easyapache custom php flags

[stormridermay]

Hello,

I would like to add mssql support to php but still use easyapache. I have found this doc ( http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/easyapache.htm ) that tells how to add a custom compile flag.

So i created /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5 with the following content:

with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds

I have already installed freetds.

When i run apache update everything seens to run ok but php is compiled without this flag.

Could someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

That document is for the easyapache in EDGE.

For easyapache in no-EDGE branches, set the FULL_CUSTOM_PHP_FLAGS or CUSTOM_PHP_FLAGS environment variable before executing /scripts/easyapache

Apologies for sounding like an idiot, but how would I do that?

I'm looking to get the SOAP extension enabled in PHP5 and being able to set custom compile flags would be just what I need!

Here's my procedure on a Cpanel 10.x box. YMMV

Of course, you will have a different verion of PHP listed in your directory too.

You need to have FreeTDS installed, and when you compile PHP, you need to add the freetds stuff to the configure
line.

After you upgrade php or Apache in cPanel/WHM you need to do this.

cd /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/

(If needed) tar zxf /home/cpapachebuild/buildapache/php-4.4.2.tar.gz

cd php-4.4.2

make clean

## Old -don't use ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --prefix=/usr/local --with-xml --enable-bcmath
--enable-calendar --enable-ftp --enable-magic-quotes --with-mysql=/usr --with-mssql=/usr/local --enable-discard-
path --with-pear --enable-sockets --enable-track-vars --enable-versioning --with-zlib

# Run configure to initialize the Makefile for PHP notice --with-mssql directive has been added

./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --prefix=/usr/local --with-xml --enable-bcmath --enable-cale
ndar --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local --with-png-dir=/usr --with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 --enable-mag
ic-quotes --with-mysql=/usr --with-mssql=/usr/local --enable-discard-path --with-pear --enable-sockets --enable-t
rack-vars --enable-versioning --with-zlib

make
make install

/scripts/installzendopt

----------------------------------------------------
Your phpinfo should display your proper config with '--with-mssql=/usr/local'
You should also check the compile line with phpinfo and use yours to recompile php. The one above is for my server and may be different than yours.

Chuck:

You got the basic manual install sequence correct but I'd make a few tweaks ....

I would remove the "--enable_versioning" flag in your ./configure line
if you are going to be installing Zend Optimizer as it doesn't like it.

After "make" and before "make install", it is good to run "make test" to
confirm that the building of you new PHP worked and that all is happy
before actually installing the new PHP binary.

On that "installzendopt" line, I would make it "/scripts/installzendopt 3.2.8"
else you will get an old version of Zend Optimizer installed.

Try adding -- before with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds
I was added Interbase support to my php and all works fine
