About building Apache and PHP from source

Hello,
I figured my question should be posted here, if it should be done somewhere else, I apologize.
I'm in the process of exploring solaris 9 (I have RH5 - 9, FC1-3 and FreeBSD 4.7> experience). I was wondering which tools I need to build stuff from source, like Apache and PHP. I am aware of www.sunfreeware.com, which helped me out with mc and other useful stuff.
The problem I see is that when I install packages from sunfreeware.com, I must rely on the package maintainer to release a new package for newer Apache/PHP versions (with bug/security fixes in it). I plan to run a public webserver on this config, so I figured it'd be best to build what I need from the source so I can update it anytime I like.
What I installed from sunfreeware.com:
autconf
automake
gcc
make
bison
expect
mc
libiconv
ncurses
flex
What else do I need to successfully build software from the source?
Are there any people running a public web/dns/mailserver on Solaris (whatever the version)?
If someone could answer to those questions, I'd be most grateful.
Bas

Have you installed the companion CD? All you need is there.
Have you tried to compile?
If so, what errors do you get?

Can I manage custom builds of Apache and PHP with Server Admin?

Okay, here's the deal: I have a shiny new Xserver Xeon with Leopard Server installed. I see that it comes with a number of programs that I'll need, preinstalled, but for various reasons (extensions and modules for PHP, Apache, and the like), I may need to roll my own builds of several of these programs and libraries. In this case, the main thing I'm concerned with is recompiling Apache and PHP.
My question is, can I do this and still manage those tools from Server Admin? I'm not averse to doing it on the command line if need be, but I'd just as soon not have to, if I have Server Admin. So, what would I need to do to make sure that I can still use Server Admin with a custom PHP and Apache?

My main interest is in using Wiki Server with the custom Apache and PHP builds. Since that's managed through Server Admin, I figured it would be best to try and integrate with the Apple tools.
Apache I could maybe get by without a rebuild, but there are definitely PHP modules I need which the default build does not come with.

Apache shows PHP files sources instead of running them.

I've installed MySQL, Apache and PHP. All the configuration mentioned in Arch WiKi for LAMP seems to be done. But instead of executing PHP scripts Apache shows their sources as plain text. What can cause such a problem?

I got the same problem, before I realize that by double clicking on my file opens it in firefox, but with
"file://......"
instead of
"http://localhost/...."
so the file was not interpreted by php.

Apache and PHP Security Scans

I am now required to keep up with the latest versions of Apache and PHP on my Xserves for security reasons. Is there an easy way to do this?

In order to keep up with security updates you'll have to install your own apache and php and stop using the ones that comes with Mac OS X (i think it is a good idea to do that anyway).
Fortunately there are tools out there that will help you.
I use macports, (http://macports.org) but if you decide to use it you will no longer be able to start, stop and control apache from the Server Admin interface. (there is actually a way to continue to do it but it will break at any system update you run).
If you are comfortable controlling the server with the command line you'll like it very much and at the end feel it is a great improvement over the apache/php that ships with OS X.
There is also Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/) but i have never used it so i can't say if it will work well or not and i'm sure it will also prevent you from using the Server Admin.
Good luck.

How to uninstall default Apache and PHP

I use Lion 10.8.2。Now i want to uninstall default Apache and PHP。But i don't how to do it . Because i want to use nginx and update php to 5.4 or new.
Than you very much.

2. If I want to retrieve information from the database
and display the information in the applet, what should
I do then ?
You would read the response given by the PHP side and parse it. How this is done depends on how PHP returns the data. It should preferrably be plain text or some other simple format, not HTML.
Another problem is, when I tried to send a HTTP request, I get an exception :
access denied ( java.net.SocketPermission "the host name") resolve
What is that and how do I solve the problem ?What applets are allowed to do is severly restricted because they are loaded and started by a web browser when a user visits a web page without consulting the user. You wouldn't like some site delete all files on your hard drive while you're browsing the web. Opening network connections to servers other than where the applet was originally downloaded from is another thing that is not allowed.
There are two ways to solve this: put the php script and the applet on the same server, or sign the applet. Signing an applet means assuring the user that the applet won't do anything bad and that it's ok to allow it to do something that would otherwise be forbidden, here's an example:

Need Urgent Help with Apache and PHP

I have been struggling with apache and php for a week now and I finally broke down to post a message.
I have apache 1.3 running on my mac mini g4 with 10.4.9 and I installed sql. I went to the entropy website and downloaded php5 to install without knowing I already had php4 on the machine. I installed 5 but could not get it to work. I then went back to httpd.conf and tried to install php4 by uncommenting out the loadmodule and addmodule lines. I restarted apache but php still did not work. I tested the phpinfo.php script but all I got was the script in Safari and not the actual page. At the moment, I have php4 and php5 on my machine but can't get either one to work. I am sure there is an easy fix but I don't know it. Please help.

The problem is not terribly complicated, but Apache will not start with the entropy file in the folder
/etc/httpd/users/
Let me experiment on you. Rename the entropy file and then try to start Apache. To do this, open Terminal and paste this command:
<pre>sudo mv /etc/httpd/users/+entropy.conf /etc/httpd/users/+entropy<pre>
Now check the Apache configuration:
<pre>apachectl configtest<pre>
If it says "Syntax OK", start Apache:
<pre>sudo apachectl start<pre>
Since we only disabled the entropy file, you should be able to enable PHP5 with some more advanced configuring.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.

A question about item "type and release" of source system creation

Hello expert,
I have a question about item "type and release" of source system creation.
As we know,when we create a web servie source system,there will display a pop-up which includes three items as "logical system","source system"and "type and release".
About the item "type and release",when we push "F4" button,there will be three default selections as below:
"ORA 115     Oracle Applications 11i
TLF 205     Tealeaf 2.05B
XPD 020     SAP xPD".
Who can tell me when and how should I use the three selections.
And also I attempted to input the item by some optional letters except the default three selections and it seems that I can input it freely.
Thank you and Best Regards,
Maggie

Hello DMK,
Thank you very much for your answer.It is very helpful for me.
Can I ask you further about it?
I got that it is a semantic description item.
You said the default selections are set by our basis people.Would you like to tell me how should we creat a new value except the default ones for item "type and release"?Only by inputing the value in the item directly?But you see we canot see the new value item we created by ourself when we push "F4" button next time ,is that ok?Or do we have to ask basis people to define one new value item just like the default seletions before we use it.
Also if possible would you like to describe detail about "This becomes important when you are troubleshooting certain issues especially when RFC connection problems."
Thank you and Best Regards,
Maggie

Multiple versions of Apache and PHP

I'm setting up a new Xserve with Apache2 and PHP5. I understand that Xserves ship with Apache2 and Apache 1.1 already installed and when I do
httpd -v
it reports back the older version of Apache. When I do
php -v
it reports back version 4.4.1.
At the time I investigated this, I didn't know Apple had pre-installed Apache2 so I installed it via Fink and FinkCommander. When I installed it originallyl from the entropy.ch files, asking httpd for its version reported the older version even though the System Preference pane said that Apache2 was up and running. What is going on that both are running simultaneously?
After installing Apache2 via Fink, httpd now properly reports its version as 2.0.55... which is what I would expect after properly updating Apache from 1 to 2.
I'm experiencing something similar with my PHP5 installation via Fink. Asking terminal for php -v reports version 4.4.1, however when I query PHP through a web script running phpinfo() it reports back in the web browser as being version 5.0.4.
So, what triggers the command line to report back different versions of installed web services than other methods? Why does my webpage through phpinfo() report back 5.0.4 where terminal says php -v is 4.4.1? Does it even matter? Does this mean two copies of PHP are running? What turned on the old version? I thought PHP had to be triggered by a PHP request. Why does Apache2, when insttalled through one method still report the older version when queried through terminal, but installed a idffererent way report the new version? Why did that not seem to afffect the ability for Apache2 to run properly? What does the version, as reported through terminal, of a given web service even mean if multiple versions of web services can run simultaneously and multiple reports of those versions can return different results? For that matter, how can I then truly verify that the version running is the version I installed? It wasn't until terminal reported my version of httpd as being 2.0.55 until I felt like the Apache2 installation was truly successful. Was I overthinnking the problem? Is there even a problem? Aaaagghghgh!!!!!!

Ahhh!!!! OK, that makes a ton of sense. I checked the PATH environment variable and see what you're talking about.
This kind of leads to a follow up question . If I do a
php -v
and I get back some information about some version of php installed at some path referenced in the environment variable, how can I tell what path OS X found the php command in? Is there any way to say, "Hey, computer, tell me where you think php is located." Because there are seven or eight paths I could search in, but it seems like a trivial matter for the computer to just tell me where it's looking, rather than me hunting for the command file.
It also seems that fink has installed /sw paths into my environment variable for me and that my apache httpd command is located in one of these but my new installation of php5 is not. That's really what was tripping me up was that I hadn't modified the environment variable for $PATH myself and some things were reporting properlly and others were not. Fink did most of the work I expected, but not all, leading to a confusing version report.

Apache and PHP not working together

Hey all,
Ok, I reinstalled my server yesterday and followed the LAMP wiki to set up Apache, MySQL, and PHP. Now, I got Apache and MySql working great, but when I go to directory that has a .php file to open, my brower is asking me what application I want to open with the file.
I have set up this to handle the docuemtns:
DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml index.html
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
and still no go.
Anyone got this to work?
Thanks!!!
Joe

Check and see if what I said in my last post is happening to you as well...
Yeah, I checked and the path is correct...
Maybe I should just reinstall it?
Thanks!!!

Apache and PHP upgrade

I'm sure there was a Darwin section once-upon-a-time but I don't see it so am posting here for advice. I want to install Apache 2.2.0 and PHP 5.1.2 but as Apple doesn't yet include these upgrades I'd like to keep them seapate from existing installs. Would installing in usr/local be the reasonable place for installation and has anyone here done this install?

Transformation logic for char and keyfigure from source keyfigures and flag

Hi All,
   My requirement is populate char and keyfigure values from source keyfigures and flag, which is like transformation of converting the Key Figure based structure to the accounts based structure. I am loading data from the cube1 to cube2,
cube1 structure with sample data:
Plant Furnace ZFurnace ZPlant1 Zplant2 Flag
P01     Blank      0                56        73      P
Blank     F01      335               0           0       F
Target Cube str with sample data
Plant Furnace    FS(Char)   KYF   Flag
P01     Blank         1               56       P
Blank F01            2               335    F
P01      Blank         3               73      P
ZPlant1, ZPlant2 and ZFurnace are the keyfigure tech.names.
FS has master data:
FScode KYF            Flag
1             ZPlant1        P
2             ZFurnace     F
3             Zplant2         P
While loading data from the source cube1 I need to read FS master data and than fill FS code in target cube based on source Flag and Key figure technical names.
I would be greatly appreciate with points if anyone can help me in writing the ABAP logic. The challenging part for me is comparing key figure technical names in cube1 with the FS master data key figure values.
Thanks.
Baba.

Hi All,
   Actually there will be 18 records in FS master data and there will not more than 18 Key figures. Is there any way I can hardcore the values and write small code.
something like:
if KYF = Zplant1.
     WA_FSCODE = '1'.
   WA_EU = source_fields-KYF.
WA_PLant = source_fields-plant.
wa_furnace = source_fields-furnace.
else
    if kyf = zplant2
Please let me know the sample logic with code. I greatly appreciate with points..
Regards
Baba

Flash Builder 4 and PHP Data/Services for beginners

Hello,
I'm new here, so I do not know if I posted my doubts in the right place.
without much la la la go straight to the point.
I am developing an application in flex / mysql / php / zend DataWizard and used the flex to create the data service.
populei my dropdown with the desired data (cities) and populei my datagrid with their respective data (customer master), so far so good. That's when I came across a difficulty which already makes two weeks and try to solve anything. the little knowledge I have in programming know it's something silly, but I can not solve.
Difficulty: I select a city in my dropdown and display all my customers registered in the same city in my datagrid. simple! I found some tutorials on the net talking about it, did exactly what her boss but unfortunately got no success (not populates the datagrid), may be doing algor be unable to realize. so it follows my code so they can help me. grateful!!

Hi,
The first issue will be the pathing differences between wamp/mamp/xampp, some use www as root others htdoc you need to setup the php services on your local machine rather than importing a project.
The created services will have a connection array declared at the top of the code that points to the mysql server, in the project default debug folder you will have the config file that has the zend and webserver path
top of service file
============
var $username = "root";
var $password = "";
var $server = "localhost";
var $port = "3306";
var $databasename = "zend";
var $tablename = "clients";
var $connection;
amfconfig.ini
=========
[zend]
;set the absolute location path of webroot directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\www
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/www
webroot =C:/wamp/www
;set the absolute location path of zend installation directory, example:
;Windows: C:\apache\PHPFrameworks\ZendFramework\library
;MAC/UNIX: /user/apache/PHPFrameworks/ZendFramework/library
;zend_path =
[zendamf]
amf.production = false
amf.directories[]=Zender-debug/services
In your main project folder you have a .model folder the file there is an *.fml file that contains your channel endpoints etc.

Updates for Apache and PHP coming

Hi all
I am new to os x and Mac in general. I would like to use my shinny new MacBook Pro as a mobile development platform for apache2, php, javascript, ajax. However, I am unable to find a binary of apache2 that is ready to install. Is there such an animal?
I would rather not use valuable disk space to load a compiler. All my other work is on Linux where I am comfortable compiling from tar files, but this is a new bird and my time is short.
Any information is appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

I understand that Apache 2 will come with OS 10.5 this spring. Otherwise, I think you'll need to build it yourself. Or maybe you can find a binary at http://fink.sourceforge.net/
