I have reinstalled php56, session, mod_php56 but I hit the above error on extensions.

Anybody know how to bring my PHP SESSIONS back?

talsamon · May 23, 2015

You want install php56-gd-5.6.8. But

Code:

OPTIONS_READ=php56-5.6.5

. That seems two different versions.
I don't know if this is the reason, but I have in
/var/db/ports/lang_php56/options:

Code:

# Options for php56-5.6.7
_OPTIONS_READ=php56-5.6.7

( I cannot reproduce this error).

talsamon · May 23, 2015

After some trying (only to reproduce the error) now

Code:

OPTIONS_READ=php56-5.6.8

.
I would try deinstall php56 complete and reinstall new.
But there's another problem (only as warning):

Code:

/usr/ports/lang/php56 % sudo make install

I did a make deinstall, mv the options file and then make all install clean. Same issue

talsamon · May 23, 2015

If you need php56 you can install it with make install clean DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes. But keep in mind the vulnerabilities are not fixed yet.

tunage · May 23, 2015

Yes, I am using password_hash and need php56

same issues after reinstalling using that command.
php_sessions is still dead. same error

===> php56-extensions-1.0 depends on file: /usr/local/lib/php/20131226-zts/gd.so - not found

This library is installed on my system by lang/php56 if I set the OPTION ZTS to on. But I see other zts-libraries will be found on your system.
Maybe you have to set the OPTION GD in lang/php56-extensions to on.
Is your system "full" updated?
Does ls /usr/local/lib/php/20131226-zts/gd.so find the library?
What says pkg_libchk. (If you don't have this install sysutil/bsdadminscripts).

talsamon · May 23, 2015

Only for sure: do you have installed www/php56-session ?

Sorry, no idea. Is something in /etc/make.conf?

I am running a pure make.conf. I work with Gentoo a lot and know make.conf very well. Haven't touched it on this system,
I am running a straight from ports/source LAMP install with zero tricks.

talsamon · May 23, 2015

Maybe it's not really the proper way, but you can try install graphics/php56-gd with pkg install.
And have a look into /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini if there is the line

Code:

extension=gd.so

.

Can you try with just make clean install clean in /usr/ports/graphics/php56-gd? The all target is normally not used when building ports and may cause problems if used.

That command ran successfully. So I did the same thing on extensions, sessions and php56, they all ran successfully. Restarted Apache, same session dead error

In the moment I see nothings wrong. Have again a look into /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini. If for each extension you use is an entry, and there is no doubled entries (this can happen if you reinstall php).

After session_start(), maybe there is a function or more (usually it is) , maybe the error is in the next function (I remember on linux, there were changes - but I had no problems with it on FreeBSD).

There is only one line is the file beside the php anchors, the one line is:

Code:

session_start();

There are zero lines of code following or in front that line.

Code:

<?php session_start(); ?>

is the entire script.

I did have to add the sessions module to the end of extensions.ini, but that was a while ago.

Code:

[\u@vader:/usr/ports/www/mod_php56] # cat /usr/local/etc/php/extensions.ini
extension=ctype.so
extension=dom.so
extension=filter.so
extension=hash.so
extension=iconv.so

Solved.
I uninstalled all of PHP and then re-installed via pkg, made sure all modules loaded via php -m including sessions (made sure it was removed and re-install), restarted Apache and now all is well.

No clue exactly but first clue was a missing libphp5.so from the apache24 directory.

I got lucky.
