Help with Reconfiguring PHP

[rabark]

Recently, I created a PHP page that makes use of executing file_get_contents() on a URL.  The URL happened to be a https URL, and it was determined PHP needed to be reconfigured with the option '--with-openssl' in order for file_get_contents() to work.  The sysadmin has reconfigured PHP, and upgraded PHP from 4.3.8 to 4.4.8 while at it.

 

My script works great when run from the command line, but when run from a browser, phpinfo() shows the previous version and compilation of PHP in effect, thus my page throws a file_get_contents related error.

 

Apache was restarted twice after the reconfiguration, but it seems it didn't quite get the memo.  Any idea what might be wrong?

Maybe  your sysadmin only reconfigured the cli version of php? they can be installed as two different beasts.

Hmm, that might be possible.  I ran a "php --version" command and got this:

 

PHP Warning:  Unknown(): (null): Unable to initialize module

Module compiled with module API=20041030, debug=0, thread-safety=1

PHP    compiled with module API=20020429, debug=0, thread-safety=1

These options need to match

in Unknown on line 0

PHP Warning:  Unknown(): Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'ldap.sl'  in Unknown on line 0

I'm fairly certain the ldap part of the error is being caused because we didn't reconfigure with the '--with-ldap[=DIR]' configuration option.  However, does the "PHP 4.4.8 (cli)" part indicate that only the CLI version was installed?

No, but you called the php cli by calling php from a term.

We got Apache to recognize the reconfiguration!   Apparently you are supposed to have stopped Apache *before* you run the configure, make, and make install commands.  Now everything is workign great.

 

Except for LDAP

 

We've tried pointing '--with-ldap=' to all kinds of locations, but no matter what, we always get this error:

 

configure: error: Cannot find ldap.h

 

A find command reveals that indeed there is no ldap.h file anywhere on the server (although all the other ldap files are in the folder where the ldap.h file should be).  It would seem then that we need to reinstall and recompile LDAP I'm guessing?.  That seems strange though since the LDAP extension was working fine before.  Could the reconfiguring of PHP possibly removed the ldap.h file or something?
