EasyApache and PHP5 failing mysql tests

I have been running PHP4, MySQL4 and Apache 1 successfully for a number of years. I am now having a problem after deciding to update apache and PHP:

/scripts/easyapache
Php 5.2.3
apache 2.0
GD,TTF,exif,mysql,mysqlsystem,mysqli,etc etc

Taken from /usr/local/cpanel/logs/easy/apache/build.1195986691

Code:

-- Begin opt 'Mysql' --
        -- Begin dryrun test 'mysql compilation test' --
        dryrun test 'mysql compilation test' did not return true

        !! Dry run failed for 'Cpanel::Easy::PHP5::Mysql' skipping option !!

-- Begin opt 'Mysql of the system' --
        -- Begin dryrun test 'mysql compilation test' --
        dryrun test 'mysql compilation test' did not return true

        !! Dry run failed for 'Cpanel::Easy::PHP5::MysqlOfSystem' skipping option !!

-- Begin opt 'MySQL "Improved" extension.' --
        -- Begin dryrun test 'mysql compilation test' --
        dryrun test 'mysql compilation test' did not return true

        !! Dry run failed for 'Cpanel::Easy::PHP5::Mysqli' skipping option !!

For various reasons based on reading different posts I have:
/scripts/mysqlup - success
/scripts/installzendopt - success (the original reason for updating was that zend didn't seem to function correctly)
tail -10 /var/log/mysqld.log - nothing interesting in the log
/scripts/realperlinstaller --force DBD::mysql - success
I have recompiled apache 4 or 5 times without success

Currently none of my sites are able to connect to mysql databases (phpmyadmin, all blogs, billing systems etc)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Ok, I have obviously been trying to continue my investigations into this.

mysql -u root -p -Bse 'show databases' shows that all the databases are still there and that mysql is running.

It looks to me (the completely uninitiated) that the php modules?! required during the apache build for php files to hoot into db's are missing.

Based on what I have provided above it seems they were not installed because the files failed a pre-build test.

So, has anyone experienced this and can provide some advice? If not, can you recommend a way of finding out the reason for the dry-run fails (i.e missing modules/files/configs) si that I can try to work around them.

Thanks muchly

 

Hey David,
I probably didn't explain myself very well, i tried combinations. Starting with an upgrade of all three and on each fail I worked back until I was simply making configuration changes.

It's now resolved, see next post.

 

Thanks Kenneth, I picked up on that but didn't know how to see what the compilation test consisted of?!

I was running an EOL RH OS and have now upgraded to CentOS Enterprise and have updated and recompiled with ease.

Moral of the story: update your OS lol

Thanks very much for the input guys.
