I have PHP installed and running (version: 5.3.17) and I want to switch to mysqlnd (in the phpinfo mysqlnd does not exist at all).
I read that in order to set it, you need to update the ./configure
command:
./configure --with-mysql=mysqlnd \
--with-mysqli=mysqlnd \
--with-pdo-mysql=mysqlnd \
When I tried installing it with yum install php-mysqlnd
I get an error:
---> Package php-mysqlnd.x86_64 0:5.3.17-1.26.amzn1 will be installed
--> Processing Conflict: php-mysql-5.3.17-1.26.amzn1.x86_64 conflicts php-mysqlnd
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: php-mysql conflicts with php-mysqlnd
The ./configure
command is part of the compilation process from source code.
You can either compile from source or install via package manager. I guess in your case the package manager is preferable.
As the package manager complains, you can’t have both php-mysql
and php-mysqlnd
installed.
So you can
yum remove php-mysql
before
yum install php-mysqlnd
Then check for success via
php -m | grep mysqlnd
or
php -i | grep mysqlnd
yum install php-mysqlnd
is only available on CentALT and maybe remi repos. Webtatic also has some good php repos as well. It is NOT on the default ones (I was using CentOS).
yum swap php-mysql php-mysqlnd
Don't know if i understand you right....
Simply download the source of php (php-5.x.x.tar.gz), unzip the source and change to that directory then
bash:/dir/of/your/source # ./configure --with-mysql=... and your other config params
after that just make it by
bash:/dir/of/your/source # sudo make && make install
As of PHP 5.4, the mysqlnd library is a php.net compile time default to all PHP MySQL extensions. - Ref: dev.mysql.com
it would be a little easier to use XAMPP for Linux 1.8.1(it comes with PHP 5.4.7) then compiling from source.
