In my testing to get phpBB 3.0.4 to install correctly with PHP 5.3.0RC2, I finally found the culprit causing it to abort during the requirements phase of installation!<\/p>\n
$install->load()\u00a0 would create an install_install module and then load that, which eventually got to the get_available_dbms function call which would then call <\/span> can_load_dll if a particular DBMS extension was not available.\u00a0 Part of that function is a call to dl() to attempt to load a shared object during runtime. <\/span><\/p>\n Only problem is that dl() was not defined and thus it would encounter a fatal error.\u00a0 It wasn’t available in the php-cgi binary I built!\u00a0 Additionally, it wouldn’t display this fatal error because the call is made with error suppression.\u00a0 (I.E: @dl(‘stuff’); ) So to conclude: phpBB 3.0.4 doesn’t install when dl() is not a defined function.\u00a0 Here is my configuration line for this build of PHP 5.3.0RC2<\/p>\n .\/configure ‘–enable-fastcgi’ ‘–with-zlib’ ‘–with-bz2’ ‘–with-mysql’ ‘–enable-memory-limit’ ‘–enable-exif’ ‘–with-openssl’ ‘–enable-mbstring’ ‘–with-gd’ ‘–with-mcrypt’ ‘–enable-soap’ ‘–enable-sockets’ ‘–with-pear’ ‘–with-curl’ ‘–enable-force-cgi-redirect’ ‘–prefix=\/php5.3.0RC2’ ‘–enable-debug’<\/p>\n Aside from this hiccup, most of the forum seems to be working as expected.\u00a0 (Though, there hasn’t been much testing of course.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In my testing to get phpBB 3.0.4 to install correctly with PHP 5.3.0RC2, I finally found the culprit causing it to abort during the requirements phase of installation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":290,"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions\/290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rrbits.com\/epb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
