KfWiki: Sun Web Server and php

Sun Web Server and php

I don't know why am I even documenting this. Like most of the sun software, Sun Web Server is rubbish. Much of this is from a chinese site - http://www.leftworld.net/wenzhang/show/628.html

Download and install

Download http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=3f4f998d and then run setup

Install mysql

To build php with mysql support, one needs to first install mysql. Check whether your sun web server is 32bit. Why does Sun distributes 32-bit software on 64-bit sparc? Because it's rubbish.

> file /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/bin/webservd
/opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/https/bin/webservd:  ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC32PLUS Version 1, V8+ Required, dynamically linked, not stripped, no debugging information available

In order to build php with mysql support, install 32bit mysql from www.mysql.com. I use the pkdadd version, which installs the software under /opt/mysql

Build php

Very similar to linux, one downloads php from php.net, extract it, configure and make. The config options I used are:

./configure --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d \
--with-nsapi=/opt/SUNWwbsvr --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--prefix=/usr/local --enable-mbstring
make
make install
cp php.ini-dist /etc/php.ini

Install php module

From the php source directory:

cp ./libs/libphp5.so /opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/

Now go to your site and then edit the following files:

Edit obj.conf

Under <Object name="default">, add

Service fn="php5_execute" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php"

At the end, add

<Object name="x-httpd-php"> 
ObjectType fn="force-type" type="magnus-internal/x-httpd-php" 
Service fn="php5_execute"
</Object>

Edit magnus.conf

At the end, add

Init fn="load-modules" funcs="php4_init,php4_execute,php4_auth_trans" shlib="/opt/SUNWwbsvr/bin/libphp4.so" 
Init fn="php4_init" errorString="Failed to initialize PHP!"

Edit mime.types

Add

type=magnus-internal/x-httpd-php                exts=php,php5

Restart web server

cd /opt/SUNwbsvr/https-mysite
./restart
