 Posted: Wed Jul 20, 2005 2:55 pm Post subject: Which php install is in use? |
 |
|
Portage does not seem to contain the version of php5.0.4 that I want so I have compiled it from scratch. No problem. The issue comes that when I execute my info.php to see what is installed, it points to /usr/local/php. But the trouble is, there is no directory there!
There is also no php directory under /etc as I removed it. My php pages are still being served but Apache is very slow serving phph pages rihgt now. The trouble is that I do not know from where php is currently operating as both the /etc/php and the /usr/local/php directory's have been moved. Any clues?
This is what I compiled php with:
| Code: | | ./configure' '--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2' '--with-mysql' '--prefix=/usr/local/php' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--disable-cgi' '--with-zlib' '--with-gettext' '--with-gdbm' |
Where is php getting it configuration from? (php.ini). Even slocate php.ini only brings up from the original source directory. Would it be better if I could have emerged it? |

yeah, emerge it before saying you're having problems with it. Also try updatedb before slocating

| Well forgive my obvious ignorance, but what else do you do to lift the masked items? |

thats cool, we all have to learn these things about Gentoo, its what makes the distro different.
To unmask a hardmasked package you have to add it to /etc/portage/package.unmask, to unmask a keyworded package you add it to package.keywords etc and so-on. have a look here, here and here.

| Thanks for that. Only issue is that even though I have placed dev-php/php ~x86 within both the keywords and unmask files, php still only makes v4.4.0 available and not v5.0.4. |

i asked the head php dev and he said its experimental and being tested at the moment. It isn't suitable for usage yet.
Sorry mate.

| What v5.0.4? I have been using this for some three months without any issue until now. But in all honesty, how can I decide if it is PHP or Apache that is the problem? |

to check which packages are available
| Code: | | etcat -v <package name> |
example
| Code: | etcat -v php
[ Results for search key : php ]
[ Candidate applications found : 4 ]
Only printing found installed programs.
* dev-php/php :
[ ] 4.3.11 (0)
[ I] 4.4.0 (0)
[M~ ] 5.0.4-r1 (0)
[M~ ] 5.1.0_beta-r2 (0) |
the ~ means the packages is masked by a keyword, the M means the package is hard masked. To unmask the package you need to explicitly set the version.
| Code: | | echo =dev-php/php-5.0.4-r1 >> /etc/portage/package.unmask |
If you want mod_php you will need to repeat for that package also
| Code: | | echo =dev-php/mod_php-5.0.4 >> /etc/portage/package.unmask |
Then just emerge php mod_php, you may find that they depend on masked versions of other packages in which case you will need to unmask those. |
