SQLAnywhere PHP module installation on Ubuntu

[Former Member]

What is the recommened way to install ASA PHP 5.3.10 on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit?

I've tried the following:

• Sourcing sa_confing.sh before apache2 starts is not an option, source is not a recognized command, simply executing the script works only in shell mode, but only for the current user
• Tryed with /etc/ld.so.conf/sqlanywhere.conf where I put /opt/sqlanywhere12/lib64, now I'm getting an other error:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: in Unknown on line 0

• I followed these instructions, but nothing seems to work

How can I solve this problem?

Hi Marko, I've successfully installed the PHP module on Ubuntu using the following whitepaper: http://www.sybase.com/detail?id=1057714 . Please note you don't necessarily need to compile the PHP module yourself, there are precompiled extensions available here: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-40537

Can you tell me, where did you put the library path configuration? .conf, .ini or something...

Which version of the PHP driver are you using? The web site that Mikel referred to has the latest version, so you should try that first, just in case it's a bug that's already been fixed.

I added two lines to /etc/apache2/envvars:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”/opt/sqlanywhere16/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH”

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
