Re: PHP, Java integration failed: Red Hat 7.1, JDK 1.4, Apache 1.3x

Hi, I have the Java support working on the following setup: * RedHat Linux 7.1 (kernel 2.4.9-31smp) * Apache 1.3.19 (apache-1.3.19-5 RPM) * Sun JDK 1.4.0 (j2sdk-1.4.0-fcs RPM) * PHP 4.1.2 (semi-custom-built RPM) I have PHP installed from RPM, but I actually compiled in Java support myself. I used the excellent RPM packages from Troels Arvin (http://rpms.arvin.dk/php/) as a base, patched the spec file to add in Java support and rebuilt the packages. I submitted a patch for the spec file to Troels, but he hasn't yet made a php-java sub-package available yet, due to some problems I think he has making it work for him. I don't know why, because it was working fine for me as it was! I think his problems stem from the fact he made this change to my additions whilst amending for PHP 4.2.1: %if %{WANT_java} %post java %EXTENSION_HANDLE java ON %preun java if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then %EXTENSION_HANDLE java OFF fi %endif [...] %if %{WANT_java} %files java %defattr(-,root,root) %{RPM_EXTENSION_DIR}/java.so %{RPM_EXTENSION_DIR}/php_java.jar %endif Whereas I had this: %if %{WANT_java} %post java %EXTENSION_HANDLE libphp_java ON %preun java if [ "$1" = 0 ]; then %EXTENSION_HANDLE libphp_java OFF fi %endif [...] %if %{WANT_java} %files java %defattr(-,root,root) %{RPM_EXTENSION_DIR}/libphp_java.so %{RPM_EXTENSION_DIR}/php_java.jar %endif The compilation doesn't actually spit out a java.so file (I don't know why - probably to avoid a possible name confilct with some JVM's modules). So, if you grab his source RPM and spec files (http://rpms.arvin.dk/php/source/), make the above changes, as well as changing "WANT_java" to "1", you will probably get some working packages once built. The only other things I had to do weren't to do with compilation. Firstly, I needed to add the following lines to /etc/ld.so.conf: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386 /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/server and run 'ldconfig' afterwards. Secondly, I added the following to /etc/profile to add the Java binaries to the system path: if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -q "/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin"; then PATH="$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/bin" fi Finally, I used the following settings in my php.ini file: [java] java.class.path="/usr/lib/php4/php_java.jar" java.library.path="/usr/lib/php4" Hope all this helps!
