Hey Guys, I just grabbed 0.5.4 off the home page and tried to throw it up but I am hitting a Snag...

# php StartBot.php

[Splash Screen]

# BeBot requires PHP version 5.2.0 or later to work.

# php -version
PHP 5.2.6 (cli) (built: May 7 2008 10:17:07)
Copyright (c) 1997-2008 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2008 Zend Technologies

I'm not super good at unix, so Can someone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks!

I just noticed this:

When i start both the 5.4 Version of my Bots, and the old 4.2 Versions, they both display this on the Splash Screen:

v.0.4.2 - PHP 5.1.4

v.0.5.4.svn(snapshot) - PHP 5.1.4

Could it be a variable I do not have set right somewhere?

you might have more than 1 install and its useing the wrong 1

I think that is the case ...

I just went to /usr/local/php5/bin and did a ./php -version and it kicked out 5.1.

Any idea where PHP would install if I did a YUM Update on a Fedora 5 system?

In your first post you show a php 5.2 version output without any path.

Simply try which php to get the path to that php.

That worked!

Seems it installed to /usr/bin/php. This is a very nifty command, thanks for showing it to me!

Now it's saying "MySQL support required to run this bot"

I'm trying to use the same Database as the original 4.2 Bot - Do I also need a new version of MySQL?

P.s. I thought this would be helpful to show:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 3 to server version: 5.0.22

Server should work. You need to make sure that php got either compiled with mysql enabled or you include the mysql library in your php.ini.

Should be something like mysql.so, but no clue about the path.

Or maybe you haven't installed it, not sure what the packages for fedora contain.

I'm so Confused

I Uninstalled the PHP 5.2 that got Installed with YUM since I didn't know how to install it with options and downloaded PHP 5.2.6 and decided to deploy it by hand...

I did this all before when I setup 4.x but now it's killing me.

When I launch Bebot I get:
Sockets extention required to run this bot

When I configured PHP I used the following script:

cd /usr/local/src/php-5.2.6
make distclean
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/php52/ \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
--with-xsl \
--with-gdbm \
--with-gd \
--with-aokex
--with-gmp=/usr/local/lib \
--with-freetype=/usr/include/freetype/ \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/include \
--with-ttf \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-bcmath

Then did a MAKE then MAKE INSTALL

And Now I'm like dead in the water and sad

I'd recommend going back to the yum packaged version, but that's me.

Personally, I use Ubuntu so I'm not sure on what you need to do to get things working on Fedora. I looked a bit, and it seems you may need to do something like:

yum install php php-extras

If you switch to Ubuntu I can tell you exactly what packages you need to install to make BeBot work.
