apache problem with suse 9.1 Linux

I downloaded the complete bundle ezpublish-3[1].5.1-Linux-STABLE.i386.tar.gz and followed instructions at http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/installation/bundled_installation/ez_publish_bundle_for_linuxunix_based_systems Everything seemed to work ok and I selected port 80 (though I don't know how to check that this is available).

Looking at the last few lines of install.log I get

Starting MySQL...done
Starting Apache...done
Creating database and granting permissions

Loading http://localhost:80 into a web browser, however, does not work. When I do ps -augx I don't find Apache running. When I try to start apache manually by

P1000X2:/opt/ezpublish/apache_1.3.33/bin # ./apachectl start
Syntax error on line 205 of /opt/ezpublish/apache_1.3.33/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /opt/ezpublish/apache_1.3.33/libexec/libphp4.so into server: libmysqlclient.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./apachectl start: httpd could not be started

it complains that it cannot load the libphp4.so (which does exist) and that it cannot open libmysqlclient.so (which does NOT exist).

So I have contradictary indications from the log file, which says that apache is running, and from manual observation which says that it cannot.

I have a successful ezPublish site on Win2K but was hoping to port it to Linux. Can anybody help, please?

Well the EZ bundles are only for testing EZ publish.
I recommend that you use the apache server, MYSQL and Php that comes with SUSE 9.x.
Because setting up SUSE 9.x as a server is not very difficult at all.
:-)

- Install php, mysql and apache 2 | Yast install
- Start apache | Yast network services Http server
- Start MYSQl | Yast System runtime something (don't know English translation road with pen) MYsql as 3 and 5
- Create Mysql root password http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/adding-users.html

- Create ez database and user

- Install EZ

This post just to mention that a bug has already been open on this specicific issue : http://www.ez.no/community/bugs/ez_publish_3_5_1_linux_installer_failed_dependencies

I was unsuccesful to work around this issue in suse 9.1 ...

Well thanks, but my version of suse 9.1 is the downloadable desktop version which doesn't come with apache, mysql or php. Certainly they don't appear in the listings in the configuration tool, Yast.

I am surprised that the bundle is seemingly incomplete. If it is intended for testing how can it function without this file?

There is really no difference between the pro and the desktop version of SUSE 9.1.
Just change the install source(yast) to an ftp mirror or upgrade to 9.2 or 9.3 using a FTP mirror!
