[Mapserver-users] Mapscript problems

[Joe Smith]

Thanks Vincent, one problem solved.  I successfully compiled php into
/usr/local/phpcgi (where I put php.ini and php_mapscript.so).  Apache loads
php as a cgi, and phpinfo() works fine, but it doesn't see my
php_mapscript.so module.  I'm not sure if it's a setting in a file or if
it's compiled wrong, although I didn't get any errors.  It sees the correct
php.ini file, and I changed the extension_dir to be "/usr/local/phpcgi" just
so I knew where it was looking for sure, and it still doesn't see it.

Joe

Hi Joe,

probably php actually does compile with the system-regex, but you keep using
your old version of php... The --prefix option points to the dir where php
gets installed. That means that your php cgi executable will end up in
something like /usr/local/www/php/bin/, which is probably  not in your path
and also not where apache looks for to launch the php cgi executable. You
best set --prefix to something like /usr/local/phpcgi if you want to have 2
seperate version of php (probably the php that came with your linux
distribution has been installed in /usr/, and I guess you did not uninstall
it so it will be there still). After installing php in /usr/local/phpcgi (or
whatever you want, but I discourage installing anyting in directories
beneath
your webroot, it is asking for security problems!) you will have to tell
apache in its httpd.conf file that it should launch the php cgi exe for .php
(or .phpms or whatever you like) files. And of course you should have copied
the just installed php executable to your cgi-bin directory.
You can find more about this in the wiki:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?MapServerCompilation , read on
from here.

Good luck,
Vincent.
