php load version on lighttpd

You need to modify this section of lightpd.conf

fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ((
                     "bin-path" => "/path/to/php-cgi",

Change it to the php-cgi executable that is in PHP 5.38.  

You can use "locate php-cgi" to find all of them first, and then do "php-cgi -v" to determine which version is the right one.

This is what I have now.  How would it change?

fastcgi.server = (
".php" =>
   (( "socket" => "/tmp/php-fastcgi.socket",
      "bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php-cgi",
      "bin-environment" => (
        "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "4",
        "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000"
      ),
      "min-procs" => 1,
      "max-procs" => 20,
      "max-load-per-proc" => 4,
      "idle-timeout" => 30,
   )),

When I do a phpinfo(), then I get a display that shows me using PHP Version 5.1.6.

I want my phpinfo() to show the new version.

"bin-path" => "/usr/local/bin/php-cgi",

This line needs to be:

"bin-path" => "/path/to/location/of/php-5.3.8/php-cgi",


You will need to find the php-cgi on your system that is version 5.3.8 and then put its location in that line, as I describe above.

What is the command to locate that folder "php-5.3.8" ?  I dont have a folder for 5.3.  I did a ports install on this php version.

Also

The core of my php I believe is already 5.3 but the extentions show diffrently..

Thanks,

Please do the command "locate php-cgi".

It will likely give you several answers.. something like:

/usr/bin/php-cgi
/usr/local/bin/php-cgi
/some/other/php-cgi

You need to identify WHICH of these is the right one, because it sounds like you have version 5.3.8 and the old 5.1.6 one installed.  The way you do this is to run each of them until you find the one that tells you it is version 5.3.8.  That is the one you will put into the config file, and then you can restart lighttpd and it will load the new one.

Okay, then you only have one, and it is the correct version.  All you need to do is restart lighttpd and it will load the new module.

After the restart, phpinfo() should show 5.3.8

I have stopped and started lighttpd and still show the same version on the php info page.

Thanks,

My php.conf shows this. located in /usr/local/etc
PHP_VER=5
PHP_VERSION=5.3.8
PHP_SAPI=cli cgi
PHP_EXT_INC=pcre spl

What command are you using to stop/start lighttpd?  Are you 100% sure that it wasn't still running?

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd stop


/usr/local/etc/rc.d/lighttpd start

Please attach your lighttpd.conf to this question so I can look at it?  Use the "File" link beneath the text entry box.

here you go
lighttpd.txt

Is the file that you are running phpinfo() in named something.php or something.phtml?

Please run this command for me:

/usr/local/bin/php -v

Select allOpen in new window

Yes it is named index.php.


Below is the results from php -v

thanks,

or I think this command may work.  

pkg_delete php5*-5.1.6

please do the following other commands for me before you start deleting the old packages.

ps ax | grep tpd
locate libphp5

Select allOpen in new window

1.  output
  553  ??  Is     0:01.00 /usr/libexec/ftpd -Dll
15254  ??  S      0:00.49 /usr/local/sbin/lighttpd -f /usr/local/etc/lighttpd.conf
15921  p0  S+     0:00.00 grep tpd


2.  No out put on the second command

Okay... that looks good.  Alright, let's try removing the 5.1.6 packages and see if it will let you.  You may have to do a 'make reinstall' on the new version afterwards though if it accidentally deletes some stuff from the 5.3.8 ones.  The ports collection can be funny sometimes.

i got the solution.  I had to kill the php process when i shut down lighttpd.

Thank you for the help....  I will award the points

Wow, well that explains it - I figured php would die when lighttpd went down - that's why I kept asking you if you were 100% sure you restarted it :)

Good to know, thanks.
