Upgrading to php5

Published in PHP / Unix - on Jul 20, 2007 - Comment Off

Recent announcement from php.net about end support for php4 make me thinking about upgrading to php5.

All server already use latest php4 version php 4.4.7 with mysql support (4.0.27) and apache1.37

Upgrading start from student server :

1. Uninstall all related php4 ports

2. Install php5 ports

kongja# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 && make clean
===>  Cleaning for apache-1.3.37_4
===>  Cleaning for php5-5.2.3
kongja# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 && make install
===>  php5-5.2.3 : Your apache does not support DSO modules.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /data3/ports/lang/php5.
wew, seem that I must reconfigure apache first 🙂

3. Reconfigure apache, nothing to do except build with DSO support.

4. Restart apache

kongja# apachectl restart
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart: configuration broken, ignoring restart
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart: (run ‘apachectl configtest’ for details)
kongja# apachectl configtest
Syntax error on line 235 of /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp4.so into server: Cannot open "/usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp4.so"

Ouch, deinstaling php4 not automatically remove php4 things.

Do it manually by give # sign in ‘php4’ related line

kongja# ee /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf

LoadModule setenvif_module    libexec/apache/mod_setenvif.so
#LoadModule php4_module        libexec/apache/libphp4.so
LoadModule security_module    libexec/apache/mod_security.so

5. Try again install php5 :

kongja# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 && make clean
===>  Cleaning for php5-5.2.3
kongja# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5 && make install
===>  php5-5.2.3 : Your apache does not support DSO modules.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /data3/ports/lang/php5.

Sighh… no DSO support 🙁

Ok, how about this:

uninstall apache13

install php5 and let php5 dependency solve the problem for me 🙂

ok, everthing seem smooth till see this ::

/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib
===>   Registering installation for libxml2-2.6.29
===>   Returning to build of php5-5.2.3
===>  Configuring for php5-5.2.3
exec: /usr/local/bin/autom4te259: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop in /data3/ports/lang/php5.
*** Error code 1

7. Checking for autoconf

kongja# pkg_info | grep autoconf
autoconf-2.13.000227_5 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms
autoconf-2.53_3     Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms
autoconf-2.59_2     Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms

wow

uinstall unnecessary autoconf

kongja# pkg_delete autoconf-2.59_2
kongja# pkg_delete autoconf-2.53_3
pkg_delete: package ‘autoconf-2.53_3’ is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:
automake-1.5_3,1
kongja# pkg_delete autoconf-2.13.000227_5

8. Check again

try again :

===>   Compressing manual pages for php5-5.2.3
===>   Registering installation for php5-5.2.3
===> SECURITY REPORT:
      This port has installed the following files, which may act as network
      servers and may therefore pose a remote security risk to the system.
/usr/local/libexec/apache/libphp5.so
/usr/local/bin/php

      If there are vulnerabilities in these programs there may be a security
      risk to the system. FreeBSD makes no guarantee about the security of

php5-extensions: /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions
kongja# cd /usr/ports/lang/php5-extensions && make install

12. Last thing to do

edit httpd.conf to make sure these lines exist, or only php CLI available not php as apache  module 🙂

LoadModule php5_module        libexec/apache/libphp5.so

AddModule mod_php5.c

<IfModule mod_php4.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html .asp .aspx
        AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </IfModule>

     <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html .asp .aspx
        AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </IfModule>

13. Restart apache

14. Done

Great, combination ::

apache-1.3.37_4

php5-5.2.3

mysql-client-4.0.27 Multithreaded SQL database (client)
mysql-server-4.0.27 Multithreaded SQL database (server)
