Error compilling PHP 4.x on Apple OS 10.3 Panther

acabrera86

I'm trying to install php on the new version of Apple OS X 10.3. A quick run of php -v shows the following

sh-2.05b# php -v
PHP 4.3.2 (cli) (built: Sep 13 2003 22:04:20)
Copyright (c) 1997-2003 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2003 Zend Technologies

but running a phpinfo() shows that no mysql support was compiled. Well, being that I had just finished comiling and installing mysql 4.0.15a to /usr/local/mysql for local web development I decided to grab the latest php source and compile.

sh-2.05b# curl -O [url]http://us2.php.net/distributions/php-4.3.3.tar.gz[/url]
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed          Time             Curr.
                                 Dload  Upload Total    Current  Left    Speed
100 4458k  100 4458k    0     0   140k      0  0:00:31  0:00:31  0:00:00  147k
sh-2.05b# tar zxvf php-4.3.3.tar.gz
sh-2.05b# cd php-4.3.3.tar.gz
sh-2.05b# ./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-apxs --with-xml --with-zlib

Configure then runs with no errors. I installed zlib before the default install path.

then comes "make"

sh-2.05b# make

and just like that poof any hopes of having a nice mobile cross-platform development enviroment are dashed like so many other hopes I've had in life.

to which I proceeded to take off my shoe, yell "motherf*****", and throw said shoe at the wall scaring the crap out of my dog.

So what do I do now? I've googled, recompiled, reconfigured, tried snapshots, tried php5 beta and nothing will get me up and running. What do I do?

Upgrading to Panther also "broke" my nicely working Apache/PHP testing server. It displays html pages but just spits out the php code for php pages instead of compiling it.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Open /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf in your text editor. Then make sure the php module has been loaded by Apache: search httpd.conf for "LoadModule php4_module " and "AddModule mod_php4.c". If they have "#" in front of them, remove it. Also, look to see if you have these two lines. If not, add them where you find other AddType configurations: "AddType application/x-httpd-php .php" and AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps". Save http.conf, go to Apple System Preferences, open Sharing, turn off Web Sharing and then turn it back on. That should do it. If it doesn't, check this out Kevin Hemenway's Apache/PHP tutorial at O'Reilly www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/01/04/apache_macosx_pt3.html

Thanks, but I tried that. It worked in Jaguar, but it doesn't work in Panther... Maybe it is something with the PHP module that comes built in.

I fixed my problem.
I guess Panther reads the httpd.conf files a little differently than Jaguar. I had 2 httpd.conf files in 2 different directories - the Jaguar default read one while Pather read the other. I just copied my lastest httpd.conf file (with the php modules) into both locations - now it works.

I'm having the same problem. Except I am just trying to reinstall php 4.3.2 with mysql support. If anybody can help.

I'm getting the same error:

I'm think T_MX, T_A and all the other constants reported are used by dns name resolution. It's just matter of include the correct header files. In Mac OS X al the includes required for name resolution are:

 #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <netinet/in.h>
   #include <arpa/nameser.h>
   #include <resolv.h>

I'm including these files on php-4.3.3/ext/standard/dns.c right now but still does not work 🙁

Somebody that really knows C please heeeelppp meeee!!!!

I have added some lines on /php-4.3.3/ext/standard/dns.c:

After the line '#include "php.h"', add:

#if APPLE
#define BIND_8_COMPAT 1
#include <nameser8_compat.h>
#endif

The error is a consecuence of BIND9, these includes set compatibility mode.

That fixed it...

Thanks!
