trouble starting httpd

[chris10121]

I tried upgrading my apache and php versions from apache 1.3.x to 2.x and php 4.x to 5.x. I upgraded apache fine, but when I tried to upgrade php it got messy and now my httpd service doesn't start.

ATM I get this:
"Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 30 of /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/savehost/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'php_admin_flag', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not invluded in the server configuration"

Is there any way to do a complete reinstall of apache and php or to completely rebuild these services and configs?

I tried using this guide: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=135 to update my php, but it ruined my server.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Its telling you what the error is;

/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/savehost/httpd.conf

Whats on line 30?

 

[chris10121]

the thing is i've never changed anything on line 30 or in the file it's referring to.


It says php_admin_flag engine ON

sorry I previously said php_admin_flag safe_mode ON was on line 30, but "php_admin_flag engine ON" is on line 30, either way i've trie turning them both on and off, no effect.

 

[pucky]

Line 30 should say;

php_admin_flag engine ON

Line 31 should say

php_admin_flag safe_mode OFF

You should try rebuilding php again this time watch for errors.

rebuilding now, will post what happens

[pucky]

Remove --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib \ for now and try again.

 

[chris10121]

Thank you for using PHP.

/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/ap2/configure.php5: line 12: --with-openssl: command not found

*** There was an error while trying to configure php. Check the configure/ap2/configure.php5 file

before, it said there was a problem with --with-kerbeos and I removed that. I have a feeling it's going to have a problem with a lot of things... suggestions? btw I really appreciate your help so far.

Do this and don't edit anything more:

./build update
./build all d

 

[chris10121]

woot, i did a ./build all d and httpd now works, only problem is that php still won't compile.. seems like every time i remove a --with that can't be found, another one cna't be found..

I'm not sure if every here having problems is on FreeBSD or not (I am). What eventually worked for me was running

./build rewrite_confs

Thanks for this. If anyone else just upgraded from 5.2.5 to 5.2.6 and can't get apache to start, run this!
