MySQL and PHP

Currently unning Apache 2.0.49a, PHP 4.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.18 on NetWare 6.5
 Server Version 5.70.02.

An application I need to run requires a PHP version minimum of 4.3.10. 
Every combination of PHP5 and PHP/MySQL extension I have tried abends
Apache2 and requires a full server reboot.

Can someone from Novell simply tell me which updated version of PHP will
definitely work?  I'm not real interested in bringing down the server
anymore or doing troubleshooting.  I can not imagine this known issue has
not been corrected in some release.  I would just like something that
works.  Thank you.

try updating to sp5.  This will provide you with apache 2.0.54, mysql
4.0.26a, and php 5.0.5.

Thank you for the suggestion.  Those versions for sure do not cause this
rampant abend error so many have experienced?

I run many php apps for testing and such and haven't had any issues.  you
are 3 support packs behind and are even running pre OES code so things are
much more stable now that they were then.

Hi,

NetWare
nice combo: oldest Apache, oldest PHP and latest mysql....., oh well...!

sure, because nothing does fit: you're using an Apache with buggy APR, a 
buggy LibC with math issues, and probably buggy protocol stack too..., and 
then latest mysql; I wonder that it even starts with that old libc...
in addition the php_mysql module is compiled for mysql 4.0.x only.

yep, my thoughts, but: be careful when you afterwards update to mysql 5.x - 
you need to update _manually_ your php_mysql extension or otherwise you end 
up with same abends! If you have already existing databases created with 
5.x you should not downdate to 4.x; and: be prepared that the SP will 
overwrite any existing config files and downdate your mysql without 
question! So best you save everything manually before you start with the 
SP.
