help installing PHP4.3.0 on RH8 (tempnum error)

obz

Hello...

I'm trying to install PHP4.3.0 on Redhat8 I386.... Nothing too strange.... When I try and Make the installation files i get:
ext/mysql/libmysql/my_tempnam.lo: In function `my_tempnam':

/php-4.3.0/php-4.3.0/ext/mysql/libmysql/my_tempnam.c:103: the use of tempnam' is dangerous, better usemkstemp'

🙁

I was told it may have something to do with mysql??

my config is ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs2

Any help would be greatly appreciated... I'm trying to get my website back up and it needs PHP..

thanks

try this in your source directory.

first run make distclean to remove everything

then:

./configure --with-all-of-your-options
make distclean
make install

obz

Hmm... thanks for the suggestion, but it is still crapping out at the same spot...

Strange... I d\led all the current releases for apache, php and mysql...

GRR..😕

I'm having the same problem. This guy apparently got it to compile and he lists all his options. I'm about to try it and I'll tell you how it goes.

Nothsa

ok, got it.

There seems to be a problem with using the internal MySQL config, so you need to get it from an external source. Here's what I did:

First thing I did was "make clean", "make distclean" in the PHP directory (I first tried compiling without doing "make clean" and "make distclean" and it didn't work). I then downloaded the latest source from mysql.com and decompressed it into /usr/src/mysql-3.23.54a-pc-linux-i686

My PHP configuration looked like this:

./configure
--with-apache=/usr/src/apache-1.3.27
--with-config-file-path=/wwwroot/php
--with-mysql=/usr/src/mysql-3.23.54a-pc-linux-i686
--with-pear
--with-xml
--enable-bcmath
--enable-calendar
--enable-ftp
--enable-magic-quotes
--enable-sockets
--enable-track-vars

(/wwwroot is the directory where I install apache, which I then compiled with ./configure --prefix=/wwwroot --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a --enable-module=so)

You should be able to enter anything you want in your PHP config, just make sure that "--with-mysql" has the "=[/path/to/mysql]" on the end of it.

Thanks!

I however tried something from:

www.apachetoolbox.com it compiled everything... php works now... but mysql doesn't.. heh... I'll jot down your config however. what a bugger it was..

Cheers

Shyte... my mysql isn't working either...

back to the drawing board =P

Nothsa

Doh!! The reason the MySQL "wasn't working" was because I specified a new mysql installation, instead of my existing one, so none of my user information was there =P. Here's what I did to get EVERYTHING working:

Made a directory called /usr/local/mysql, and then inside that directory I made symbolic links to my current MySQL directories "include" and "lib" (mine were located at /usr/include/mysql/ and /usr/lib/mysql). I also linked my current "mysql.sock" file, which was in /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock for me.

I then compiled PHP with these options:

./configure
--with-apache=/usr/src/apache_1.3.27/
--with-config-file-path=/wwwroot/php
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
--with-pear
--with-xml
--enable-bcmath
--enable-calendar
--enable-ftp
--enable-magic-quotes
--enable-sockets
--enable-track-vars
--with-mysql-sock=/usr/local/mysql.sock

(NOTE THE FINAL OPTION... "--with-mysql-sock"... you need to specify the location of your current mysql.sock file)

Everything seems to be OK.. I tried a complete server restart without any probs. Hope this helps you =)

I just want to note that the problem reported in this thread, is also encountered in Suse Linux 8 and 8.1. Unfortunately, i have not found any solution yet. I keep on wondering if the people at the php development group are aware of this.

Nothsa

Protocol, did you try compiling mysql from an external source?

Protocol

I have no experience in compiling mysql. I tried to, following some tutorials, but things went wrong.

Do you know where can i find the files that are required according to the instructions you provided in previous postings? Remember, that my distro installs MySql by itself.

Nothsa

I mean trying to compile PHP without using it's internal MySQL libraries, but instead, using external ones as I explained in the post just before your first one.

Once I did that I didn't have any more problems.

Protocol

I understood that, however what i asked is, where can i locate these sources, if they are already installed on the system?

Nothsa

Sorry, I skimmed through your msg :rolleyes:

Do a "find -name mysql.h", and that'll be where your 'include' directory is, and then do a "find -name libmysqlclient.a" and that'll be your 'lib' directory. Last thing is a "find -name mysql.sock" and it should find the location of that file.

Make sure you're in the "/" directory when you execute these.

<edit>
Hmm.... I forgot to add, if you installed from RPMs you might not have these files. In that case, you can download them from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-3.23.html. I believe you need the "Libraries and header files" AND "Dynamic client libraries".
</edit>

Protocol

All the files you mentioned are actually installed on my system (on various locations). I tried all these locations when trying to compile php (--with-mysql=<some location>, yet 'configure' fails to complete.

The Suse distribution does not install the sources by default, so i only have an already compiled MySql.

It turns out that the following configuration line, works !!!

./configure --with-apxs=/www/bin/apxs --enable-track-vars --with-mysql=/usr/ --with-pgsql --enable-ftp --enable-magic-quotes --enable-safe-mode --with-gd --with-zlib

So, i guess that all Suse lovers out there, should go for it.

🙂

Nothsa

cool... glad to hear it's working =)
