openLDAP and php in easyapache - Centos 5 [ SOLUTION ]

[forlinuxsupport]

Hi

I needed to installed Openldap support in easyapache so this is how I did it.
(I pulled all the info from other cpanel threads and have listed it here in one go. )

First we need to install the openldap rpms
WHM>Software>Install RPM
- installed openldap
- installed openldap-servers
- installed openldap-devel - if it is not installed, you'll get "Cannot find ldap.h" error while recompiling - this also needs cyrus-sasl-devel installed
(If cyrus-sasl-devel won't install - find your existing version and download it from the centos mirror
- installed openldap-clients - for working from command line

if you are using php5, add the following in /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5
--with-ldap=/usr

See this page for more info http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea3/ea3custom_flags.html - see that page for php4 support

then run ./scripts/easyapache

It will then build apache / php and include ldap support for php.

Create a phpinfo page and you will see ldap listed there now.

I cant take any of the credit for this, I have just placed it all together in this thread.

Howdy,

I was testing this out to recommend it. I would install the rpms via yum like this:

yum -y install openldap openldap-servers openldap-devel

and you can skip the easyapache interface using:

/scripts/easyapache --build

to get to the ah a little quicker.

Thanks!
