Is fileinfo pecl extension installed as a package or with pecl? In
case it is installed as an rpm try to remove it and install it as an
extension in case the package is broken for some reason.
I installed it with PECL:
/usr/share/pear/bin/pecl install fileinfo
Other question: where does PECL install this? It's not under
/usr/share/pear AFAIK. This is the same as with the dev box, so I
don't think it's an issue; I'm just curious.
Pear and pecl are different. Pear is used to install pure PHP-coded
extensions that you can include in your projects. You can use this piece
of code that pear provides by just copying it somewhere and including it
though not recommended IMHO. Pecl on the other hand provides C-coded
extensions that you need to compile and may provide for eg APIs for
known libraries that must exist in your system.
That is what pecl command does downloads, compiles and installs the
extension.
A wild guess is that your modules probably live under the
/usr/lib/php/modules directory or in a directory under the /usr/lib/php.
Anyway, as I said, phpinfo() tells me it's installed & enabled.
Have in mind that you will need the magic_open library for this to work.
You mean libmagic? I have file-4.17-15.el5_3.1, which provides
libmagic, installed. Strangely, for Fedora, it comes in the file-libs
package. But I know that, for the dev box, I had to install file-devel
to get this all working. Neither of these appear to be available for
RHEL, which I'm discovering is a bit "interesting" to deal with,
package-wise.
The file package also provides /usr/share/file/magic*, which I have.
I'd created a link to /etc/magic.mime but decided in the end to just
pass the correct path to finfo().
