Compiling php with fcgi on tiger

I can’t figure out how to compile php with fcg enabled.

I found a website which gives an example of how to write options in
configure
http://scoops.totallyrule.com/articles/2006/02/01/mysql5-ab-package-and-php5

So I wrote
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --program-suffix=5 --enable-fastcgi
–enable-discard-path --enable-force-cgi-redirect
–with-mysqli=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config
make
sudo make install

I don’t get any error, but 127.0.0.1/test is still pointing at the
package
from
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/ and the apache config file
has the info from the entropy package.

I think I need to tell make install where to put the directories, and
then I
need to comment out the lines entropy entered in httpd.conf and replace
them
with some new lines.

Can someone points me to some info on how to do this?


I have been following this script but there is not enough info for me to
info for me to follow the php part
These instructions work on OSX, most linux distros and FreeBSD
You can skip ruby if you already have a good copy. But if you only have
the
stock ruby that comes with OSX I would compile it from source and rename
the
stock OSX ruby and irb to ruby.bak and irb.bak so you don’t end up using
them on accident.

Compile php as a fast-cgi binary The main thing here is the following
configure options. You can add whatever else you like to your php binary
but
these are needed for fast-cgi support.

$ ./configure
–enable-fastcgi
–enable-discard-path
–enable-force-cgi-redirect \


Lighttpd Launcher Script

Here is a link for a sweet enhancement. Put this script in your
RAILS_ROOT/script folder and put the lighttpd.conf file in
RAILS_ROOT/config. Now you can launch your rails app by cdÃ?â??ing into
your
RAILS_ROOT for your app and typing:
$ruby script/lighty -p 7500 -e development (or whatever port&env you
want to
use)

Now you can hit http://localhost:7500/ and you will get your app running
on
lighttpd no muss no fuss. Very sweet for development. Here is the link:
BigBold - Informasi Tentang Bisnis dan Marketing . Name the first ruby
script
lighty and name the config file lighttpd.conf. Now every time you start
your
app this way is creates a new lighttpd.conf in /tmp and starts lighttpd
up
with that file. This way you can give it command line options as to what
port to bind to and others. IÃ?â??m using this for development and it is
sweet!

Php-related question ought to be forwarded to a php-related list.

I wrote a os x howto partly based on hivelogic’s howto. You can read

Yes I did post on the comp.lang.php site, and perhaps I should also find
fcgi
or darwinport sites.
But rails folks seemed the most likely to be installing fcgi for apache?

thank you for your link. I had not seen your site. I will study it and
see
if it could help

thanks for your response.

I found a website which shows how to compile php for tiger
http://maxo.captainnet.net/installs/tiger/php/index.html

actually the test file has the configure command so I could probably
have
taken Mark’s package install
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/php/
looked at the test file section on configuration, copied that, and added
the
3 fcgi commands at the end.

‘./configure’ ‘–prefix=/usr/local/php5’ ‘–mandir=/usr/share/man’
‘–infodir=/usr/share/info’ ‘–with-apxs’ ‘–with-ldap=/usr’
‘–with-kerberos=/usr’ ‘–enable-cli’ ‘–with-zlib-dir=/usr’
‘–enable-trans-sid’ ‘–with-xml’ ‘–enable-exif’ ‘–enable-ftp’
‘–enable-mbstring’ ‘–enable-dbx’ ‘–enable-sockets’
‘–with-iodbc=/usr’
‘–with-curl=/usr’ ‘–with-config-file-path=/etc’
‘–with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql’ ‘–enable-fastcgi’
‘–enable-discard-path’
‘–enable-force-cgi-redirect’

since I used Mark’s package before I used this. the apache config file
should be ok with this new install, since there already is some info
telling
apache to enable php5 in the httpd.conf file.
and now hopefully I have fastcgi! the test file does not say
explicitely.

Hope this can help someone else having similar woes.
