[Guest Lethe]

/*first of all sorry my english :mellow: */

 

Hi,

 

i'm using mandriva 2006, and i tried some php scripts on my local host..

 

when i tried to install invision power board i get some error like that

 

 Warning!  The following errors must be rectified before continuing!

·You cannot install Invision Power Board. IPB requires that the XML functions in PHP are enabled, please ask your host to enable XML.

How can i install xml..? unsure.gif

 

And i wanna upgrade my Php version PHP4 to PHP5, what can i do..

 

Just do this:

 

urpmi php-xml

 

that will install the php5 version. The best thing to do next is this:

 

rpm -qa | grep php

 

will list all packages with php installed. Make a note of the version 4 packages, and then do this command:

 

urpmf --name php

 

this command will list all php packages available, including php5. If you don't get any, make sure you visited the easyurpmi link at the top of this page, and have added main, contrib, updates, plf-free and plf-nonfree for all possible packages. Then do the above command again, and just install the ones you need using:

 

urpmi packagename

 

Here is an example I used for finding your xml package:

 

[ian@europa ~]$ urpmf --name php | grep xml
php-xml:php-xml-5.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm
php-xmlrpc:php-xmlrpc-5.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm
php-domxml:php-domxml-20030407-2mdk.i586.rpm
php-simplexml:php-simplexml-5.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm
php-pear-XML_sql2xml:php-pear-XML_sql2xml-0.3.2-6mdk.noarch.rpm
php4-xml:php4-xml-4.4.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
php4-domxml:php4-domxml-4.4.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
php4-xmlrpc:php4-xmlrpc-4.4.0-1mdk.i586.rpm

 

this command filtered all php packages for ones containing xml. So you see from the names, that the first part is separated with a colon ( : ) and then you see the full package name. You just need the first part, so for example:

 

urpmi php-xml

 

as mentioned before. Or php4-xml if you wanted version 4.

 

If index.php isn't working, then you need to do this:

 

[ian@europa ~]$ urpmf --name mod | grep php
apache-mod_php:apache-mod_php-2.0.54_5.0.4-4mdk.i586.rpm
apache-mod_php:apache-mod_php-2.0.54_5.0.4-4mdk.i586.rpm
apache-mod_php4:apache-mod_php4-2.0.54_4.4.0-2mdk.i586.rpm
apache-mod_suphp:apache-mod_suphp-2.0.54_0.5.2-2mdk.i586.rpm
apache1-mod_php4:apache1-mod_php4-1.3.33_4.3.11-1mdk.i586.rpm
apache1-mod_php5:apache1-mod_php5-1.3.33_5.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm
emacs-php-mode:emacs-php-mode-102-6mdk.noarch.rpm

 

chances are a simple:

 

urpmi mod-php

 

will do the trick for php5 mod to apache to get it working. Restart the apache/httpd service for changes to take effect.

If some pages are viewable, and some others are not, it may be a permissions issue. See if either the 'apache' user or the 'apache' group has 'read' permission on the files you can't view.

Maybe you need a php-mysql package as well:

 

[ian@europa ~]$ urpmf --name php | grep mysql
php-mysql:php-mysql-5.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm
php-mysql:php-mysql-5.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm
php-mysqli:php-mysqli-5.0.4-1mdk.i586.rpm
php4-mysql:php4-mysql-4.4.0-1mdk.i586.rpm
phpmyvisites:phpmyvisites-1.3.2-1mdk.noarch.rpm

 

check and install from this list. Remember, the commands I've listed here, it will help you to solve your own problems too ;)

[root@localhost /]# urpmf --name php | grep mysql
php-mysql:php-mysql-5.0.4-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
php-mysql:php-mysql-5.0.4-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
php-mysqli:php-mysqli-5.0.4-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
php4-mysql:php4-mysql-4.4.0-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
[root@localhost /]# urpmi php-mysql
The package(s) are already installed
[root@localhost /]#

 

:huh:

something is incorrect with either the SQL config in your IPB install or with the configuration of your SQL Server - they aren't matching up (username, password, database name?), double check them.

[root@localhost /]# urpmf --name php | grep mysql
php-mysql:php-mysql-5.0.4-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
php-mysql:php-mysql-5.0.4-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
php-mysqli:php-mysqli-5.0.4-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
php4-mysql:php4-mysql-4.4.0-1mdk.x86_64.rpm
[root@localhost /]# urpmi php-mysql
The package(s) are already installed
[root@localhost /]#

 

:huh:

 

Firstly, from my previous post, this shows what packages are available to install. To show what is installed on your system, do:

 

rpm -qa | grep php

 

will list all php installed packages. You can then see if php-mysql is installed or not.

 

If you want to remove databases, you need to do:

 

 mysql -u root -p (enter password when prompted)
drop database dbname

 

replace dbname with the name of the database, do all this for any added. You can use:

 

show databases;

 

to see what databases are created. Then you can just do:

 

urpme MySQL

 

to get rid of mysql, it's case sensitive so type as above. Maybe also do:

 

rpm -qa | grep mysql

 

to see other packages installed, and:

 

rpm -qa | grep MySQL

 

as both are case-sensitive.

 

Remember, urpmf is for seeing what packages are available for install, and rpm -qa for packages you want to see you have got installed.
