It works --mostly.

I had to find a machine that could create a CD-ROM. I had an old imac
that worked. The next problem was finding how to boot from the CD-ROM in
SRM. np. I was then able to install the OS and a number of packages.
THANKS for the alpha port!

Apache 1.3 from the generic alpha install works and apache 2.2 works as
well.



I can not get PHP to work with apache. When I configure apache to use
php with this DSO command httpd it hangs.

LoadModule php5_module /usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so
I have also tried putting the library in the appropriate /var/www
directory with the same results. If the path is a wrong I get an error
so at least that much I did ok.

When I try to run apache2 it lists a bunch of missing symbols.

for example
/usr/local/sbin/httpd2:/usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so: undefined symbol
'ap_block _alarms'
/usr/local/sbin/httpd2:/usr/local/lib/php/libphp5.so: undefined symbol
'ap_unblo ck_alarms'


The packages for the alpha seem to have been compiled Jul, 24 2009. I
know 4.6 was released Oct 31 2009 but the date above in dmesg shows July
9 2009. It still seems to be a compilation mismatch.

I have tried bringing up httpd with -u command and I get the same
results. I have tried copying the set of libraries used by php into the
/var/www tree and it still hangs. I have tried a few other things.

I do not really want to compile from source but I am open to suggestions.


I subscribed to the OpenBSD alpha mailing list. It of course is not used
much. So I sent this to the generic list sorry.

Hm. Did you tried -STABLE php5 port? There were some problems with
suhoshin patch.

Yes, modules for Apache 1.x and 2.x are not compatible. I do not
remember, but AFAIK PHP5 port does not provide modules for 2.x.

No. It means that kernel was prepared at July, 24. Some time was took by
polishing and preparing packages (mostly for other architectures). Then
it was released - Oct 18, 2009.

Actually you'll have _more_ problems with disabling Chroot if you're
using stock programs, from base/packages.

Update your ports tree to -STABLE and run "make update" in www/php5.

Good idea this time as it's not connected to Alpha problems, as far as I
can see.
