hey everyone. i'm currently trying to re-install php5 from source on a fedora core 4 box (yes i know old). reason i am doing this from source is that i need mssql support which isn't included in the rpm i had used before. i read that i needed to install freetds, so i downloaded the src and did the following commands... ./configure make make install everything went fine with that install. i didn't want to break any other packages that need php5 and that were currently using my rpm build of php5, so i used the configuation commands from the phpsysinfo output + the --with-mssql=/usr/src/freetds on my source install. when i attempt to ./configure the php5 source, i get the following error... Code: checking for MSSQL support via FreeTDS... yes configure: error: Could not find /usr/src/freetds/lib/libtds.a|so [root@localhost php-5.2.3]# find / -name freetds /usr/src/freetds any ideas? thanks.
I think --with-mssql=/usr/src/freetds is wrong (that the source directory, but you have already compiled and installed freetds). You must find out where freetds is installed (maybe /usr/lib or just /usr or something like that).
I used the --prefix and was able to install freetds where i wanted to, but now i'm getting a new error when trying to compile php5... My freetds dir is /usr/local/freetds My php5 source is /usr/local/src/php5 Code: configure: error: ODBC header file '/usr/include/sqlext.h' not found
Well I broke apache this afternoon and it took me about an hour to get it back up and running :/ What I'm wanting is php to have support for mssql and mysql. Can't I download modules for this? Why do I have to re-compile php5 ?
Is ODBC installed? I think you need to install the dev version of ODBC as well. Do you see something like that in the output of Code: yum search odbc ?
If this helps, heres all the modules I have installed... Code: [root@localhost src]# rpm -qa | grep php- php-devel-5.0.4-10.5 php-mysql-5.0.4-10.5 php-odbc-5.0.4-10.5 php-imap-5.0.4-10.5 php-5.0.4-10.5 php-ldap-5.0.4-10.5 php-gd-5.0.4-10.5 php-xml-5.0.4-10.5 php-xmlrpc-5.0.4-10.5 php-pear-5.0.4-10.5 So it looks like I should be able to connect to mysql databases as I have the module installed, but isn't there a php-mssql module?
I got php-mssql module install via yum. I was able to get a sample script running that connects to my mssql server. However I'm getting the following error that leads me to believe that the php-mssql module on my system still requires further configuring... Code: Call to undefined function mssql_connect()
Please check if the module is enabled in php.ini. If you have to modify php.ini, don't forget to restart Apache.
