ID: 42339 User updated by: codeslinger at compsalot dot com -Summary: Can't Build a CLI *only* must have APXS enabled Reported By: codeslinger at compsalot dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: SimplyMEPIS Linux 6.5 PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment:
Hi Jani, Thank you for looking at this, I appreciate your efforts. Using the snap from 2007-08-26 at 04:30 I can not reproduce the problem. Therefore the problem has been fixed in cvs and that's why you aren't seeing it. However, in the release version of php 5.2.3 using the following command continues to result in the error message and abort as described. ./configure --without-apxs2 What appears to be happening is that "without" is being mistaken for a "with" request. And since the default path does not match the actual path it aborts with a not found error. The reason I was specifying "--without-apxs2" is because I wanted to make certain that apxs would not be built and clobber my previous apxs which has different/incompatible configure options. My assumption was that because the cgi gets built even when it is not requested, that the apxs was also probably being built. Now that I understand better how to interpret the many thousands of lines of output... I see that apxs is not being built unless specifically requested. I do not recall seeing this fact (that cgi gets built and apxs does not, by default) anywhere in the documentation. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-23 09:19:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] # ./configure --disable-cgi or # ./configure --without-apxs2 Both work just fine here. You're simply doing something wrong or I'm high on crack. :) I even removed Apache from my test machine to be sure. Any other SAPIs aren't enabled by default except for CLI and CGI. With plain ./configure without any options you get both. Please it with this latest snapshot instead of 5.2.3: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-22 19:13:53] codeslinger at compsalot dot com The sources used are fine, I downloaded them direct from php.net and verified the md5. The documentation on the options is incomplete. I tried --without-apxs because even though it is not documented, it is symmetrical to the option --with-apxs which is documented, but that did not work. Also, not saying anything about apxs at all did not work either. Everything I tried, the ./configure failed. After entering this bug and thinking about it some more, it occurred to me to try --disable-apxs and did discover that it was the only thing which produced the desired behavior of a CLI only build. And that's when I changed the category to a documentation bug. Anything else results in the error: "Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS." I get that error even though I have not specified --with-apxs. php by default is trying to build the apxs version even when it is not requested. I note in the change log that there have been some recent changes to the "make". perhaps this problem is newly introduced. Also my actual goal was to build both CGI and CLI at the same time, but for the purpose of this bug I decided to simplify and isolate as much as possible. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-20 07:48:19] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is not true. Simply doing './configure --disable-cgi' gives you CLI. There isn't such option as '--disable-apxs'.. You propably used unclean sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-18 17:46:21] codeslinger at compsalot dot com this is actually a documentation problem. the correct command should be './configure' --enable-cli --disable-cgi --disable-apxs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-08-18 17:36:23] codeslinger at compsalot dot com Description: ------------ There are many options for PHP, such as ncurses, which are not compatible with phpN-mod.so But when trying to build a CLI only config, it fails with an error message that APXS is not enabled. Reproduce code: --------------- I tried many variants, here is the simplest: './configure' --enable-cli --disable-cgi --without-apxs2 --without-apxs Expected result: ---------------- Expected: No errors Note: the following command *does* work './configure' --enable-cli --disable-cgi '--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2' Actual result: -------------- Configuring SAPI modules checking for AOLserver support... no checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS... Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons: 1. Perl is not installed; 2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so); 3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs The output of /usr/local/src/php-5.2.3/no follows ./configure: line 4396: /usr/local/src/php-5.2.3/no: No such file or directory configure: error: Aborting ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42339&edit=1
