Hello,

While I am not new to using JBossAS, I am new to configuring it. I had a working JBossAS installation on Windows 7 and I wanted to be able to run some PHP as well so I tried to follow the documentation that I found here:

http://www.jboss.org/jbossweb/modules/php.html and http://docs.jboss.org/jbossweb/3.0.x/php.html

The instructions weren't very clear to me so I will inform you of the steps that I took to install the module:

1) Download the PHP Module win32 package php5servlet-windows-i586-SP1.zip from:http://www.jboss.org/jbossweb/modules/php.html

2) Extract the contents of php5servlet-windows-i586-SP1.zip to the root of the JBoss installation

3) Edit server.xml to add the line <Listener className="org.apache.catalina.servlets.php.LifecycleListener"/>

4) Edit conf/web.xml to add:

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>php</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.php.Handler</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
          <param-name>debug</param-name>
          <param-value>0</param-value>
        </init-param>
         <load-on-startup>6</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>phps</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.php.Highlight</servlet-class>
    </servlet>


    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>php</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.php</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>phps</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>*.phps</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

5) In server.xml changed

<Listener className="org.apache.catalina.servlets.php.LifecycleListener"/>

to

 <Listener className="org.jboss.web.php.LifecycleListener"/>

6) In conf/web.xml changed

 <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.php.Handler</servlet-class>

to

 <servlet-class>org.jboss.web.php.Handler</servlet-class>

and

 <servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.php.Highlight</servlet-class>

to

<servlet-class>org.jboss.web.php.Highlight</servlet-class>

7) I also downloaded and installed jbossweb-extras.jar for php in the lib folder of the server

The instruction say that you need to add the following line to the bin/run.conf in order to use the php demo that was included with the module:

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JBOSS_HOME/PHP/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I replaced $JBOSS_HOME with the location of the server install.

8) As a last step, the instructions say to start and restart the server.

The problems come when I try to access the demo using http://localhost:8080/php-examples/index.php

These are some of the error that jboss is giving:

WARN  [ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.web.deployment

ERROR [MainDeployer] Could not start deployment:

I am pulling out what little hair I have left and could really use your help.

Thanks in advance,
