FreeBSD 10: Installing Apache 2.4, MySQL 5.5, and PHP5.5 — Missing libphp5.so
Continuing my quest with FreeBSD.
Today, I was installing Apache 2.4, MySQL 5.5, and PHP 5.5 (php55-5.5.11) on newly installed system. I've done this kind of installation many times on Linux so I didn't expect much of problems. Boy, I was wrong...
Apache and MySQL installation were straight forward and had no problem. After PHP installation, I couldn't find libphp5.so in /usr/local/libexec/apache24/! A little googling found articles/forums on older version of FAMP. They said its installation should be automatic or "Build Apache module" option needs to be selected, which I did not have such an option any where.
Then one thread mentioned something about configuring php conf file. So, I opened Makefile for PHP55:
# vim Makefile
-------------------------------------
...
OPTIONS_DEFINE+=APACHE CLI CGI FPM...
OPTIONS_DEFAULT=APACHE CLI CGI FPM...
Compiled PHP55 again:
# make install config
===> php55-5.5.11 doesn't install the Apache module anymore: update your OPTIONS
and build www/mod_php55 port instead.
*** Error code 1
Aha! www/mod_php55. I wonder if php installation didn't install mod_php55 but now I know what I need to do:
# cd /usr/local/www/mod_php55/
# make install clean
...
--- Zend/zend_dtrace_gen.h
dtrace: failed to compile script /usr/ports/www/mod_php55/work/php-5.5.11/Zend/zend_dtrace.d: line 30: failed to resolve INP_IPV4: Unknown variable name
...
Hmm... I wonder if this was causing php55 installation to fail creating libphp5.so. Well, another googling found a suggestion/solution to load the dtraceall module:
# kldload dtraceall
# echo 'dtraceall_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
Now, mod_php55 was successfully installed as well as libphp5.so!
Here is the whole steps to install apache, mysql, and php:

Apache 2.4 - Installation and Configuration:
# cd /usr/ports/www/apache24/
# make install clean
Edit /etc/rc.conf to make the Apache server will start automatically at system boot.
# vim /etc/rc.conf
-------------------------------------
apache24_enable="YES"
Test the Apache server installation using the following command:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache24 start
MySQL - Installation and Configuration:
# cd /usr/ports/databases/mysql55-server/
# make install clean
Start MySQL
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server onestart
Update /etc/rc.conf
# vim /etc/rc.conf
-------------------------------------
mysql_enable="YES"
Set root password
# rehash
# mysqladmin -uroot password '<password>'
Create my.cnf
# cp /usr/local/share/mysql/my-small.cnf /etc/my.cnf
Restart mysql
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server restart
PHP Installation and Configuration:
Here is the moment of truth. First, load the dtraceall kernel module, update the /boot/loader.conf file, and then install php55.
# kldload dtraceall
# echo 'dtraceall_load="YES"' >> /boot/loader.conf
# cd /usr/ports/lang/php55
# make install clean
Check to see if libphp5.so is there
# ls /usr/local/libexec/apache24/
httpd.exp mod_include.so
mod_access_compat.so mod_info.so
...
Nope, it's not there. Then manually compile www/mod_php55/
# cd /usr/ports/www/mod_php55/
# make install clean
Now, check to see if libphp5.so is there again
# ls /usr/local/libexec/apache24/
httpd.exp mod_include.so
libphp5.so mod_info.so
...
Copy the PHP configuration file
# cp /usr/local/etc/php.ini-production /usr/local/etc/php.ini
Edit /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf file and add the following lines
# vim /usr/local/etc/apache24/httpd.conf
-------------------------------------
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
Add the following line under the LoadModule section if it's not there
LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache24/libphp5.so
Edit the DirectoryIndex section
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
Now restart the apache server
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache24 restart
Let's see now if it can show a php page
# vim /usr/local/www/apache24/data/index.php
-------------------------------------
< ?php phpinfo(); ?>
Voilà! It's working now!
That's all!

Might want to check /usr/ports/UPDATING before Google next time. This was documented in UPDATING ages ago.
@risc,
Thanks for your tip! I’ll check there next time when I have issues.
-gibb
Da, mcy also for your tip.
May you should also know to tell us how to search “PHP not staring in Apache24 on FreeBSD” in that /usr/ports/UPDATING – UPDATING ages ago, as it took me almost two days to find this answer for installation.
Very clever anyway.
I think you got typo;)
# cd /usr/local/www/mod_php55/ should be /usr/ports/www/mod_php55 ?
I think so too. It took me hours to figured it out ’cause I`m new to FreeBSD. 🙂
For those of you using source, checkout these steps –

You help been most helpful
Fixed my problem working great – except when I run “pkg upgrade” now it wants to install “apache22”. I am running apache24-2.4.9_2, mysql56-server-5.6.19, and php55-5.5.13. I just skip installing the “apache22” thru the “pkg upgrade”. “pkg upgrade” also wanted “php-filter” installed now too, which I installed with no issues.
if you build from ports, setting DEFAULT_VERSIONS in your make.conf solves this problem. for example:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=php=5.6 postgresql=9.3 apache=2.4DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=python=2.7 python2=2.7
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=ruby=2.0
(note the “+=”) This is also documented in UPDATING
Not sure if pkg respects this variable.
Thank you very much! I couldn’t have done that php working without your post.
From Russia with gratitude.
Many Thanks, from Taiwan’s gratitude same.
Thanks for the post. Its really good.
But cd /usr/local/www/mod_php55/ should be /usr/ports/www/mod_php55 for me too.
Cheers 🙂
