How to know which PHP is used by Apache
in [General]

From: Nilesh Govindarajan on 1 Apr 2010 12:34 libphp5.so doesn't need the php binary. I've confirmed this using a test. My local apache is configured to use libphp5.so I moved /usr/bin/php to /root, then started apache and ran drupal. It worked. This confirms that libphp5.so is independent of the php binary in /usr/bin as I suggested earlier. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !

You're right, and of course not. libphp5.so *is* a "PHP binary" :-) > I've confirmed this using a test. > > My local apache is configured to use libphp5.so > > I moved /usr/bin/php to /root, then started apache and ran drupal.

One is an executable binary file ... a program. The other is also a binary file, but it's a _library_. What I said was you need one or the other. "A" binary file, either the Apache SO or the "binary" interpreter... It's possible to configure Apache to use a PHP executable (CGI), and the CGI and CLI executables are similar, if not identical. I dunno if anyone actually does that anymore, though. :-) Ashley said "The libphp5.so is the Apache module that links PHP into Apache. You need this and PHP installed if you want to use PHP in Apache." Devendra apparently misinterpreted this to mean that you need both the SO and the binary interpreter, but you don't. You DO need the rest of the PHP extensions, libraries, config files, etc. ... a "PHP installation", whether or not your have the CLI binary is not that important, although I always do since I like to run system scripts in PHP via cron, etc. Kevin Kinsey

Super misunderstanding. Anyway, I did that test to help Devendra. -- Nilesh Govindarajan Site & Server Administrator www.itech7.com मेरा भारत महान ! मम भारत: महत्तम भवतु !
