Hi All,

I am unable to install PHP.
Server: Linux version 4.4.120-92.70-default (gcc version 4.8.5 (SUSE Linux) )

Troubleshooting done from end :

1) Before executing make && make install, I have used make clean
2) Tried installing php 7 and php 5 version, but failed
3) .htaccess is no-where present on server

Below is the error that I get while installing :

ext/dom/.libs/node.o: In function `dom_canonicalization':
/usr/local/src/php-5.6.35/ext/dom/node.c:1901: undefined reference to `xmlOutputBufferGetSize'

Maybe you could install PHP from the repos using yast2.

Is there any other way to do it. What could you be possible issues with the current installation ?

The question is, why do you want to install from source. The system can't keep track of the installation when oyu do that, so PHP could break at any time. Yes, there is another way to do it: install from a source package, which is what you're trying to do. It looks like your missing some dependencies. When you install from source, you have to manually check the dependencies and install them.

As I am new to this, can you please let me know exact steps to install from repos. It is not like that I haven't tried, but it is still not working for me

So if you don't know how to do it...how, exactly, did you try it??? And instead of "still not working", why don't you tell us exactly what you typed in, and what happened afterwards?

And a VERY quick Google search for "how to install packages from repos on opensuse" gives you the commands.

Steps that I have followed:

1) Downloaded php version 7 and 5 from http://php.net/downloads.php
2) extracted files
3) ./configure
4) make clean
5) make && make install

I get error as below :

Also, I tried downloading some rpm from link, but it didn't work:

Guys need some help in this case

you are going in circles:
there's the answer to your question.
so why:
???

...and, not long later
First, we volunteer our time here. If you want someone to hurry up and help you, then PAY THEM. Use SuSE enterprise, RHEL, or any other commercial Linux distro, can call them with your 'urgent' questions.

And either you are not understanding the answers, or you're just ignoring them. You're not answering questions, and what your posting doesn't make sense. Things we don't know, and you still haven't said:

• Why are you installing from source??
• Why do you **NEED** this version of PHP, versus the one on your system and/or available in the repos.
• Why you didn't install PHP from the repos?
• What version of SuSE are you using?

You say things like "downloading some rpm and it didn't work"....what, exactly, do you mean by "it didn't work"??? How about an actual error message? You asked, specifically, for a command to use the repositories to install PHP, and (even though you did ZERO research or make any effort to find this easily-found answer), you were given the exact command. And you're still asking.

Since you provide no details and won't answer questions, read the man page on the zypper command. You can then figure out how to search and install packages from there. And from the 'some link' you provided, you're using SLES 12, which you need to be PAYING FOR...since you're paying for it, call SuSE support if you need that 'urgent' help.
