Ok..

I downloaded php 4.2.3 and apache-2.0.43 and compiled them  according
the install thingy on http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php

I first compiled Apache-2, tested it and it worked.

then i compiled PHP 4.2.3 and now apache-2 gives me this error :

daedalus# ./apachectl start
Syntax error on line 230 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"

any idea what to do next ? thanx,

I had the same problem on our development cluster which is freebsd based. I use squirrelmail webmail ( www.squirrelmail.org ) which gave me a solution in their readme for their webmail. First configure apache like you did, I did it like this
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/wwwserv2 --enable-so --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-ssl --enable-cgi
then i did a make then a make install. Then instead of configuring php like
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/wwwserv2/bin/apxs
I just did
./configure
then i did a 
make
then copy the file php to you cgi-bin directory whereever your webserver lives like this
cp php /usr/local/wwwserv2/cgi-bin/php
then edit the httpd.conf whereever your webserver's configuration file is, and add the next 2 lines
AddType application/php4script .php
Action application/php4script /cgi-bin/php
then and php pages should work. It is not the most efficent way to do it but it does work. Same security but might be a little slower, you might only notice it if you have a high demanding website. I hope this helps, if you have any more questions feel free to e-mail me at mbednarik@completecomputing.com

this is a problem with php.net software, if a developer reveiws this, i would like them to include the document i left above in the readme for other freebsd users and give credit to www.squirrelmail.org
