Hi, I would like to use Ming with php5, and I have some problems... I installed the debian packages: ii php5-ming 5.2.0-0.dotdeb Ming module for php5 ii libming 0.3-0.dotdeb.0 Library to generate SWF (Flash) Files in my php.in I have: extension=ming.so (done at the intallation of php5_ming) when I restart apache2 I get: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613/ming.so' - libming.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 and the libraries are here : ls -al /usr/lib/php5/20060613/*ming.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1003279 2006-11-06 18:11 /usr/lib/php5/20060613/libming.so -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 99036 2006-11-04 00:06 /usr/lib/php5/20060613/ming.so I have seen this error in a few messages on the web, but I didn't find the answer... I was wondering is there was a problem with the package but I have seen in the tutorial "Running Apache2 With PHP5 And PHP4 At The Same Time" that there is an installation of php5_ming, so I suppose I shoud work... It is the first time that I have this kind of problem with a php5 package. I am trying to sort it out since yesterday morning but don't understand.... Thanks very much in advance for any idea ... Lao
..and I tried this as well... PHP5 is installed as a module of apache2 anyway I saw this page http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3328&page=2 so I did apt-file search ming.so apache-common: usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_roaming.so ethereal-common: usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.10.10/cosnaming.so liborbit-dev: usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming.so liborbit0: usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming.so.0 liborbit0: usr/lib/libORBitCosNaming.so.0.5.17 libtao-orbsvcs-dev: usr/lib/libTAO_CosNaming.so libtao-orbsvcs1.4: usr/lib/libTAO_CosNaming.so.1.4.2 neverdata: usr/share/games/neverdata/map-putt/17_timing.sol python2.1: usr/lib/python2.1/lib-dynload/timing.so python2.2: usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/timing.so python2.3: usr/lib/python2.3/lib-dynload/timing.so python2.4: usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/timing.so python2.4-dbg: usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/timing.so python2.4-dbg: usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/debug/timing.so simgear-dev: usr/lib/libsgtiming.so simgear0: usr/lib/libsgtiming.so.0 simgear0: usr/lib/libsgtiming.so.0.3.7 so no ming.so: is this information relevant? and when I comment out extension=ming.so in php.ini the error disappears so I am using the right php.ini ...
...and... when I did apt-file update before apt-file search ming.so I got an error 404 for dotdeb so this is why the ming.so doesn't show I think (I have it in /usr/lib/php5/20060613/ anyway) OK I think this is all the information I have about my problem... Any suggestion would be most welcome, thanks in advance... PLao
Solution: This is a problem with a dotdeb package Once again I am answering my own message...sorry...but this one can be VERY usefull I think, I have seen so much messages about ming not working with php5... So if you want to use PHP5.2.0-0.dotdeb (and cie, maybe...) and Ming and you have this error: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613/ming.so' - libming.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 Then go to /usr/lib and look for libming.so* you will have something like lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2006-11-07 17:13 libming.so.0 -> libming.so.0.3beta1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 270224 2005-06-17 06:52 libming.so.0.3beta1 but not libming .so so just add the link: ln -s libming.so.0.3beta1 libming.so and it works..... ...2 days for that one....end of thread
