[White]

Hi Falko,

ive done the perfect lenny setup and proftp and virtual users with mysql and everything is fine.

Now i wanted to install eAccelerator which requires lighttpd and i was following Install PHP 5.3.0/Lighttpd On Debian (Lenny) With Imap, MySQL, Sqlite3 And ImageMagick Support

the first statement is aptitude install lighttpd thats when i hit my first error

the output from the shell was this

server1:~# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
Stopping web server: lighttpd.
Starting web server: lighttpd/usr/sbin/lighttpd: Symbol `FamErrlist' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking
2009-09-02 18:00:33: (network.c.300) can't bind to port: 80 Address already in use

server1:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
Stopping web server: apache2 ... waiting ..
server1:~# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
Stopping web server: lighttpd.
Starting web server: lighttpd/usr/sbin/lighttpd: Symbol `FamErrlist' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking

Apache2 isnt installed properly shed loads of directories are missing, can you tell me how to uninstall apache2 and php5 all the modules for both as loaded from the perfect setup then i can re-install them from the setup again

I put back all my old apache2 dir's and purged lighttpd, i can access www.mydomain.com as this seems to be working and is located in /var/www/mydomain/index.html

my sites enabled points to doc route /var/www/mydomain

however all my other sites are located in /etc/home and are php files

i placed a index.html into each site and they return in the browser, thus i can deduce that there is a php issue as it isnt returning any php site

That's not true, you can use it with Apache as well: http://www.howtoforge.com/eaccelerator_php5_debian_etch

Thanks Falko, i did a rebuild on my server today from the ground up.

everything was fine until i installed eAccelerator as per the how to then the blank pages came back and various errors to do with segmentation again. But this time i noticed that one error had a conflict between eAccelerator and Xcache so i moved Xcache from the conf.d folder, restarted apache2, this did nothing.

I had a look at another php.ini file in conf.d and noticed that the

extension="eaccelerator.so"

in the eaccelerator.ini file had "" around the .so but all my other .ini files didnt so i removed them,

extension=eaccelerator.so

restarted apache2 hey presto my php sites came back. i put Xcache back in conf.d as a test restarted apache2 and again they returned blank pages so i undid that operation now everything is fine.

Hoping this may help someone else.
