First check to see if GD is compiled into this PHP. Create a simple PHP file with phpinfo(); as the only instruction, then scan through the list of extensions. If it's available then there will be a section called "GD" with the parameters available.

If GD isn't already compiled into this PHP binary then you'll need to recompile PHP with the GD extension. This is easier than it sounds if you have an environment that already capable of building (see php.net for instructions on how to assemble a buildable environment).

Once you have a rebuilt PHP it should be trivial to make Web Server use the new binary. Your Web Server is already configured to use PHP, you just need to replace the PHP binary Web Server is looking for. Just make sure you compile PHP to use the same API (NSAPI or FastCGI) that Web Server is expecting.

j.mccabe,

Thanks for your reply. right now I am using the php that was compiled by sun for use with sun web server 7. how do I recompile it with gd library? I am trying to look for instruction at php.net, but was unable to find it. Do you have the link? Thanks.

This is the version of php I am using.

I'm afraid I don't know if that build of PHP has GD in it or not. I'll assume that it does not since you're having problems.

If you're on Solaris you can use the PHP from the Web Stack by following Sriram's instructions: [http://blogs.sun.com/natarajan/entry/a_simple_way_to_get|http://blogs.sun.com/natarajan/entry/a_simple_way_to_get]

If you need to compile from scratch then you can follow these instructions: [http://developers.sun.com/webtier/reference/techart/php2.html|http://developers.sun.com/webtier/reference/techart/php2.html]

Since you're using the add-on Sun provided, the installer script configured Web Server to use the PHP binary. During installation you will have selected either NSAPI or FastCGI, so you will need to build the new binary to use the same API your Web Server is already configured to use.

The first essential step in compiling PHP (after assembling the necessary tools and dependencies) will be your configure line. For reference, here's the line I use:

./configure --with-openssl --with-gettext --with-zlib --with-jpeg-dir=/opt --with-gd --with-mysql=/opt --with-png-dir=/opt --with-mcrypt --enable-mbstring --enable-sockets 

After that the process is more-or-less laid out in the link above.

I've downloaded gd library from sunfreeware and all its dependencies and installed them. With the downloaded php-5.3.2 source code from php.net, I run the command

./configure with-openssl with-gettext with-zlib with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib with-gd with-mysql=/usr/local/lib with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib with-mcrypt enable-mbstring enable-sockets

I got the following error.

Ahh. Windows.

Compiling for Windows is a pain. It's the only platform that PHP.net distributes in binary form just 'cause it's such a pain.

Unfortunately I couldn't really tell you which of those to download.

I am running on solaris 10 x86 machine. This is the version I downloaded.

PHP 5.3.2

Complete Source Code

PHP 5.3.2 (tar.gz) [13,413Kb] - 04 Mar 2010 from

http://www.php.net/downloads.php#v5

Ahh. OK. A bad assumption on my part based on the Cygwin failure in your quoted text combined with late-night laziness. Sorry about that.

Your failure shows that your build environment is missing a lot of necessary components. Let's start with these:

checking for Cygwin environment... no
checking for mingw32 environment... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no

Have you confirmed that you installed the dependencies that PHP requires as described here ?

I have downloaded and installed following dependencies for php

gcc (recommended, other C compilers may work)
make
flex
bison
m4
autoconf
automake
perl
gzip
tar
GNU sed

as well as following dependencies for gd library

xpm,
freetype,
fontconfig,
libiconv,
libintl,
libpng,
zlib,
expat,
jpeg
and /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 from libgcc-3.4.6 or gcc-3.4.6 or higher.

but I am still getting the same error.

Does the files or the dependencies packages needs to be in a specific folder? or the php has to be in a specific folder? or Do I need to point them to the right directory? currently the dependence packages are located under /usr/local/

The configure script is going to look in the default OS locations for the various dependencies. If you haven't installed them with the OS-native package manager then the odds are pretty good that the configure script won't be able to find them.

A quick Googling found me this blog: [http://blogs.whardy.com/john/2008/01/02/moodle-on-solaris/|http://blogs.whardy.com/john/2008/01/02/moodle-on-solaris/] It seems to be more-or-less a step-by-step for compiling PHP on Solaris and then using it with Web Server. Can you double-check your steps against it?

with the following command

# ./configure with-gettext with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/bin with-gd with-png-dir=/usr/local/bin enable-mbstring enable-sockets

I got the following output.

Thank you for using PHP.

I am trying to use the ./php -version command. I am not finding ./php under my php directory /download/php-5.3.2/sapi/cgi

After you ran ./configure you need to run make (or gmake) to actually compile the binary.

I ran it again, because i forgot to enable fastcgi and I got the following error.

Thank you for using PHP.

Notice: Following unknown configure options were used:

--enable-fastcgi

Check './configure --help' for available options

I believe that current versions (5.3.something) of PHP now build FastCGI by default. This renders --enable-fastcgi as not-needed.

I use FastCGI with PHP. Here's my configure line from 5.3.2:

./configure --with-openssl --with-gettext --with-zlib --with-jpeg-dir=/opt --with-gd --with-mysql=/opt --with-png-dir=/opt --with-mcrypt --enable-mbstring--enable-sockets

After compile, I got the following.

bash-3.00# ./php -version
PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Jul 18 2010 20:55:30)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

But my php is located under

bash-3.00# pwd
/download/php-5.3.2/sapi/cli

instead of under
/download/php-5.3.2/sapi/cgi

as described at http://developers.sun.com/webtier/reference/techart/php2.html

is it because of the different version?

How do I config the web server 7 to work with this version of php, should I follow the site
http://developers.sun.com/webtier/reference/techart/php2.html#4

or is there any difference in php-5.3.2?

I don't recall if the PHP people have changed the name of the FCGI binary. I just did a build on CentOS and ended up with this:

# cd sapi/cgi/
# *./php-cgi -v*
PHP 5.3.2 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Jul 19 2010 09:04:06)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies

Notice that the binary (just after build completion) is called php-cgi, that it's in the sapi/cgi directory, and that it reports itself as "cgi-fcgi".


Regarding where to put it ... Look in your Web Server obj.conf file. Somewhere in there you will find a section that contains "app-path" and points to a particular location (again, this assumes that you told the PHP Add-On installer that you wanted to use FastCGI). That line is telling Web Server where to find the PHP binary to execture. Either replace that binary with the one you just built, or change the path to point to the new location of your binary. Then stop/start your Web Server and access a test PHP page with phpinfo(); inside. Verify that the page that comes back indicates that you're using PHP 5.3.2 and also contains a section with information about GD.

Thanks, Looks like it's working, after pointing app-path in obj.conf, I restarted the web server. and tested with a phpinfo(); testing page. it shows that gd library is enabled.

Now, I am trying to compile also mysql into the php, but it's giving me error, can you help with that. error message is shown as follow;

configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under /data/Software/mysql-standard-5.0.27-solaris10-x86_64/include.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!

I am pointing --with-mysql to the mysql directory and also tried pointing to the mysql header folder. both are giving me error.

On Centos I have to have the mysql-devel-5.0.77-4.el5_5.3 package installed. I have no idea what it might be called on Solaris.

Good luck!
