Hi Does ALUG have a LUG library? Would you like to start one?:-) Wrox Press is a UK publisher (based in Birmingham)- We publish books on Linux and related technologies for professional programmers. I can send out free review copies of our books and it seems only right to me that some of these should got to the UK LUGs :-) I'd like to send you a copy of, "Beginning Linux Programming 2nd Edition" (with a foreword by Alan Cox)ISBN: 1861002971. If someone at ALUG could review the book and put a review up on your web site then that would be fair exchange :-) If you like the sound of my plan then send me your postal address and I'll send you a copy of the book.

I'm happy to 'oblige', would anyone else rather give it a go? James? Thom? If nobody else is interested, I'll send Rob my address tomorrow...

Sounds good to me - I need to get back "into" programming, so this sounds like a good oppurtunity, at the level - I'm guessing - the book is aimed at. Cheers Thom

I got this book for Christmas, haven't read much of it yet :) Looked okay, a little thin on cvs commands, and doesn't seem to cover KDE (does cover GNOME). Maybe I'll take another look.

I have a question about compiling php as a module for apache. I've been using the mod-php rpm which comes with RedHat 6.0 CD for some simple php programming. I am now in the process of trying to combine php and mysql to start creating some database driven web applications. However the mod-php rpm with Redhat does not have mysql support compiled in. I downloaded the latest php src and compiled it (initially without mysql support just to test it). After a little bit of playing around to find the correct apache include directory to choose I got the modphp module to compile. It has a filename similar to modphp3.a. I copied this to etc/httpd/modules/ where the old modphp3.so module was. However there is now a problem when httpd (apache) starts up, it complains "can not link to shared library modphp3.a". How do I overcome this problem? The above message tends to imply I need to make the module using a slightly different method, but I don't know which flags to set and the installation documentation does not cover this. Thanks in advance for your help. Ashley Dr. Ashley T.

The modphp3.a file is a static library rather than a shared library. This means that apache cannot load the module at runtime, rather it must be statically linked at compile time. From what I remember, the installation documentation explains how to do that. Failing that, you may be able to build the PHP module as a shared library - check the options on the configure script (look for an option called '--enable-shared' or similar.)

Indeed. IIRC the INSTALL file within the PHP source tarball contains the installation routine for just such a configuration command-by-command. You really cannot miss it. I believe the easier method is to use DSO (Dynamic Shared Object) compilation of Apache which to allow you to compile up PHP seperately, and then install directly to the apache lib directory - all that is then needed is an apache restart with the appropriate LoadModule(?) line in the httpd.conf. All very easy (easier than the above). James.

No but I bet it's a little harder than that to install Apache compiled up with PIII full optimisations, bearing in mind that such a thing isn't uncommon at all. I've just seen this: http://www.PenguinMagazine.com/Magazine/This_Issue/0010 which takes you through the Apache/PHP/MySQL install process. Good timing that :-) James.

James.
Thank-you, using the above it now works and I can now start to learn php/mysql. I'm still playing around with compiling php from source and found the argument to compile it as an apache module to be (on my Redhat 6.0 machine): ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs ... And i've just now got the php source code to compile correctly (with mysql, dbase, etc) database support and it's working with Apache. Yippee! Thanks again for your help. Ashley Dr. Ashley T.

Hmm. Interesting. gcc can't optimise for anything above a 486. Besides, that *is* a fairly uncommon thing to do unless you are getting *vast* numbers of hits, and if you're serving that many hits off a single server, you're almost certainly Doing It Wrong (tm) anyway.

Well, both Sourceforge and Themes.org apaches are configured with PIII optimisations, I've seen the ./configure arguments. Mind you, I don't claim any knowledge of such advanced apache configurations so I disclaim any untruthfulness in my words, as always *g*.
