Redhat 7.2 I try to use the php-mysql rpm but i get this error...

Ideal

Hey guys, im currently running MYSQL PRO 4.0.4 and PHP 4.1.2 I installed all the client and header/lib packages for MYSQL. When i run the rpm install for the php-mysql rpm I get

error: failed dependencies:
libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by php-mysql-4.1.2-7.2.4

Im not sure what to do. Apache and PHP worked automatically, I think it is set to load the php module though...im not sure....

Please guys, help would be grately appreciated....

Did you make sure that the php-mysql RPM is compatible with the BETA MySQL 4.0? All the searches for libmysqlclient.so.10 come up with the 3.23 SERVER packages.

If you did and it is:

That DSO is supplied by the SERVER RPM. You'll need to install the server package, not just the client and header/lib packages. BTW, the header/lib packages are only nessesary if you are going to develop client programs for MySQL, NOT if your developing using PHP.

well, im thinking its not compatible. How can I enable that version of PHP to work with the new version of MYSQL, where can I add a line to make them interact?
You know what I mean

I am also running redhat 7.2. Is there any particular reason you want to use "php-mysql-4.1.2-7.2.4" rather than compile 4.2.3 from source?

Ideal

actually, no there isnt, should i just download 4.2.3 and compile it from source? or is there a rpm available for 4.2.3, and if so, will it just work with mysql or will i have to enable something somewhere to make it work?

Im not to great on the commands to compile from source

It's easy:

Do all this as a regular user, not root (yet).

Download PHP from: http://www.php.net/downloads.php. Get the tar.gz version.
type (without quotes): "tar zxvf php-4.2.3.tar.gz"
cd into the php-4.2.3 directory.
If apache 2.0:
Type: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs
if apache 1.x
Type: ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs=/path/to/apache/bin/apxs
Type: make
su to root.
Type: make install

Add the following lines to you httpd.conf:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

Make sure this line is in there under "Dynamic Shared Object (DSO) Support":
LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

restart apache.

That's it. Let us know how it turns out.

I started doing at as root following a FAQ but it didnt finish because I didnt know where apache is located, it was a rpm.

So im just gonna download the newer version of apache and see

-Ideal

Ideal

well i downloached apache, or httpd 2.0.43 and i did this command

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache

then i did what you said with the php until...
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs
filling in the path/to with /usr/local/

when i did that it said
configure: error: --with: invalid option;

so then i tried:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apache=usr/bin/apache --enable-track-vars

but it said cannot locate httpd.h in the /usr/bin folder

So now im stuck, any help would be apreciated

When you ran configure for apache, did you run 'make' and then 'make install' (run 'make install' as root)?

Also, when you ran configure for PHP, you did: --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs. Your path to apache is /usr/local/apache since you ran your apache configure with --prefix=/usr/local/apache. so you should use --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs.

That should work.

Ideal

no, i didnt run make
and them make install

i get the feeling i have to do that
ill go ahead and do that right now.

As root.

-Ideal

Ideal

this is what I get now
Sorry, I cannot run apxs. Possible reasons follow:

Perl is not installed
apxs was not found. Try to pass the path using --wi
th-apxs2=/path/to/apxs
Apache was not built using --enable-so (the apxs us
age page is displayed)

The output of /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs/ follows:
./configure: /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs/: Not a direct
ory
configure: error: Aborting

I dont think I installed apache with --enable-so should i recompile with that added? Do i kneed to de-install apache, if so, how?

my head hurts
heh.

Thanks

Don't recompile apache.

If apache is installed in /usr/local/apache, configure should be run as:

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache/bin

Do not include apxs in the path.

Ideal

I got the same error, hmm, my brain is starting to fry
heh.

I told you "Do not include apxs in the path". I was wrong. Just ran it myself like this and it worked:

./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

Sorry about that!

access9

edit due to duplicate post

Ideal

yeah, i tried that and it worked
perfectly

but, theres somethign at the top of the screen that says

--with-mysql=/path/to

after the config was completed.
so i tried running the ./configure with that added

but i thought it was kept uner /usr/bin/ but i just the get the error

Cannot Find header files under /usr/bin/

unsure what to do, what did you do?

access9

Do you have mysql installed and running (you need the server and client packages installed)?

Ideal

yeah its installed, and running from what i see, i did

Service Mysql start

"a mysqld process already exists"

access9

then just run configure as ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs

If you get no errors at the end of the configure, then your good to go.

Ideal

now i knever uninstalled the old rpm install of apache and the old rpm install of php, should i worry about those to? or is there something I must do?
