[Leaplist] Re: Leaplist Digest, Vol 38, Issue 4

[Reid Martin]

Issue Resolved, it was an error on the server administration's part. By the
way, I am the server admin.

My server is a Godaddy virtual dedicated server with cPanel/WHM setup as the
configuring application. After contacting cPanel support (someone on this
mailing list pointed this out to me) I was successful in setting the proper
configuration to enable PHP-XSL.

Thanks to all that suggested solutions or provided comments.

BTW, Fedora 7 is three (3) full revisions End-of-Life (EOL).
You don't want to be running it at all.  I cannot stress this enough.

If you want Fedora Core 6 - Fedora 7 era packages, then
you should be running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 5
(EL5).  EL5 Server subscriptions with unlimited incident
support and up to four (4) virtual guest support are only
$349/year:  
  https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/server/  

If you operate in-the-black, I recommend supporting not only
yourself with incident support, not only EL "rebuilds," but ongoing,
upstream contributions by funding Red Hat as others do.

If this is a personal system that you just use for development,
then there is the $99/year subscription option that comes with
the "kitchen sink" of all Red Hat platform and middleware software
(think of it as "Red Hat's MSDN"), Developer Studio Portfolio Ed:    
  https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/developers/jboss_developer_studio.html  

If you operate in-the-red, or this is a personal system and you really
don't want to fork out any money, then consider an EL5 rebuild like
CentOS5:  
  http://www.centos.org/  

The only concerns with rebuilds is that security patches are delayed,
as Red Hat releases the SRPMS and then they are rebuild by the
various projects.  But some have good turnarounds.

-- Bryan

P.S.  You can always purchase a Red Hat subscription and then
switch to CentOS after a year if you don't see the value.  You can
also request a free, 30-day RHN entitlement to try it out.  The RHN
entitlement is just to access RHN for updates.  Red Hat has never
and will never disable or otherwise time-limit software.

Many times it's just a matter of enabling the modules in the SPEC file
and firing off rpmbuild -bb on it.  I stick with stock distro RPMs as much
as possible, and that includes always re-building from the SRPMS,
patching as necessary.  It's none-too-difficult and is a very sustainable
approach that one will benefit from knowing in an enterprise environment.

If the modules compiled into the PHP that was supplied in the distribution
are missing the one that you need, you'll have no choice but to remove the
PHP package and compile your own PHP that contains what you need.

I've been through this and the only pitfalls that I've found were if you
already have something in the current system that is depending on the
modules in the PHP rpm you are currently using is dependent on.

If that is the case, you have to maintain two versions of PHP on the same
machine which is much more of a challenge than having a single version that
is the one you want.

Good luck!
