I'm trying to setup a new PHP network monitor on our servers, and I've just finished upgrading to PHP 5.1.4. After upgrading and installing, everything is working fine, except when I go to run PHP from the console I'm recieving:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/interbase.so' - libfbclient.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0.

no PHP IS running fine, I can create a .php document and check it in a browser and everything is fine. phpinfo.php shows no conflicts either. Here is a list of all the libraries this references in the error (several appear when I type # php

libfbclient.so
libldap-2.3.so
libodbc.so
libpq.so
libsqlite3.so
libsqlite.so

I've run updatedb after in PHP 5 upgrade and it still doesn't find these libraries.

Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Distro is Slackware 10.2 btw.

I wonder just how you upgraded your PHP. It seems to suffer from a dependency problem (interbase which it cannot find) which leads me to conclude you just grabbed a PHP5 package from somewhere (linuxpackages.net?) and installed that.
Many 3rd party Slackware packages have hidden dependencies because their packager built the package on a non-fresh Slackware system full of software that does not belong to a default Slackware install.

I guess if you look inside /etc/apache/php.ini that you will find a line looking like:
"extension = interbase.so"
PHP will work even if it finds extension libraries mentioned in php.ini that it cannot load or locate. But to get rid of the error message, you can comment this line for interbase.so out by placing a ';' in front of it.

What is it out of interest?

Bartlby Network Monitor (http://www.bartlby.org/xoops/)
I'd really like to use this one, one of the better ones I've found, especially for alert messaging.

If anyone has anything they use that's better I would really appreciate it. I like the idea of it keeping database, and having it be completely customizable via a PHP / XML interface. And that it supports multi platform machines (this is of course a mixed windows and *nix network I work in)

I'd like to be able to just monitor system resources, and network traffic to isolate any issues on the network, and to be alerted when a machine is failing or has failed via SMS or Instant Messaging.

I will also comment out those lines. Thanks!

But any recommendations on a good (and FREE) network monitor would be appreciated as well.

thanks I will try that.

Nagios perhaps> http://www.nagios.org/

also just for the sake of information:

I've gotten through the configuration and installation of Bartlby, and when I go to start it, I'm getting:

/dev/stdout: Permission Denied

Not even sure why in the word it would need to use stdout but that's what I'm getting.

perhaps? Does that mean your not sure? Have you ever used it? I'll give it a shot of course. Thanks. :-)

Yes I have used it, the organisation I work for is using it extensively. It is very customizable and has many contributed plugins. Worth checking out.
The "perhaps" was just used to flag my post as a hint.

Eric

heheh ah gotcha. ;-)

Commenting out those lines worked perfectly. Thanks alot.

I will give Nagios a try. I really appreciate your help.
