Unix: I installed PHP 3 using RPMS, but it doesn't compile with
the database support I need! What's going on here?
Due to the way PHP 3 built, it is not easy to build a
complete flexible PHP RPM. This issue is addressed in PHP 4.
For PHP 3, we currently suggest you use the mechanism described in the
INSTALL.REDHAT file in the PHP distribution. If you insist on using
an RPM version of PHP 3, read on...
The RPM packagers are setting up the RPMS to install
without database support to simplify installations
and
because RPMS use /usr/ instead of the standard /usr/local/ directory for
files. You need to tell the RPM spec file which databases to support
and the location of the top-level of your database server.
This example will explain the process of adding support for the
popular MySQL database server, using the mod installation for Apache.
Of course all of this information can be adjusted for any database
server that PHP supports. We will assume you installed MySQL and Apache
completely with RPMS for this example as well.
-
First remove mod_php3 :
rpm -e mod_php3
-
Then get the source rpm and INSTALL it, NOT --rebuild
rpm -Uvh mod_php3-3.0.5-2.src.rpm
-
Then edit the
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mod_php3.spec
file
In the %build section add the database support you want, and the path.
For MySQL you would add
--with-mysql=/usr \
The %build section will look something like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/lib \
--enable-debug=no \
--enable-safe-mode \
--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-system-regex
-
Once this modification is made then build the binary rpm as follows:
rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/mod_php3.spec
-
Then install the rpm
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/mod_php3-3.0.5-2.i386.rpm
Make sure you restart Apache, and you now have PHP 3 with MySQL support
using RPM's. Note that it is probably much easier to just build
from the distribution tarball of PHP 3 and follow the instructions in
INSTALL.REDHAT
found in that distribution.
