Days in trying to get Php5 working? Help needed

[Guest keithc71]

Hey all i'm at a loss here. I have battled and battled in trying to get apache 2.2/mysql5/php5 all working together. I have successfuly installed apache 2.2 and I belive mysql 5 but when I try to tie in php I am now getting this. Anyone help me out here? I could really use it. Thanks

 

[root@Linux php5]# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/wwwroot/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --with-zlib-dir=</usr/local> --with-zlib-dir=configure --without-http-zlib-compression   --enable-magic-quotes
configure: warning: You will need re2c 0.9.11 or later if you want to regenerate PHP parsers.
configure: error: mysql configure failed. Please check config.log for more information.

please post the config.log from the directory you're compiling it in. the problem that's keeping you from getting a successful compile is:

configure: error: mysql configure failed. Please check config.log for more information.

but obviously there isn't enough info there to determine what exactly is wrong :)

 

The warning about re2c won't cause the compile to fail.

 

Question: Do you need the latest and greatest PHP? I know PHP, MySQL and Apache are all available via the various repositories and can be installe from the Mandriva Control Center (aka "Configure Your Computer) with the software installer.

I went through Mandriva's Perfect setup procedure and Installed ISPConfig etc The problem was that I dont need all that. All I want is a lamp server and I decided to rewipe the box and start from scratch using newest source files for apache/mysql/php. Anyways I am working through a book which says to do it this way due to lack of options when using the default packages that come with the distro. I wanted to post the config.log but it is a huge file. I was reading that I may not have the mysql libraries installed and I looked for libraries for my version of mysql which is 5 and I can't seem to find them. Very lost here

Hi, I think I found out why It would not compile and it is crazy how long it took me to try this or find out this may be a bug.

 

/configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5 --with-apxs2=/wwwroot/bin/apxs --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql --enable-magic-quotes

This was the line that was failing

 

I changed --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql to --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql

 

This change seems to have fixed it.
