I have already installed Apache 2.2.14, PHP 5.3.1 (using mod_fastcgi) and MySQL 5.1.41 - this is working great, but I am now trying to install PHP 5.2.6 (also using mod_fastcgi) so I can use it for testing on other virtualhosts as my host uses this version.

I followed the same procedure in CentOS 5, and earlier versions of Fedora, and it worked fine. I have installed all the dependencies I need. "configure" worked fine, here is my configure command...

./configure \ --prefix=/usr/local/php-5.2.6 \ --enable-bcmath \ --with-bz2 \ --enable-calendar \ --with-curl \ --with-curlwrappers \ --enable-exif \ --enable-ftp \ --with-gd \ --enable-gd-native-ttf \ --enable-gd-jis-conv \ --with-gettext \ --with-gmp \ --with-imagick \ --with-imap \ --with-imap-ssl \ --with-kerberos \ --with-ldap \ --enable-libxml \ --enable-mbstring \ --with-mcrypt \ --with-mhash \ --with-mysql \ --with-mysqli \ --with-openssl \ --enable-pdo \ --with-pdo-mysql \ --enable-soap \ --enable-sockets \ --with-tidy \ --with-xmlrpc \ --with-xsl \ --enable-zip \ --with-zlib

But I seem to be getting errors when running "make"... there are alot of errors so I have shown the first and last bit (had to log it to a text file it was so long). I assume I need some compile flags/options to get this to work.

I have tried several times now, deleting the folder and files and starting from scratch with a fresh download, still the same ****. I'm sure I've seen this error before but I just can't remember what I did as I always forget to write things down - I usually find hours of frustration is solved by something silly. I got PHP 5.2.12 to compile fine, but ideally I would like to use PHP 5.2.6 to emulate the web host's environment.

I'm not sure if this will help you help me.

Do I need to provide any more information that could help?

  • Have you looked at the configure log? Sometimes there are errors with the configuration that can cause compilation errors. Commented Dec 30, 2009 at 15:56
  • Just had a look, but it's a huge file and most of it eludes me. There isn't anything that appears to shed any light on why this wont make. I wonder if it is because I need to pass some compile settings to it somehow, or install compatibility libraries/headers/packages for it to use instead. I'm just totally stumped.

The short answer is that the older PHP version probably does something dumb that GCC 4.4 can't handle.

Try installing gcc 4.3 and then using:

CC=gcc-4.3 make

  • Thanks for this, I will give 4.3.4 a try. I found this article to help me do it. mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-gcc.html Commented Dec 31, 2009 at 16:48
  • Well when compiling with 4.3.4 it only moans about errors with openssl, even if I configure it with [--with-openssl=/usr] or just [--with-openssl]. I'm sick of this, I've wasted days of time trying to prepare a testing enviroment the same as my host and I would be better off just developing and testing with php 5.3.1 doing another bout of testing directly on my host. Thanks for the help anyway. Commented Dec 31, 2009 at 23:26
  • I noticed I had version 1.0.0-beta4 of openssl installed. So I decided to install the latest stable 0.9.x of openssl and use that in the configure command. It has finally compiled successfully, but now I need to get it to work with fastcgi without timing out. Commented Jan 1, 2010 at 0:08

Careful, don't make the same mistake I did!

With PHP 5.2 it appears I have to also use these configure options [--enable-fastcgi] and [--enable-force-cgi-redirect] for it to work with mod_fastcgi. If you don't use those options with PHP 5.2 you will just get a server 500 error and an unhelpful error message in the error.log!

For some reason PHP 5.3 doesn't have those options, and I based my ./configure options for 5.2 on the ones I used for 5.3.

Thanks for your help LapTop006, when I find time I need to write all this down in a tutorial.

Make sure that you run

phpize

before any ./configure script (this includes other extensions for PHP).
