Php-5.2.5 and postgres-8.3.1 in leopard

Question

Hi,
i am trying to maintain my web site with my brand new MacBook Pro ...
after enabling php in the httpd.conf file
apache would display my index.php page
but when it got to a page using pg_connect ... no go ..
problem is no postgres support with php-5.2.5 out of the box
so i do the configure, make and install of the postgres-8.3.1
and php-5.2.5 --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql
but now the apache 2.2.8 can't make a connection to localhost
also even if i configure the php-5.2.5 without the pgsql apache won't even display the index.php page
anyone know what my problem may be ...
thanks,
Tom Lindner

Answer 1

i solved my own problem and this is how i did it
without screwing anything up!
i installed httpd-2.2.8, php-5.2.5 and postgresql-8.3.1 like this
note i am lindner
/* postgres */
sudo mkdir /usr/local/pgsql
sudo chown lindner /usr/local/pgsql
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsq
make
make install (note no sudo)
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/data
mkdir /usr/local/pgsql/logs
blah blah blah
/* httpd (apache) */
sudo mkdir /usr/local/apache2
sudo chown lindner /usr/local/apache2
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2
make
make install (note no sudo)
/* php */
sudo mkdir /usr/local/php
sudo chown lindner /usr/local/php
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql
make
make install (note no sudo)
/* then i modified the /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf file like this */
from
#LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
to
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
from
# DocumentRoot "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"
to
DocumentRoot "/Users/lindner/Code/lindner514.com"
from
# <Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs">
to
<Directory "/Users/lindner/Code/lindner514.com">
from
# ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin/"
to
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/Users/lindner/Code/lindner514.com/cgi-bin/"
from
# <Directory "/usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin">
to
<Directory "/Users/lindner/Code/lindner514.com/cgi-bin">
from
#Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
to
Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
then added this at the bottom
<IfModule php5_module>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</IfModule>
</IfModule>
/* then i modified the /usr/local/apache2/conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf file like this */
UserDir Sites
<Directory "/Users/*/Sites">
/* finally */
make sure you system server is turned off (System Preferences:Sharing .. turn off Web Sharing)
sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
and point your browser to localhost or in my case localhost/~lindner
and the php can find pg_connect
