PHP / Oracle support (8/9) under Redhat 9

[Robert Mena]

Hi,

I am planning to migrate my current web server from
redhat 7.x to 9 and I am currently evaluating what may
go wrong or need special attention before I actually
replace it.

After searching the archives and other lists I still
have a couple of questions :

a) apache

It seems that apache + php does not work well under
heavy load so I should stick with 1.3.X right ? Any
ideas where I can find a rpm package for redhat 9 ?

b) oracle support

For the current setup I've downloaded and installed
the oracle 8i (8.1.5) in a separate machine, tar.gz
the lib directory in order to compile and run php with
oracle 8i.

Is this the best approach for Redhat 9 or should I try
to install oracle 9 which hopefully may have a
devel-only option ? Note that php needs to access
external oracle 8 servers which I do not mantain.

Regards.

Yes, stick with apache-1.3.x
Latest 1.3.x version RPM from Red Hat for RH 7.3 is apache-1.3.27-2.i386.rpm

I'm using the latest RH 7.1 apache RPM in a RH 9 and runs ok, which is
apache-1.3.27-1.7.1

Latest PHP version for RH 7.1 is php-4.1.2-7.1.6
For RH 9 it's php-4.2.2-17, I guess there should be no problem in running
that version with the apache-1.3.x from RH 7.x

Regards,

Juan

i don't know about that. i'm running an extremely high traffic website
with apache + php + linux and it's a total champ. we've got 6 compaq
dl380's (dual xeon 2.8ghz, 4G ram) behind a load balancer and so far there
hasn't been a single apache/php failure that wasn't caused by me doing
something stupid (like writing an infinite loop in php).

we're using apache 2.0.47 (prefork model), php 4.3.1, redhat 7.3, mysql 4.0.12.

Hi Juan,

But I'd need to compile php with oracle support.

Do you have any experience with this setup ? RH9 + PHP
with oracle support ?

Regards.
