how do I do that?

in the php-sourcedir type: ./configure --help

should be something like ./configure --enable-curl

then if no errors occur: make
then : make install (as root)

This is on linux, not sure about freebsd

but do i have to also type the other stuff when i first compiled it? like include apache, gd, ssl, mysql, all that crap?

it's --with-curl
everything all on one line - you can break the lines up with a backslash. eg

Code:

./configure --enable-dom \
--enable-versioning \
--with-cli \
--disable-cgi \
--with-layout=GNU \
--with-config-file-scan-dir=/usr/local/etc/php \
--disable-all \
--enable-libxml \
--with-libxml-dir=/usr/local \
--enable-reflection \
--enable-spl \
--program-prefix="" \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs \
--prefix=/usr \
--with-xml \
--enable-bcmath \
--enable-calendar \
--with-curl \
--enable-exif \
--enable-ftp \
--with-gd \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6 \
--with-gettext \
--with-imap \
--with-imap-ssl \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-mhash \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--with-mysqli=/usr/local/bin/mysql_config \
--with-mysql=/usr/local \
--with-openssl \
--enable-discard-path \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-pear \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-track-vars \
--with-ttf \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-xmlrpc \
--with-zip \
--with-zlib \
--with-pcre-regex \
--enable-xml \
--with-regex=php \
--with-zend-vm=CALL \
--prefix=/usr/local

Hey, I saw that you accidentally submitted an Autoblogger Pro support ticket with this question, too. I think you meant to submit it to your hosting provider.

Have them hit me up if they have any questions, but I doubt they will. Good luck to you, man, and let me know if I can help in any way.

It was no accident. I dont really get hosting support with this server. I cant install ABP without this, which is the reason I'm trying to do it in the first place.

Ah, okay, my mistake! I couldn't image why someone would be contacting us about support for their server. Sorry to hear that your host doesn't support your server configuration, that must be frustrating.

We'll help you for free as much as we possibly can, just because we're slick like that, but it will be outside of the actual support for Autoblogger itself, as server upgrades and software configuration obviously isn't part of that.

How are things coming along, with getting PHP to see that cURL is installed? Did you follow the suggestions in this thread so far?

**Mr Pheer** · 01-21-2007, 11:40 AM

looks like i got lucky and actually found a server tech on sunday

disregard, got the guy fixing it

Okay, I just replied to your ticket anyway.

If he can't get it solved, let's try getting on the phone to see what we can find. I'll give you as much of my personal time as you need, with the understanding that it's not an "Autoblogger/Relink" thing -- as we'd ask that customer's servers comply with at least the minimum requirements ... but my PERSONAL time, I'm more than happy to give you whenever any of our customers need it!

Let me know what happens .. I have dinner with the girlfriend's parents, but I can stay home to help if you need me to.

I didn't even have to open the thread to know what you needed it for.

I had to do the same thing a few weeks back. My girlfriend figured it out.

**Mr Pheer** · 01-21-2007, 12:54 PM

I moved it to a differnt server, one of my gotwebhost machines

I have 5 servers
1 with Hosting Company A
2 with Hosting Company B
2 with Got Web Host

the gotwebhost machines are pretty much setup with everything I needed from the start, I should have checked them first.

**Mr Pheer** · 01-21-2007, 01:01 PM

god damn... that shit was easy to setup on a machine with everything working

Thanks -- I wrote the installer to work very easily on machines that are either pre-vetted to work (i.e., comply with all requirements) or are simply installed/configured well. It's a fairly slick process, I think you'll find, throughout not only the install, but also the actual functionality. I would definitely recommend the README and INSTALL documents, which we'll likely be updating soon to pack them with more information.

When I do my PHP installation to make it easier I do everything in a little shell script. If you want, hit me up on ICQ I will help you out. Not looking for anything in return. Just helping a brother out!

Weird. For me, it's usually CPanel and things like it that fuck shit like this up in the first place.

Ok - lets just say it take me longer to kill a server with WHM than it does with SSH -

Great stuff, but I install from FreeBSD ports - so I keep all my options in a flatfile. Only ever needed it to go from php4->5.

Great idea though because it's oh so easy to forget an option and have to recompile and install again if it's not available as an extension

how do I recompile PHP to include cURL?
