<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi List,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I don' get php5 running with configured option "--with-mm". </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I really don't understand the php5-docs: </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">"Session support is enabled in PHP by default. If you would not like to build your PHP with session support, you should specify the --disable-session option to configure. To use shared memory allocation (mm) for session storage configure PHP --with-mm[=DIR] . "</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So my question:</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1) Is this php-option "--with-mm" needed for use with mapbender ?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2) Perhaps, if a "secure"-server (https, ows-security-proxy, …) should be created ?</FONT>
</P>
<BR>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Background:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">=========</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I must setup a new mapbender-Server. This Server must use SLES 10 and support mapbender, postgresql/postgis and oracle (via oci with mapserver and php5).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I had some troubles configuring and compiling all needed stuff. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I was not able to get SLES10-php5 working with Oracle-OCI.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Using the oracle-Zend-stuff, Oracle was working well, but I was not able to get the needed "--with-mbstring" (or Zend_Translate) working.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">So I downloaded php 5.2.5 from </FONT><A HREF="file://www.php.net"><U><FONT COLOR="#0000FF" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">www.php.net</FONT></U></A><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"> and compiled from scratch. But using --with-mm I get an error message when starting apache (no configue-error and no compiling error).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">MapBender 2.5rc1 seems to work without "--with-mm", postgres/postgis is working, oracle is working.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I would be glad, if somebody could tell me, whether this option really is not needed for mapbender-use !</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">greetings </FONT>
