Hey,

I have setup a test system on my home network in the past to develop & test
PHP apps by installing an ISAPI PHP dll in IIS. It worked great but now I
trying to setup a LAMP server on Debian/Lenny. I ran the following command;

aptitude install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5

But got the following error message;

Setting up apache2-mpm-prefork (2.2.4-3) ...
Starting web server: apache2apache2: Syntax error on line 187
of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 3
of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /etc/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into
server: /etc/apache2/modules/libphp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory
failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript apache2, action "start" failed.

The error is pointing to this line in the httpd.conf;

LoadModule php5_modulemodules/libphp5.so

But this directory or file don't exist in the /etc/apache2 directory.

Not sure how to fix this. I'm a newbie when it comes to the LAMP server apps.
Any would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Randy

hmmm... on my system, libphp4.so is in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/ so it
looks like something's got a bad path there, but that is the limit of
my on this. Check the bug reports for the relevant packages and
probably manually fix-up that path in the meantime.
