install Freetds

[RichardF]

I need MSSQL connection so I downloaded freetds-0.64
but when running make I get this error:

/libreplacements.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -Wl,-soname -Wl,libtds.so.5 -Wl,-version-script -Wl,.libs/libtds.ver -o .libs/libtds.so.5.0.0

Has anyone have experience with this?

It looks like a problem in their source distribution.

tnx.

Downloaded a previous version and it installed without a problem. Tnx .. saved me from spilling time on finding a solution in this version.

Now I have to add support in PHP for it

I found these lines
--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds

How do I incorporate this in php? The instructions I read was about a clean php install, but of course php is allready running.

phpinfo:

You can find some posts in these forums for adding support to PHP. The added line goes into the php configuration part of customapache.

It will be my first time I am doing something like this..

do I have to go to /usr/local/directadmin/customapache
then edit configure.php?
add the extra line somewhere?

I have this now:
--with-freetype \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-gettext \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-kerberos \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-mhash \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-pear \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-xml \
--with-zlib \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-zip \
--with-openssl \
--enable-bcmath \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-track-vars \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-memory-limit

then I read something about ./build php and restart httpd

[RichardF]

I really need to know how to add this to php.. I have never done such a thing.

If there is an other post or a link where this is described that would be helpful

[Chrysalis]

add the line
--with-mssql=shared,/usr/local \

thats assuming the right path tree for freetds

[RichardF]

is it that simple :)

ok.. I editted configure.php

what next?

[Chrysalis]

you run the build script to compile php, I assumed you know how to use the build script already.

[RichardF]

Do you have a link to a site / page where this is explained. I am MCSE but Linux / PHP is fairly new for me.

[jlasman]

Do a complete build in the customapache directory. Search these forums for instructions.

Jeff

[RichardF]

Hi Jeff,

I need te learn more basic stuff. What is build etc.

Where can I read about it? What happens when I execute a build script? How can I return to a previous state etc.

[jlasman]

You mean you can get a RHCE without knowing how to build software?

Scary ;) .

Look for threads already on these forums for how to use customapache.

Jeff

[RichardF]

well I am not RH certified :D

we hired a technician who almost answers in binary to setup the server
DA installed the control panel on it

I can read log files

and some common sence here and there and DA runs smoothly.

[jlasman]

Sorry, you said MCSE. I'm still surprised an MCSE doesn't have to know how to build software from the command line.

I don't think you'll have a problem with customapache; there are some good instructions on these forums.
