cant seem to get the techplatform to work on my debian linux (kernal 2.4.27). I am getting an error when I try to start apache.

Error:

Syntax error on line 244 of /usr/local/nusphere/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/nusphere/apache/libexec/libphp4.so into server: libpng.so.2: cannot ope
n shared object file: No such file or directory
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started

Is there a set of base files I need in place to get the techplatform running? Can you tell me which ones I should have on my system?

Thanks,
Jeff

please run
ldd -v /usr/local/nusphere/apache/libexec/libphp4.so
and check if all the shared objects are resolved,
then check libraries that comes with TechPlatform itself and if necessary set/update LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable in apachectl to list missed directories

I ran the command and here is what I get:

I am not sure how to do all the other things that you are saying to do.

Jeff

okay.
it printed libpng.so.2 => not found , so this library seems the only missed library.
Please check if libpng.so.2 file is in TechPlatform's directory (sorry I have no linux box under my hands right now and can't do it for you).
If not, just install libpng from your Linux distribution disks.

Thanks!!

So far it is working.

Jeff

Hi,

Another question. When I reboot my system, I get an error that says it cant start apache because it is not executable. Now i can start apache from the command line. In anycase it appears that nothing in the techplatfrom is starting on boot even though I chose those options on install.

Any idea why?

Jeff

please check if apache ctl script is symlinked from /etc/init.d/rc.d/ directory, then run chkconfig with --add option to add this script for a certain runlevel or runlevels.

Actually there ins't a directory named rc.d. So do I just create the directory, add a symlink named apache?

Thanks,
Jeff
