HP-UX Web Server Suite - PHP but without Informix

Steven_181 — Sat, 08 Jul 2006 08:15:11 GMT

Hi All,

We have installed the HP-UX Web Server Suite with apache 2.x version, php and etc.

After reading some documents the standard HP-UX Web Server Suite with PHP only support Oracle, Mysql database extension but not Informix.

Anyone knows how to get the Informix extension so that I can connect to my Informix database.

Thanks
Steven

Shalom Steven,

Nice name.

Its a standard apache port, so if you follow the instructions and install the Informix extension most likely it will work.

Hi Steven,

You may compile apache and php with informix support.

When you compiling php it's option --with-informix[=DIR] in configure.

--with-informix[=DIR] Include Informix support. DIR is the Informix base install directory, defaults to nothing.

Regards

Martin

Unfortunately I am not sure where to find the instruction on how to activate the informix into the standard HP-UX webserver suite.

Any ideas...

Steven,

take a look at the IBM document

'A step-by-step how-to guide to install, configure, and test a Linux, Apache, Informix, and PHP server'

and I think this will solve your problems

If Apache + PHP is already installed then you cant connect to Informix unless you install the Informix integration in PHP at the time of compilation.
You need to get the source code of PHP and recompile using informix i.e
./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs --with-informix=/usr/informix
then make and then make install
This will build your PHP with Informix and then link it to Apache so when you tun the
you'll see Informix in there.
