I just finished a package for PHP5. It seems to work OK on my machine so I'd like to hear how it works for others.

The software is installed into /usr/local/php5.

The activation script should change any previous reference to /usr/local/php in the /etc/httpd/httpd.conf file to the new location. Let me know how well that works. It should be possible to switch back to PHP 4 by changing /usr/local/php5 back to /usr/local/php in the conf file.

The package is at

http://www2.entropy.ch/download/Entropy-PHP-5.0.0-12.dmg

[Note: This package was broken, the new version can be found here: http://www.entropy.ch/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1446 ]

Hallo Marc!

I tried to install your PHP5 Package today on my Mac (all Software Updates installed, works fine with your PHP4 package; I did not install any additional UNIX stuff besides MySQL)

However, the problem begins at the installation procedure - the postflight script fails with these errors in the Log:
“Cannot load /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so into server: (reason unknown)”
“Unable to verify that the Apache webserver is running correctly with the new module...”

I tried to activate it manually in HTTP.conf ‘apachectl configtest’ yields this very same error:
“Cannot load /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so into server: (reason unknown)”

If I change it back to php4, everything works great.

I hope this problem can be resolved

Hi Marc,

I'm experiencing problems - the package stopped with the message 'there were errors during the installation, please try installing again'.

G5 (10.3.4, PHP 4.3.2, Apache 1.3.29)

Phil, you seem to have the same problem as me - my Installer said the same.
So it is not a problem with my setup.

Hmm... Is this on OS X Server or Client? Have any and all security and other software updates been applied?

Can anyone with this problem give me an ssh login to an affected machine?

If so, send me a private mail with

- username
- password
- hostname

The account must have admin rights

For what it's worth, I didn't have a bit of trouble. As have all of Marc's packages, this installed and ran flawlessly for me.

I'm running 10.3.4, with not much else in the way of other Unixy stuff installed except for MySQL.

Thanks, Marc!

The install ran perfectly for me too. No problems at all. Thanks for all your work. Now if I can just get PHPMVC working with PHP5. I think the XML functionality broke. Having issues with PEAR Pager as well. Anyone else having issues with their apps? Maybe we could devote a forum to that? Rolling Eyes

It doesnt work for me, here's my install log:

Somebody mentioned that the install started working as soon as MySQL was installed onto the machine.

Can anyone confirm this? Do the machines on which the install runs correctly have MySQL installed? Don't the machines on which it fails?

I have installed PHP 5 on my machine (Mac OS 10.3.4) which has MySQL installed (version 4.0.20) and didn't have any problems. I haven't had much of a chance to have a play with it, but checked some scripts and they seem to work OK. phpinfo reports version 5.0.0. I haven't checked yet, but could anyone tell me if SOAP support is included in this package?

The module was built with xmlrpc-epi support (http://xmlrpc-epi.sourceforge.net/). That in turn seems to support SOAP. I don't know if that is also accessible via the PHP wrapper.

Marc,

I've just tried installing the PHP5 package on a machine without MySQL installed (still 10.3.4 with bundled Apache) and the installer failed. Seems you're right in that you need MySQL installed for this package to work.

I tried a script with "SoapClient" in that I know works on a Windows XP machine with PHP5 and the php_soap.dll extension activated and all I get is a blank page on my other Mac with PHP5 installed. Not even a PHP error message. Machine will load other pages with PHP scripts in OK.

Hmm. I have MySQL 4.0.18 and the installer quits on me -

"There were errors during installation. Please try installing again."

I have a pretty standard OS X client machine - OS X 10.3.4, PHP 4.3.2, Apache 1.3.29. I also have Tomcat and the Java Services Developer Pack installed, if you think that might cause a problem...
