I have compiled PHP 5.3 on ubuntu about two months ago following Brandon Savages guide (I think). It works. Now I wanted to see in what file apache stored the location of the PHP binary but I can't find it, it's not in any configuration file. Does apxs2 has something to do with that?

edit:

cat /etc/apache2/mods-available/php5.load

gives

LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

  • Thanks. The output: "LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so" I've seen this but couldn't connect it to a php binary. How does this file load PHP?

  • Is this file created and added to the apache dir by the make/make install?

    When PHP is built/used as a module the PHP interpreter is loaded into the Apache server (via that LoadModule directive). The web server and the PHP interpreter run in the same process - think Kirby eating critters and gaining their powers :)
