What is 'Garbled'? 1

[wreikun]

Hi. I recently installed PHP4 as a DSO module in apache 1.3.24 for my linux box. The installation seemed to go smoothly, however, when I try to start the httpd server, the following error message comes up:

Syntax error on line 236 of /usr/local/apache1/conf/httpd.conf:
API module structure 'php_module' in file /usr/local/apache1/libexec/libphp4.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?
/usr/local/apache1/bin/apachectl start: httpd could not be started

I dont understand what 'garbled' means so Im not quite sure what the problem is. Can anybody help?

You probably had to compile several times to get PHP just right. Make sometimes will leave object files, etc that it should recompile but does not.

Try issuing "make clean" then "make distclean" from your PHP source directory. Then recompile.
