installing php53-mysql does not help

It doesn’t matter if you have `php53-mysql` installed; `mythweb.27` still wants the obsolete `php5-mysql`. The maintainer should fix this. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45117#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Yesterday, I ran "sudo port self update", etc, and when all was done, myth web was broken - the website could not be found. To see if reinstalling myth web would fix it, I tried "sudo port uninstall mythweb", followed by "sudo port install myth web". At this point, the installer failed as indicated above. Mythbackend and mythfrontend both seem to be working correctly(I virtually never use mythfrontend - I use XBMC and mythweb). I would be happy to transition to the packaged installer, but am apprehensive that doing so in the circumstances would be risky and certainly not straightforward. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45117#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

However, certain aspects of the configuration and setup need to be changed or re-done to match. Could you please try the following steps and let me know if there are any problems: 0) Stop the Apache2 server, if running {{{ sudo port unload apache2 }}} 1) Register PHP 5.4 with Apache In Terminal, enter: {{{ cd /opt/local/apache2/modules sudo /opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs -a -e -n "php5" mod_php54.so }}} 2) Edit Apache's httpd.conf In '/opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf' verify that mod_php54.so module will be loaded. You should find the following line already added by the command in step 1) above. {{{ LoadModule php5_module modules/mod_php54.so }}} If you find a line like the following, delete it or comment it out: {{{ LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so }}} 3) Set up your PHP 5.4 configuration files We'll cheat and reuse the config file created for php5 {{{ sudo cp -np /opt/local/etc/php5/php.ini /opt/local/etc/php54/php.ini }}} 4) Restart Apache2 {{{ sudo port load apache2 }}} With luck, MythWeb should be back up! If these steps work out correctly for you, I'll update the wiki page and point others to that. And update MythWeb.{25|26} in similar fashion. BTW, I had always believed that MythWeb could be installed on a machine that did NOT have Myth installed. Turns out that is not true so I've fixed that, too. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45117#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

As far as I know there haven't been any major changes in the MacPorts Perl or Python ports lately (though discussions continue), however the PHP ports are mine, and I apologize for the lack of specific notification about finally replacing the old php5 ports, but note that the php53 ports which were designed to replace them have been available since May 2012 already. I got tired of maintaining duplicate sets of PHP ports for years and decided that the recent release of the absolutely last ever version of PHP 5.3.x provided a good time to finally force this switch on those who had not yet done so.

Sorry Ryan, I was mainly just venting. I had to update from Perl 5.12 and Python 2.4. I had hoped to hold off on these changes until Myth 0.28 was released. The Myth release is, however, now months behind their original timetable and MacPorts is 'pushing' me to make 'busy work' changes to a functioning system. Myth is a pretty hairy beast and so lot's of people let it run for years without touching it.

If possible (i.e. assuming mythweb does not specifically require only PHP 5.4.x), please offer variants so the user can choose whether they want to use php53, php54, php55 or php56. I would suggest the default among those should be the latest stable version, currently php56.

I cannot locate any reports about MythWeb running successfully with PHP 5.6--5.4 is known to work OK. MythWeb is also going away. The project is moving to an internal web server and modern replacement for MythWeb. Myth 0.28 will include a preliminary version of the new internal server. In 0.29, MythWeb is supposed to be gone. I _could_ offer variants for: * SQL: mysql51, mysql55, mariadb * Perl: perl5.16, perl5.20 * Python: py26, py27 * PHP: php53, php54 The problem is support--I can't possibly test all the permutations. I provide detailed, cookbook-style setup and configuration instructions via the Myth wiki. Even so, I get lots of reported problems that boil down to people missing a step. I haven't got the capacity to handle any more complications.

I see you added a dependency on the php54-apache2handler port. Is it absolutely necessary to run this under the PHP Apache module, or would the PHP CGI or FPM SAPI running under nginx or lighttpd or other web server also work (as it would for most PHP-based web sites)? If any PHP-capable web server would work, then you'll want to use the forthcoming ${php}-web metaport instead; keep an eye on #45008 for that.

Thanks for pointing out that ticket. I know MythWeb is reported to work with both nginx and lighthttpd but, as above, the package is going away. If you want to continue this on the -dev or -users mailing lists, that's fine with me... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45117#comment:10> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Browser still can't connect, unfortunately.

The machine you're running MythWeb on has a working mythbackend (0.27) and the MySQL database, right? Please copy/paste the exact error message. What does 'ps -Ax |grep httpd' report? Check the Apache logs at '/opt/local/apache2/logs' to see if they give us any clues.

Are you contemplating providing instructions to transition to your new installer, for people who have existing installations?

Not really. There are some people using MacPorts for other reasons that will want to install Myth. Once you've got MacPorts, XCode and Myth installed, there is no good reason to the all-in-one .dmg installer. For one thing, you have to be very careful with the PATH to ensure you get the version you really wanted. Plus, you can use MacPorts to install other useful software like MPlayer, mediainfo, etc. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45117#comment:12> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

The only error I am aware of is Safari saying "safari can't connect to the server".

...

What does 'ps -Ax |grep httpd' report? Blank response.

So Apache is not running. That's why Safari cannot connect to it.

and I got {{{ httpd: Syntax error on line 486 of /opt/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /opt/local/apache2/conf/extra/mod_php.conf: No such file or directory }}} Don't know where to go from here.

So your httpd.conf is trying to include a file that doesn't exist, that's why Apache isn't starting. With php54-apache2handler, the file mod_php.conf has been renamed; it's now called mod_php54.conf. (You can learn this by using the command "`port contents php54-apache2handler`".) Please update your httpd.conf accordingly. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45117#comment:14> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
