Re: PHP v5.2.5 installation

Pleased to hear you have it sorted now Jesse. In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice they are not. On Wed, 5 Dec 2007, Jesse Santana wrote:

I do tar up my PHP directory before performing an upgrade and I keep these tar files around indefinitely so I can always reference them if needed. I install PHP in the same directory each time because we are running PHP as a CLI and I don't have access to all the scripts that our 25 different webmasters and countless students have written. The last thing I want to do is to have to tell everyone to change the shebang line in each script every time I upgrade PHP. We have tossed around the idea of a soft link but for now we continue to tar up the old directory and replace it with the new.

What about if you just copied the php cli to /usr/local/bin, or /usr/bin? That way it would be in the PATH and that path will not change between upgrades? My /user/local is on a seperate partition, so anything installed there should survive an OS upgrade. I also see from your ./configure script that you do not use the '--with-readline' option. On Fedora 8 I have to use this option to allow me to use php interactively like a BASIC interpreter. This is really handy for debugging PHP one line interactively at a time. I thought this was enabled by default, but apparently it's not. Try typing php -a at a shell command. You should then see something like this: [root@karsites php-5.2.x]# php -a Interactive shell php > echo "Hello World"; Hello World php > php > $keywords = '$40 for a g3/400'; php > $keywords = preg_quote($keywords, '/'); php > echo $keywords; // returns \$40 for a g3\/400 \$40 for a g3\/400 php > php > quit [root@karsites php-5.2.x]# Really handy for checking out those one-liners that your not sure about. If php just seems to hang and output a command prompt, then you probably need to use the '--with-readline' option. Kind Regards Keith Roberts

I was able to determine that my problem was related to the --with-openssl addition in my configure statement. As soon as I changed that to --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl, the make completed successfully. The mysql_set_character undefined symbol error was sort of misleading but it's not the first time I've seen something like this.

To: php-install@lists.php.net From: Jesse Santana <jsantana@csulb.edu> Subject: [PHP-INSTALL] PHP v5.2.5 installation I am running a Solaris 10 (SPARC) system that has Apache 2.2.6 and PHP v5.2.2 installed. PHP is running as a CLI and not as an Apache module. The system works fine. I am now in the process of upgrading PHP to version 5.2.5 using the following configuration parameters: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-openssl \

Not sure if this answers your prob at all - but it may help keep things apart in the future and avoid any other conflicts. Would it be a better option to compile each version of PHP (and any other compiled software, including different versions of Apache (http, https)) into it's own subdirectory under /usr/local? That way you will have the previous version for reference purposes, and also as a 'fallback' untill you have your latest version up and running? These are the main reasons I like to compile php and apache myself. It's handy just copying the configuration files from the old version across to the new version, without messing up the previous version's installation. ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php-5.2.5 I would be inclined to do a 'make clean' in the php-5.2.5 source dir, and try again with the above installation prefix. See what that does. HTH Keith Roberts

--with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/local/oracle/instantclient_10_2 \ --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-mysql-sock=/tmp/mysql.sock \ --with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib \ --enable-fastcgi --with-xsl \ --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/libmcrypt --enable-mbstring \ --with-ldap The configure finishes fine but when I run make I get the following

error:

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to sapi/cgi/php-cgi collect2: ld returned 1 exit status *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `sapi/cgi/php-cgi'

Can you do a clean compile without building the php-cgi module? If so this may give you a clue where the problem is.

I have MySQL version 5.0.37 installed on the system and running and I

have

both my PATH variables and LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the appropriate MySQL directories. Can someone shed some light on what this error is telling me and how I

can

fix it? Thanks! Jesse Jesse Santana Project Lead - Enterprise Services Group Information Technology Services California State University, Long Beach 1250 Bellflower Blvd. Long Beach, CA 90840 Office: (562)985-8511
