php versions not matching

[Daveyboy]

I had some problems with a cacti installation on ubuntuserver and it was suggested to compile php from source as opposed to the package version. I downloaded and compiled but now when I do a 'php -v' it says 5.2.3 but phpinfo says 5.1.2 , please advise.

root@cacti:~# which php

/usr/local/bin/php

 

I pointed /usr/bin/php to /usr/local/bin/ already

but now when I do a 'php -v' it says 5.2.3 but phpinfo says 5.1.2 , please advise.

 

Are you calling phpinfo within a web page? Ie via Apache? Sounds to me like you only updated the cli.

[Daveyboy]

Yes, calling phpinfo with apache2 as a test page. Excuse my newbieness, but is php cli  command line interface? Need some direction on this one.

 

root@cacti:/usr/bin# dpkg --list

Did you install it manually or through aptitude/apt-get?

 

Excuse my newbieness, but is php cli  command line interface?

Yes.

[Daveyboy]

I downloaded and installed php5 from source (./configure, make, checkinstall) and added as a .deb package, however, it installed php5-common as a dependency package when I installed phpmyadmin via apt-get.

[Daniel0]

I'd probably just uninstall and then install a LAMP like this

aptitude intall apache2 php5-mysql libapache2-mod-php5 mysql-server

[Daveyboy]

The debian package of php5 was the original issue, hence installing from source.
