PHP-IMAP Installtion problem

[Anon]

Hi,
I have justed started using php for development of a website. It has been compiled with apache 1.3.14, php4 and ssl support. The question is, i need the imap support for php but just could n't get it to work.

Please enlighten me on how to install the php-imap support right from the BEGINNING.

I have installed the IMAP daemon downloaded from Redhat.

Thanks in advance.

Which Red Hat are you using?

Hi,
I'm currently using RedHat version 7.0. The IMAP daemon that I have installed is the rpm downloaded from the redhat ftp site (imap-4.7c2-12.i386.rpm).

PHP version used is 4.0.4pl1.
Apache version 1.3.14 with SSL compiled.

I need to compile the Apache with SSL and PHP, PHP-IMAP as static modules.

I tried using the rpm version of the PHP-IMAP but is unable to install it as the PHP I installed is compiled from source and not installed from rpm.

Thanks.

First of all: Why compile everything yourself and all statically? Struggling with compilation is not going to make you a better PHP web developer. And the lack of modularity will make your system inflexible. Red Hat 7's apache + mod_ssl + php-imap packages should easily do the job for you.

Now, if you really want to do it:

What goes wrong when you try to compile PHP with IMAP client support?

Consider at least installing the imap software as packages. At http://rpms.arvin.dk/imap-no_kerberos/ there is an "imap-devel" package which is handy while compiling PHP with imap-support.
Then add these flags when compiling PHP:
--with-imap --with-imap-ssl

When the PHP compilation is over, then the "imap-devel" package may be un-installed.

Hi,
there isn't any errors during the compilation. I downloaded the source from the following site:

ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/imap/
(c-client.tar.gz)

I compiled everything successfully using ./configure --with-imap in the PHP configuration script, afer which I installed the apache.

When testing the page, it produces an error mesage: Fatal error: Call to undefined function imap_mail

Is there anything I need to change to the php.ini file? I stored it the /etc/httpd/conf.

What else contributes to this failure?
Is it the installation or the configuration?

Hi,
I forgot to ask where to find this package that you recommend:

Red Hat 7's apache + mod_ssl + php-imap

I searched through Redhat's download site and ftp site but just can't seem to find it. I will be grateful if you can supply me the link.

If it's too troublesome for you to reply to threads, you may mail me directly at [e-mail]

As mentioned in my last message, you may get an "imap-devel" package which makes it easier to compile PHP with IMAP-support:

http://rpms.arvin.dk/imap-no_kerberos/

The --with-imap and --with-imap-ssl configure options are need when you compile PHP (if you insist on compiling PHP yourself).

How do I use this package?

Can you provide me with the command to compile the php?

Hi,
I plan to do a reinstallation of my webserver as well as the php and php-imap. In your opinion, what is the best way?

I'm planning to do the following:
1) Compile apache with ssl support from source.

2) install the php package using
php-4.0.4pl1-6-i386.rpm downloaded from rpmfind.net (http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=php)
details can be found here (http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386//RedHat/RPMS//php-4.0.4pl1-6.i386.html)

3) install the php-imap package using
php-imap-4.0.4pl1-6-i386.rpm downloaded from rpmfind.net (http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=php-imap&submit=Search+...)
details can be found here
(http://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386//RedHat/RPMS//php-imap-4.0.4pl1-6.i386.html)

Please do guide me along as to how to install and configure these successfully in order for it to work.

Thank you.

Why don't you just use Red Hat 7's nice apache and mod_ssl packages plus Red Hat 7's updated PHP packages?
