=so 
--with-mod_charset 
--enable-force-cgi-direct 
--enable-discard-path 
--with-xml=shared 
--enable-sockets 
--enable-memory-limit 
--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds

I tried other configure options too.
Everything seems to work fine separate (ex. a simple php 
shell script works). 

THe problem comes when I try to start apache:
/usr/local/Apache/bin/apachectl start

I get this:

Syntax error on line 231 of 
/usr/local/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/Apache/lib/libphp4.so into server: 
/usr/local/Apache/lib/libphp4.so: undefined symbol: 
ap_block_alarms

Line 231 is:
LoadModule php4_module        lib/libphp4.so

I did a Google search and other people are having the same 
problem. No solutions were provided anywhere.

Thanks.

For the latest Apache you also need the latest PHP from snaps.php.net

I tried the latest version available  php4-200210040300 
and I still get the same error.

Why didn't you configure PHP with --with-apxs2=/path/to/apxs ?
You seem to compile PHP as CGI, and then you can't use the LoadModule line. Please compile PHP with --with-apxs2 and reopen if the problem still persists.

This is the latest confing I tried:
--prefix=/usr/local 
--with--apx2=/usr/local/Apache/bin/apxs 
--enable-module=so 
--with-mod_charset 
--enable-sockets 
--enable-memory-limit 
--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds 

And I still get this:

Syntax error on line 259 of 
/usr/local/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/Apache/modules/libphp4.so into 
server: /usr/local/Apache/modules/libphp4.so: undefined

I'm having the same problem.

Have apache2 installed,
Installed mod_php4 on freebsd using the ports collections.
and exact same error as the user above

got the same problem, but now its fix. The solution is easy, you probably configuring sources wrong.

./configure --with-apxs2=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql  

try this
