Help: Comping php without mbstring

[tmellon]

I've search all over, and don't have the slightest clue in how to go about doing it without running into problems.

So I was wondering if anyone can give me an idea in how to go about doing it ??

Do I have to edit the apache built script?

The reason I need it to be compiled without is because its affecting vBulletin -- and its a serious issue -- especially with vB3 coming out soon, elies solely on the $_POST and $_GET and $_REQUEST arrays, vB3 won't run without this fixed...and they want to start beta testing within the next couple weeks :/

So I need it compiled without.. :/

Any help? Please?!?!

Thanks in advance!!
Tonya

you have to run this in a root ssh session:

/scripts/easyapache

choose advanced mode

and make sure these modules are selected

* User bandwidth leech protection
* Bytes logging Module
* Frontpage Module
* Raise HARD_SERVER_LIMIT
* Rewrite Module
* SSL Module
* suEXEC Module

also select
PHP Modules --&

and uncheck whatever you want (PHP modules) i.e. mbstring

Thanks,

I totally forgot that you can select the php module thing... grrr...
brain freeze, I guess.

Thanks again

Hmm, I've been compiling manually because mbstring wasn;t there. What php modules are currenrtly supported? Also, I tried to re-compile manually without mbstring ( as it is causing problems ) and I got an error and apache wouldn't restart. Whats the best way to remove mbstring support?

 

[tmellon]

Just do it the easyapache way -- it takes it right out.

That's the simple part -- the thing that takes the longest is apache recompiling, etc. Everything else is very simple.

yeah, but I also require curl and xslt. I also need it compiled without safemode ( not just turned off ). Anyone know if these features are now available in the buildapache? Last I checked ( a few months back ) they weren't.

you can also enable or disable curl, xslt and safe mode during Apache installation

/scripts/easyapache

I just did what every is written here to get rid of mb string, but after running /scripts/easyapache i did not find the PHP module mb string, hence i selected the rest and then continued and after the compilation finished..i got ERROR

/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart: httpd not running, trying to start
Syntax error on line 227 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_throttle.so into server: /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_throttle.so: undefined symbol: shm_open

During Apache installation use up and down arrow keys to see all of the options

&And can u tell me do i need to always keep those entires #'ed or is their a sol to it.

it is safe to comment out the line or even remove it from httpd.conf (mod_throttle.so)
