apache+sqlite+php for Arm Linux

After several days of hard work, I finally built an apache+sqlite+php platform on the arm-linux platform.

There are a lot of information about apche and sqlite on the Internet, but there are very few about php for arm-linux. It took a lot of time to install php on the arm platform. So I will post the installation process here, hoping it will be helpful to everyone.

Sqlite for Arm Linux Installation

1. Download sqlite3.3.8: Please go to http://www.sqlite.org/download.html, unzip the downloaded code package, and the sqlite3.3.8 directory will be generated.

2. Modify the configure file and comment out the following statement

#if test "$cross_compiling" = "yes"; then

# { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO:: error: unable to find a compiler for building build tools" >&5#echo "$as_me: error: unable to find a compiler for building build tools" >&2;}

# { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }

#fi

. . .

#else

# test "$cross_compiling" = yes &&

# { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO:: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling" >&5

#echo "$as_me: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling" >&2;}

# { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }

. . .

#else

# test "$cross_compiling" = yes &&

# { { echo "$as_me:$LINENO:: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling" >&5

#echo "$as_me: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling" >&2;}

# { (exit 1); exit 1; }; }

3. Configuration

./configure –prefix=/data0/sqlite --disable-tcl --host=arm-linux

4. Modify the Makefile

Change BCC = arm-linux-gcc -g -O2 to BCC = gcc -g -O2

5. Modify the Makefile file and compile the sqlite3 program as a statically linked library

First you need to add libsqlite3.a compilation

Then sqlite3$(TEXE): $(TOP)/src/shell.c .libs/libsqlite3.la sqlite3.h

Change to lite3$(TEXE): $(TOP)/src/shell.c .libs/libsqlite3.a sqlite3.h

-o $@ $(TOP)/src/shell.c .libs/libsqlite3.la

Change to -o $@ $(TOP)/src/shell.c .libs/libsqlite3.a

6. Make

7. #arm-linux-strip sqlite3

8. Upload sqlite3 to the terminal

9. Sqlite3 program test

sqlite3 test

,if you see the following messages:

SQLite version 3.3.8

Enter ".help" for instructions

sqlite>

input some commands to do something,

sqlite> create table tbl(one varchar(10),two smallint);

sqlite> insert into tbl values('hello',10);

sqlite> insert into tbl values('goodbye',20);

sqlite> .quit

10. Test C program

argv[i] ? argv[i] : "NULL") 
; 
}  printf  ("n"  ) ; return 0; } 
int main(int argc, char **argv  ){  sqlite3 *db  ;  char *zErrMsg = 0;  int  rc;  if( argc != 3 ){  fprintf  (stderr, "Usage :  %s DATABASE SQL-STATEMENTn", argv[0]);  exit(1);  }  rc = sqlite3_open(argv[1], &db);  if( rc ){  fprintf(stderr, "Can't open database: %sn", sqlite3_errmsg(db));  sqlite3_close(db);  exit(1);  }  rc = sqlite3_exec(db, argv[2], callback, 0, &zErrMsg);  if( rc !=SQLITE_OK ){  fprintf(stderr, "SQL error: %sn", zErrMsg);  sqlite3_free(zErrMsg);  }  sqlite3_close(db);  return 0;  }

#arm-linux-gcc test.c -L.libs -lsqlite3 –static

#arm-linux-strip a.out

Upload the a.out program to the terminal and execute

#a.out test "select * from tbl"

one = hello

two = 10

one = goodbye

two = 20

Apache Server for ARM Linux

1. Download apache_1.3.39.tar.gz from http://www.apache.org/  , unzip it into a directory, and then change to the apache_1.3.39 directory.

2. Use local gcc to compile this version and run:

./configure

After make is completed, no make install is needed

3. Then create a new directory for compiling the arm version, unzip apache_1.3.39.tar.gz in that directory, go to apache_1.3.39 in that directory, and run:

export CC="arm-linux-gcc"

./configure --prefix=/data0/apache/ --without-execstrip --enable-module=so

Then run the make command. The compilation will fail at apache_1.3.39/src/main/gen_test_char because the arm version of the program cannot run on the local machine. You need to overwrite the arm version with the previously compiled local version of apache_1.3.39/src/main/gen_test_char, and then switch to the arm version of apache_1.3.39 to continue make. Then compile another program apache_1.3.39/src/main/gen_uri_delims and the same problem will occur. Use the local version to overwrite it and continue make until the compilation is successful.

4. --prefix=/data0/apache / specifies the installation directory as /data0/apache/. Run make install. All compiled arm version apache programs are installed in the /data0/apache/ directory. Compress this directory, upload it to the terminal, and then modify the conf/httpd.conf configuration file.

5. Note that you need to modify conf/httpd.conf and add ServerName  www.willfar-ertu.com:80 . Otherwise, a warning will be reported when starting the service: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

6. Execute the following command to determine whether Apache is installed successfully.  http://IP:80  If the Apache description page is displayed, it means that the installation is successful. If a 403 error message appears, please confirm whether the Apache directory permission is 755, including the parent directory of Apache.

PHP for ARM Linux

1. Download php-4.4.8.tar.gz from http://www.php.net  , unzip it, and then go to the php-4.4.8 directory.

2. export CC="arm-linux-gcc"

3. Modify the configure file and comment out the cross-compilation error handling, for example:

#if test "$cross_compiling" = yes; then

# { echo "configure: error 7: can not run test program while cross compiling" 1>&2; exit 1; }

#else

4 ./configure --prefix=/data0/php --with-apxs=/data0/apache/bin/apxs --enable-pdo=shared --with-sqlite=shared --with-pdo-sqlite=shared --with-zlib --host=arm-linux --enable-track-vars --with-xml

5. When executing ./configure, some errors will be reported. According to the error prompts, modify the configure file to comment out the error handling until it succeeds.

6. Modify the Makefile file and change

EXTRA_LIBS = -lcrypt -l -lcrypt -lz -lm -lcrypt –lcrypt

Replace with

at http://ip/index.php , it means PHP is installed successfully.
