On the Extra CD from the Slackware 10.2 in the n directory I find a php directory containing:-
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 152 2002-03-03 08:06 doinst.sh.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 343 2003-11-13 23:43 mod_php.conf.example
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 2005-08-30 19:11 pear
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4086074 2005-07-11 12:07 php-4.4.0.tar.bz2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 619 2003-11-16 23:26 php.ini.diff.gz
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4717 2005-09-05 04:53 php.SlackBuild
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 834 2003-11-16 23:27 slack-desc

My first thought is to pack the whole lot into a bz2 and copy it to my server, which is fine and easy, but now what.
Do I need to unpack the php-4.4.0.tar.bz2 into a suitable directory, make the alterations I need, ie add --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql/ (this is where postgresSQL has been installed to) to the php.SlackBuild and run the php.SlackBuild in the same directory where I unpacked the php-4.4.0.tar.bz2 file?

You want all the files on any slack-box with the same
architecture. You DON'T need to unpack the bz2 file;
all you need to do is modify php.SlackBuild script to
reflect the presence of PostgreSQL.

Then you invoke that build using
sh php.SlackBuild
It will then create a directory in /tmp and also drop
the ready to deploy tgz there.

Cheers,
Tink

P.S.: You'll need to do this as root!

For some reason or other the above did not work.
I did all the above as well as installpkg using the new tgz in /tmp but I still get the old version of PHP when I browse to info.php on my server.
Yes I did a apachectl graceful before browsing?

Tinkster · 05-26-2006, 04:17 PM

That's bizarre, to say the least. Can you verify the time-
stamps on the installed php-stuff?

Cheers,
Tink

Note the following :-
which php
/usr/local/bin/php
ls -al /usr/local/bin/php
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7876571 2006-05-18 17:10 /usr/local/bin/php*

The abovementioned date should be, as far as I am concerned, 26th May, not 18th May as that is when I built the .tgz.
If I look into the created tgz I see:-
tar -tzvf /tmp/php-4.4.0-i486-4.tgz

Note no php. Is this correct?

Tinkster · 05-27-2006, 04:39 PM

OK - so you'll a) need to manually remove the php in /usr/local
and b) run the output of the slackbuild script into a file and
check for errors. There's definitely something gone bad in the
compilation process, and the error checking didn't pick it up.

sh php.SlackBuild 2>&1 | tee build.out

Cheers,
Tink

Tinkster · 05-28-2006, 03:31 AM

OK ... here's an update; it had been a while since I had last done that,
and I had forgotten that one needs to also get the source package for
pine to be able to compile php.

I just re-compiled it with pgsql support and mysql disabled.

[edit]
Something else I forgot - I had to actually also add
/usr/lib/php/extensions
to /etc/ld.so.conf to make the postgres connectivity work :)

Tink

stockton · 05-28-2006, 07:31 AM

Thank you. I have now included pine and did the sh php.SlackBuild 2>&1 | tee build.out that you suggested and I do not think that you want to see all of build.out but the parts that worry me are:-
While building php after building pine I see:-

checking whether to enable DBA... no
configure: error: DBA: Could not find necessary header file(s).
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

chmod: cannot access `/tmp/package-php/usr/bin/pear': No such file or directory

and

I'm starting to guess here, only, but it may be that you don't
have any of the Berkeley DBs installed... if you know you won't
need them you can probably disable them in the configure section
of your php.SlackBuild script, too.

Tink

Tinkster · 06-03-2006, 05:59 PM

And, did you get it resolved in the end? :)

Cheers,
Tink

stockton · 06-16-2006, 07:13 AM

No I did not and I got dragged off onto another project and therefore the lack of response from me, for which I apologize.

ivanrolim · 06-22-2006, 08:17 AM

I was very surprised on how things can be so simple.
I tried to compile php 5.1.4 (and 5.1.2) on SUSE LINUX 9.3 (10.0 and 10.1 can work now as well) with postgresql support. I worked hard but finally found the culprits.

There GOLDEN steps to follow:
1 - be sure to see whats your php directory. Be aware of installing two phps in the same system (you may erractically execute the wrong php installed, not with pgsql!) I removed all php RPMs first (from YAST) and then used the .tar.gz file which has APXS and other eye-candy possibilities (as well as the option to tune the system, like linux gurus do (-mtune, -cflags...)

2 - You will not use php rpm package. Right. But postgres can be of your SUSE RPms. HOWEVER A PRECIOUS FILE IS NEEDED! postgresql-devel-8.0.1-6.i586.rpm ! SUSE cds does not have it! Well, maybe the DVD has it, but hidden! Its not in 'zzz all' packages list! I had to see /tmp/php5.1.4/config.log, when executing ./configure and make.
The last line said:
configure:75101: checking for pg_config

As it CANT find this file (because of LACK of DEVEL PAckages) it WILL CRASH (make install '-k' error) something like that. And then create tons of headaches for day along because of postgresql-devel! Ive seen so many people, some with good linux background, going to MYSQL because of compile problems like that.

Thats why I always install ALL *-devel, *.libs, *.server, *.client, *.plugins files! It will has 100% of compatibility when compiling things with tar.gz files (not rpm ones)

Postgresql now can connect to the database via php execution! No more ' Fatal error: Call to undefined function pg_connect() in database.php on line 79 '

That was mildly entertaining, but how does it relate to his question? :}
