Apache without the workload

Not sure how I would achieve this. I must have missed this comment

You remove the conf file that points to whatever application you are trying to host.

Right I'm having trouble locating it. Been looking for awhile. I'm going to try to talk to one of the developers tomorrow when they are here

It is apache. It has known config locations that cannot just be changed.

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf for starters.

Even back in RHEL 4 (yes this is still a live server I just made the screenshot from).

@JaredBusch Wouldn't this be apache related, but actually php?

oci8.so is what I'm trying to comment out somewhere

Jared provided the location. /etc/httpd/ has all the Apache config files.

No, it is not. That's a C library. Start with what we are talking about... disabling the workload. Ignore the shared libraries, I think you are getting stuck in the weeds. Yes, the errors might be related to that, but likely you have a bigger problem.

Everytime I search for oci8, the results say something about PHP and Oracle.

scottalanmiller

Yeah, looks like the Oracle DB client is installed.

backup the file

sudo cp /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak

the pop it in vi/nano and look for not default things.

also rename anything in /etc/httpd/conf.d

sudo mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/wtf.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/wtf.conf.bak

then restart apache

sudo service stop httpd
sudo service start httpd

In fact, I would rename anything in conf.d first, and restart.

JaredBusch

Assuming that doesn't work, then you can do the same with the php.ini

I put in a change request for this. Thanks

You could do something like this...

mv conf.d conf.d.orig
mkdir conf.d

That way you have an empty folder, but can replace it with the old one in a snap all at once.
