For ubuntu 14.04: Installation steps are:

sudo apt-get install php-pear php5-dev libgmp-dev libpcre3-dev g++ make cmake libssl-dev openssl
wget downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/dependencies/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
wget downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/dependencies/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv-dev_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb

wget downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/cassandra/v2.4.2/cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.4.2-1_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libuv_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libuv-dev_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver_2.4.2-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.4.2-1_amd64.deb

pecl install cassandra

ADD extension=cassandra.so in php.ini

restart the PHP process

Answer 2

For the Docker's official PHP machine:

cd /tmp

apt-get install php-pear php5-dev libgmp-dev libpcre3-dev g++ make cmake libssl-dev openssl

php -r '$files = ["http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/dependencies/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb", "http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/dependencies/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv-dev_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb", "http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/v2.3.0/cassandra-cpp-driver_2.3.0-1_amd64.deb", "http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/v2.3.0/cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.3.0-1_amd64.deb"]; foreach($files as $file) { copy($file, basename($file)); }'

dpkg -i libuv_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libuv-dev_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver_2.3.0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.3.0-1_amd64.deb

pecl install cassandra

echo 'extension=cassandra.so' > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/php-ext-cassandra.ini

Then restart the container (docker-compose restart ~~image~fpm~~).

for cantos Casandra 2.4.3 was deprecated, I updated perivious post:

sudo yum update

pushd /tmp
wget http://dist.libuv.org/dist/v1.8.0/libuv-v1.8.0.tar.gz

Answer 4

I tried installing cassandra driver for php on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS for PHP 5.5.9 using php-driver and cpp-driver as follows,

sudo apt-get install g++ clang make cmake libuv-dev libssl-dev git;
git clone https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver.git
mkdir cpp-driver/build
cd cpp-driver/build
cmake ..
make

and then,

sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev php5 php5-dev openssl libpcre3-dev
pecl install cassandra

But got an error,

checking for supported DataStax C/C++ driver version... nawk: cannot open /include/cassandra.h (No such file or directory)
configure: error: not supported. Driver version 2.4.2+ required (found )
ERROR: /tmp/pear/temp/cassandra/configure' failed

after coping,

cp cpp-driver/include/cassandra.h /usr/include/

again got another one,

checking for cass_cluster_new in -lcassandra... no
configure: error: Unable to load libcassandra
ERROR: /tmp/pear/temp/cassandra/configure' failed

After doing lot of research, I got following simple solution,

sudo wget http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/dependencies/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo wget http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/dependencies/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv-dev_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo wget http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/cassandra/v2.5.0/cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.5.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo wget http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/cassandra/v2.5.0/cassandra-cpp-driver_2.5.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libuv_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libuv-dev_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.5.0-1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver_2.5.0-1_amd64.deb

Then just copy and enable extension,

sudo vim /etc/php5/mods-available/cassandra.ini
extension=cassandra.so;
php5enmod cassandra

Answer 6

This works for me on Debian Jessie

apt-get remove libuv0.10-dev
git clone https://github.com/libuv/libuv.git
cd libuv
git reset --hard v1.19.1
sh autogen.sh
./configure
make
make check
sudo make install

git clone https://github.com/datastax/php-driver.git
cd php-driver
git submodule update --init
cd ext
./install.sh

vi /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
Add extension=cassandra.so
php -i | grep cassandra
