Ubuntu + Apache 2.0 + PHP 5.2.1 - cannot use dynamic extensions (e.g. pdo.so!)

[feenster99]

Hi all,
I'm trying to compile PHP 5.2.1 on my Ubuntu 6.10 server. I've downloaded the source code from php.net and am running the following configure command on it:

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2 --with-mysql --with-informix=/opt/informix --enable-shared --enable-pdo=shared --without-sqlite --without-pdo-sqlite --with-pdo-mysql=shared --with-zlib --with-xml --with-pdo-informix=shared,/opt/informix

After doing this, then make, I copy over the generated libphp5.so file into my Apache extensions directory, add extension=pdo.so (and lines for the PDO-MySQL/Informix extensions) into my php.ini and restart Apache. I would expect to see PDO, PDO-MySQL and PDO-Informix listed in my phpinfo() - but they don't appear.

So, I tried recompiling PHP but without any of the PDO extensions being shared. This worked, and I could see PDO and PDO-MySQL in phpinfo(), but not PDO-Informix.

So, can anyone hazard a guess as to why none of the PDO extensions load when compiled shared? I don't get any related error messages in the Apache or System logs by the way....

Cheers,
Matt

Sorted!!!

Sorted! The process was this:

1) Download the PHP 5.2.1 source into a fresh folder
2) Run the following:

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2 --with-mysql --with-informix=/opt/informix --enable-shared --enable-pdo=shared --without-sqlite --without-pdo-sqlite --with-zlib --with-xml --with-pecl --with-pdo-mysql=shared --with-pdo-informix=shared,/opt/informix --with-config-file-path=/etc/php5/apache2

3) Ran "make" and "make install"
4) Altered /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini to this:

extension_dir=/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-zts-20060613

5) Added the following to php.ini:

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
extension=pdo_informix.so

6) Restarted Apache2

And they appear in PHPInfo();!!! This leaves me with another problem unfortunately. *.php files are just displaying as source code in the browser, except for:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Any ideas what could be causing this? I've enabled the PHP5 mod using "a2enmod php5", but to no joy. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Matt
