PHP and RedHat 7.2 Install

[gwinn7]

If you are trying to configure PHP (from source) with Apache and PostgreSQL on RedHat 7.2 and are having trouble, here is what seems to work consistently...

1. Install Postgres and Apache from RPM.
2. Install PHP from source as a DSO.
3. Done. You may need to check your httpd.conf file.

After thought...
I am not sure why, perhaps someone could add some information as to why is it when we install Apache from source, PHP (from source as a DSO) does not install properly.

I will continue to check the documentation and post if I find anything.

Actually, I compiled PostgreSQL, Apache and PHP from source just 3 days ago on my RedHat 7.3 system. It works just fine for me. //Daniel

Great! I wish I had the same fortune!

What was your install procedure, step-by-step?

The only thing I can think of that might be your problem is how you configured Apache. Did you add --enable-module=so? Without it you don't have any DSO support. If that won't work, I'll post how I did it. //Daniel

Well, I did more than that actually. Here is what I used...

./configure --enable-module=most --enable-shared=max

According to the docs, this should enable just about everything, including DSO support.
