| Compiling and installing Apache and PHP on AIX 6.1
Revision control
A customer wanted to run Apache and PHP on their AIX 6.1 system. They quickly discovered that the versions in the AIX Linux Toolbox are outdated and some do not run on AIX 6.1. Following a little investigation, I determined that the customer was correct and decided to investigate exactly what was required to install and run the latest versions of Apache and PHP. I started by following the instructions at the website http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/wikiptype/aixopen up to the point where the author describes "Compiling PHP on AIX".
/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:/usr/java5/jre/bin:/usr/java5/bin:/opt/freeware/bin Note, this will use AIX make. You can also use GNU make. ./configure -C --enable-so --prefix /usr/local/apache2 \ --with-included-apr make make install Edited I edited the configuration file (httpd.conf) to change the User and Group names from daemon to nobody. This configuration and compilation of Apache was successful and I was able to connect to the Web server. However, this configuration and compilation subsequently did not support the APR functions required by PHP. Note that this configuration did include the built in APR functions. PHP Attempting to build PHP using the defaults (and most of the configuration options below) results in an issue where configure does not recognise that AIX supports shared libraries. In fact, many of the packages that PHP depends on also require modification so that they can build shared libraries. Finally, some of the precompiled packages in the AIX toolbox are compiled against AIX 5.1 and so I decided to rebuild these against AIX 6.1. Libtool This step is not required. I think that the version in the AIX toolbox is built against AIX 5.1 Download latest source version of libtool (2.2.6b). http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/ ./configure --prefix=/opt/freeware make make install Libxml2 The AIX Linux toolbox contains version 2.6.21-2 and 2.6.21-4. It would appear that the "-2" version does not support shared libraries. I needed to rebuild this package to support shared libraries. Download source code for libxml: http://xmlsoft.org/sources/old/libxml2-2.6.30.tar.gz (see also http://bitsex.net/software/2008/php-compile-error-warning-inter-library-dependencies-are-not-known-to-be-supported/). Note that there are later versions (e.g. 2.7.6) but I was not able to get these to compile. (see also http://bitsex.net/software/2008/php-compile-error-warning-inter-library-dependencies-are-not-known-to-be-supported/). Edit configure to cope with AIX6. (1,$s/aix5\*/aix5* |aix6* /) Change PATH to point to /usr/bin ahead of /opt/freeware/bin configure --prefix=/opt/freeware \ --without-threads \ --host=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.4.0 make
make install. binutils This step is not required. Download source code for binutils-2.20 on the grounds that the version in the toolbox appears to be built for AIX 5.1. http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/ ./configure --target=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.4.0 --prefix=/opt/freeware make (and wait until this fails!) There appears to be some issue with whether configure can properly identify whether AIX has a function to generate a temporary directory. I managed to work around it by patching configure as follows. #cd binutils # diff configure configure.dist 12539c12539
---
> if test "x$ac_cv_func_mkstemp" = x""yes; then : 12541,12542c12541 < #$as_echo "#define HAVE_MKSTEMP 1" >>confdefs.h < $as_echo "#undef HAVE_MKSTEMP" >>confdefs.h ---
> $as_echo "#define HAVE_MKSTEMP 1" >>confdefs.h 12544c12543 < #fi ---

> $as_echo "#define HAVE_MKDTEMP 1" >>confdefs.h 12552c12550 < #fi ---
> fi # vi configure.patch Copy the diff from above into configure.patch #cp configure configure.dist #patch -R -i configure.patch configure (run grep MKDTEMP configure and check that the variable is undefined. If it is not, try the patch command without -R)
cd ld
./configure --disable-largefile --prefix=/opt/freeware --target=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.4.0 cd ..
./configure --target=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.4.0 make 2>&1 |tee make.log You may need to run make several times returning to the subdirectories to rerun configure. I don't understand why. PHP 5.3 Download and unpack the source code for php from http://www.php.net/downloads.php I chose the complete source code version 5.3.1
export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH You will need to use GNU make to compile PHP. Change $PATH to pick up GNU make ahead of AIX make. rpm -Uvh make-3.80-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm export PATH=/opt/freeware/bin:$PATH
/bin/sh[14]: -d: not found Edit ./configure to work with AIX 6.1 (assuming vi, :1,$s/aix5\*/aix5* | aix6*/ ) Note, without the option --host=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.4.0 configure does not know how to build shared libraries and this is fatal. I attempted to use the configuration parameters requested by the customer: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local \ --host=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.4.0 \ --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \ --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/apache2/conf --with-gd \ --with-zlib-dir=/opt/freeware/lib \ --enable-shared \ --with-png \ --with-zlib \ --with-bz2 \ --with-xml \ --with-freetype-dir=/opt/freeware/lib \ --with-jpeg-dir=/opt/freeware/lib/ \ --with-png-dir=/opt/freeware/lib/ \ --with-xpm-dir=/opt/freeware/lib/ \ --with-freetype-dir=/opt/freeware/lib/ \ 2>&1 |tee configure.log This reported the following message: Notice: Following unknown configure options were used: --with-png --with-xml Check './configure --help' for available options It would appear that these options deprecated. The solution to the above problem appears to be to add the lines --with-png-dir=/opt/freeware/lib/ \ --with-libxml-dir=/opt/freeware \
--with-xml There appears to be another problem with the config.h file below. This is a knowing PHP bug. Even though on AIX the file /usr/include/arpa/nameser_compat.h exists, there is a problem with this #define which causes compilations to fail. The proper fix is to edit ./ext/standard/dns.c. This should fix the problem during the configure phase. If you want to do this, you can refer to the PHP bug site. However, I edited the file to remove the #define as follows. Edit the file ./main/php_config.h and change #define HAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H 1 to
#define HAVE_ARPA_NAMESER_COMPAT_H 0 The make ended with an error (-D initial script) rebuilt and installed libtools and binutils THE MAKE COMPILATION ENDED WITH AN ERROR IN A SHELL SCRIPT The make command complete successfully, generating shared libraries in .libs. (Note that make install does not work). These shared libraries need to be copied over to the Apache directories manually and the Apache configuration file needs to be modified. This is described in the website http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/wikis/display/wikiptype/aixopen The next problem encountered occurred when starting Apache. Apache reported that there were symbols in the libphp5.so library which could not be satisfied on loading. The symbols were associated with the APR package h despite the fact that owever building Apache had been built with the option --with-included-apr did not seem to relieve this problem. Therefore, instead of using the internal APR functions I downloaded the external packages from the Apache website. APR and APR-utils Download the source code from the Apache website For APR:
./configure --prefix=/opt/freeware --host=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.4.0 make
make install For APR-utils: ./configure --prefix=/opt/freeware \ --with-apr=/opt/freeware \ --host=powerpc-ibm-aix6.1.4.0 make make install Finally, I rebuilt the Apache Web server: ./configure -C --enable-so --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 \ --with-apr=/opt/freeware \ --with-apr-util=/opt/freeware \ 2>&1 |tee configure.log make make install I was then able to successfully start the Web server and access the phpinfo.php page that I had created!
