Bug#231450: PHP5 install through apxs2: missing leading slash in module path

[Björn Wiberg <bjorn.wiberg@home.se>]

Package: apache2-threaded-dev
Version: 2.0.48-7

Other software: PHP 5.0.0b3 and also PHP 5.0.0RC1-dev (2004-02-06 10:30).

When installing PHP 5, it calls instdso.sh which in turn calls apxs2 to
install the PHP5 SAPI loadable module. However, the resulting path to the
module in apache2.conf misses a leading slash (/).


Here is the output from PHP5's "make install" (forgive any strange line
breaks; they're due to cut-and-paste):

Below is the resulting LoadModule directive that gets added to
apache2.conf.

Notice that I've added a commented dummy LoadModule directive so that
apxs2 at all manages to figure out where to place the new LoadModule directive
(for more details, see Bug#231134).

Notice that the leading slash in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so is
missing:

  # Include module configuration:
  Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
  Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf

  # To give PHP installation a hint on where to add its LoadModule directive
  #LoadModule dummy_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_dummy.so
  LoadModule php5_module        usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

  # Include all the user configurations:
  Include /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

This of course has to be corrected manually, as any relative path to the
LoadModule directive is taken relative to the server root.

I hope that the output from PHP5's "make install" will aid you in spotting
the error (either in instdso.sh or apxs2).

Best regards,
Björn
