    I'm stuck...again.

    Very long story short I tried to upgrade from Sarge to Etch and everything seems to look okay, other than PHP5 failed.

    <code>
    atest:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload
    Forcing reload of web server: Apache2 ... failed!
    You may still have some apache2 processes running. There are
    processes named 'apache2' which do not match your pid file,
    and in the name of safety, we've left them alone. Please review
    the situation by hand.
    Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load:
    API module structure `php5_module' in file /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so is garbled - perhaps this is not an Apache module DSO?
    atest:~#
    </code>

    I've googled around and keep coming up with people walking through compiling Apache2 from source which is NOT what I want to do ;)

    Can someone please help me un-break my system?

    Thanks!!!

    What's in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load?
    Have you tried to run
    Code:
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade
    ?

    apt-get update goes okay.

    apt-get upgrade I get the following:

    php5.load has the following:

    a-test:~# cat /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.load
    LoadModule php5_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so

    What's the output of
    Code:
    ls -l /usr/lib/apache2/modules/libphp5.so
    ? What's in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/debian_version?

    If it has any relevance, this is the same box you'd made some recommendations on to install rsycn because it wanted to replace the kernel, with the same one. (that is what lead to to fully upgrading the box)

    I did a :
    Code:
    # apt-get update
    
    # apt-get install aptitude
    
    # aptitude -f --with-recommends dist-upgrade
    So I think it probably showing 4. instead of 3., but beyond that I don't know.

    Replace your sources.list with this one:

    Code:
    deb http://ftp.freenet.de/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
    deb-src http://ftp.freenet.de/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
    
    deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
    deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib non-free
    Then run
    Code:
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade

    Still holding back Apache. Is that the source of the problem?

    Thanks for your helP!

    You could try this:
    Code:
    apt-get install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-utils

    I wound up that those packages were "held back"

    I basically gave up and built another server from scratch :)

    Thanks for your help!
