I've documented my attempt to create my own PHP5 DSO on Leopard because the included one doesn't support PostgreSQL. You can see here:

http://reduxcomputing.com/leopard-php5.html

I can get it compile fine, but when apache loads it, it results in some kind of "architecture" problem. Is anybody familiar with this problem?

Depending on how it compiles, the error varies. Here's the key excerpts from the write so you know if you're looking at the same thing:

Syntax error on line 114 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so: no matching architecture in universal wrapper

Syntax error on line 114 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

In my quest for finding a solution to my problem - I came across the exact same problem you've mention and it's solution on some other forum. Let me look it up - I can't remember where I saw it, but I saw somebody talking about it .

Alright found it!

This is the thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5676677&tstart=0

This is the post from someone who had a similar problem:

Recompiling PHP would involve installing the Developer Tools off the Leopard DVD and downloading the PHP source from php.net.

I wouldn't quite recommend that yet as I have done that and have ended up in a worse situation than when I had started. Basically I downloaded the GD library, libjpeg, libpng libraries, got those installed. Then got the PHP source unzipped and configured with:

./configure --with-zlib --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/bin --with-png-dir=/usr/local/bin --with-gd --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-libxml-dir=/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages --with-curl --with-apxs2

Compiled and installed, but Apache was no longer able to start with the PHP5 module. The error that comes back when I try to start Apache is:

httpd: Syntax error on line 114 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

I'm wondering if PHP is being built in 32bit but Apache in Leopard is 64bit. I can't seem to find any information on this problem.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Solution has been found!

The same thing here - after building PHP from source, i get the same error message: Cannot load /usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so, 10): no suitable image found. Did find:\n\t/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp5.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

I've been able to eliminate the whole problem by recompiling Apache2 from source:

./configure --enable-layout=Darwin --enable-mods-shared=all
make
make install

It's even not necessary to rebuild PHP after that. Just relaunch web sharing in System Preferences > Sharing

I think the problem was in apxs2, which was, i suppose, compiled in universal binary format as shipped in Leopard.

Indeed, it does work! Good enough for now. Been working like this for about 4 days now. Seems to be no side effects. However, I will be interested to see what comes of this, because this way doesn't seem to be ultimate best solution.

I'm having some problems with my installation, wish this forum was a bit more active. A few posts I found were a great help.

hi,

i'm wondering if the solution from mickey79 in oct 2007 still holds for this error on darwin? i only need to recompile apache2 and it should clear the error?

tia,
