I am starting fresh with these rpms, on RHEL3(Plesk with php 4.3.2)… When I try to install the php5-cgi package I get a dependency for php5-cgi-pear. When I try to install php5-cgi-pear from your site I get a dependency on php5-cgi.

Catch 22.

Thanks for any help.

Jake

Download both then rpm -Uvh both RPMs at the same time rather than seperately. I’d also recommend using the yum archive. up2date supports yum archive natively and it’d mean you don’t have to worry about dependency resolution.

I am on a Virtuozzo VPS also I forgot to mention. Got it all installed.

How do I make this work with apache?

When I run a “Hello World” script from the command line I get the following error:

/usr/bin/php5/php: relocation error: /usr/bin/php5/php: undefined symbol: xmlParserInputBufferCreateFilenameDefault

Also I guess Virtuozzo doesnt give you the /proc file system so I cannot remove the #!.

Are you still having this problem? I can’t recreate it which makes me think our libxml2 packages are mismatched. Worst case scenario, download the SRC.RPM (under SRPMS) then run:

rpmbuild –rebuild php….src.rpm –define ‘dist rhel3′

Assuming your VPS template is RHEL3 of course (RHEL4 use ‘dist rhel4′).

Stuart

When building the RPM I get:

configure: error: libxml2 version 2.6.11 or greater required.

Picked up prebuilt libxml2-2.6.16-1.1 from
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el3/en/i386/RPMS.dag/

got the src rpm from your site and build with

rpmbuild –rebuild –define ‘dist rhel3′ php5-cgi-5.1.2-1.sp.src.rpm

cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/

rpm -Uvh php5-cgi*

voila..

Perlboy any tips on getting the php5 suffixed files to run through the web server? Right now I just get a 403 forbidden.

Thanks for the help.

Well, you’re on a VPS so you can’t use binfmt. Consequently, at this point you’ll need to use the #! component. In addition to this requirement ALL users (ie. those with & without binfmt) will need to make sure they chmod 755 their php5 files.

When you install the PHP5 RPMs it should place the PHP5.conf file in httpd/conf. Ie.

[root@atlas root]# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/php5.conf
#Alias /php5-cgi /usr/bin/php5

#AddHandler php5-script .php5
#Action php5-script /php5-cgi/php
AddHandler cgi-script .php5
[root@atlas root]#

If it doesn’t work you may need to restart Apache (ie. service httpd restart).

Hope that helps,

Stuart

helloworld.php is chmodded 755

apache has been restarted

php5.conf is in place

I have PSA 7.5.4 installed, this may be different for other version.

You will need to turn this on for each domain by editing the /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/conf/http.include file

Change instances of Options -Includes -ExecCGI to Options -Includes +ExecCGI

On to more important things now.

Thanks again Stuart.

Jake

The ExecCGI option should be enabled for a domain when the “CGI Support” option is selected under Hosting setup.

Stuart

Great this repository, i run Redhat 3AS. Ofcourse i can use your rpm’s with my server (the 3ES ones). Do you also have updates for the apache server? Is the only thing i’m missing…

Keep up the good work!

Apache updates are supplied as part of the up2date service. You simply need to setup a RHN subscription for your Redhat 3AS machine then layer my updates on top of up2date.

Stuart

No I can’t. I don’t have a Redhat AS/ES subscription nor would I supply the RPM if I did. That’s not to mention that by placing the Apache RPM into the repository I could potentially stuff a large of servers using both RHN up2date & the Seekbrain repository.

RHEL 3 caused me lots of headaches since it was
shipped without MySQL Server, and the php 4.3.2-8
has been compiled against MySQL 3.23.

At least i succeeded in installing MySQL 4.1.18 and it works fine with the correspoding client on the commandline. But PHP kept complaining of missing “libmysqlclient.so.10″ until i manually moved this
file back, which is not a clean solution i guess…

I assume i should go for your PHP 4.4.2 Standard Build. Are there any compatibility issues between
CentOS 3 and RHEL 3 ? Do i have to configure anything
before installing ? I’m sort of a newbie.
Thanks a ton !
Jürgen

CentOS3 IS RHEL3 so there shouldn’t be any compatibility issues. As far as I’m aware RHEL3 came with MySQL so I’m not sure why you’re having issues installing it.

Anyway, you SHOULD be able to download all the mysql-* & php-* files and install them together. You may instead with to have a look at adding the repository to up2date as a yum archive (check /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources for information).

Stuart

Thanks for you hint, i’d rather keep MySQL 4.1.18
installed and just update php. Do you think this
could work ?

Jürgen

Cheers,

Stuart

my plan now is to upgrade these two packages

1) php-4.4.2-1.sp.i386.rpm
2) php-mysql-4.4.2-1.sp.i386.rpm

with the options you specified.

what is mysql-compat ? is it mandatory ?

all the best,
Jürgen

Add the Seekbrain yum repository to your yum config then run:

yum install php5-cgi

Cheers,

Stuart

I have one small problem however, the phpize app in the php-devel package doesn’t work, I get the following error when building eAccelerator:

# phpize
Cannot find build files at ‘/usr/lib/build’. Please check your PHP installation.

The original RHEL3 php-devel contains a directory called /usr/lib/php/build that contains a load of automake macros.

Cheers

A script I have wants me to add this so that this cpr.php script executes with php5:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AddHandler php5-script .php
Action php5-script /cgi-bin/php5

I installed your rpm, but I cannot figure out how to change the php5.conf file to make it work for the above. Any thouhgts or ideas are appreciated.
