JBossDeveloper

I am setting up PHP on JBossAS 4.2.2 on my desktop at home. So far, I am at the same point you are - I did the same steps, and am getting the same error. I am now trying to figure out what I did at work (where I have this running) that was different from what I have done so far.

I could go to work and find out, but considering that I am on vacation this week and next, I really do not want to. I will search the forums because I know the answer is out there - I just have to find it. If all else fails, I run to work with my USB key and bring the working configuration home for analysis. Which reminds me, I do have to water my plants, maybe I'll go tomorrow.

Regarding jbossweb-extras.jar, put it in server/xxx/lib. I would get that file from the php-examples.war file from the PHP modules download.

By the way, if you are using the php-examples.war file to see if php works, you do not need to change the web.xml and service.xml files in jboss-web.deployer, nor do you have to place jbossweb-extras.jar in the server/xxx/lib directory. But doing so does not hurt anything.

I got my php setup from work and have it running at home. The difference is that I used an older version of the php-related code. With the old code, you had to use the old package name, org.apache.catalina.servlets.php, instead of the new package name: org.jboss.web.php.

I examined the php5servlet.dll files. In both cases (the working setup from work and the non-working setup at home), the file has the same date - 9/11/2006. Examining that file with a hex editor, I will give you two guesses as to which package name it is using for the SAPI file. That's right, it is using the old name (org.apache.catalina.servlets.php).

The page http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossweb/freezone/modules/php/index.html has a link to the source code for php5servlet.dll (it is frustrating to find that most of the links on that page are broken - I get a "Sorry, you don't have access to this resource" error). I downloaded the source and it uses the new package name. Now I just have to get a compiler (never had one at home), or go back to work to compile the source.

I looked at the links on the download page http://labs.jboss.com/jbossweb/downloads/php/?action=a&windowstate=maximized. The windows download has version number 1.0.0.GA-SP1, while the others have 1.0.2. In addition, the url used for the windows download is very different from the other downloads. This leads me to believe that the windows download link was never updated to reference the latest build. It would be nice if someone on the JBoss team updated that link so that we can download the correct PHP module, with the latest php5servlet.dll.

Eureka!

I rebuilt the php5servlet.dll (had to install Visual C++ Express and the platform SDK, the source for PHP, and make various modifications in the makefile 'cuz it was looking in very unusual locations for the php include files), placed the php5servlet.dll in my bin/native directory, fired up JBossAS, and now the PHP examples are running.

Time for a beer break!!!

I tried adding the DLL to the JBoss Web wiki, but after logging in, when I click on the "attach" link, I get the following output:

ERROR

There is lack of page name or page name should be uppercase

Peter/nitzan,

I was hoping to get a hand from you. I am trying to get jboss-portal-2.6.3.GA to work with php.

My PHP is a regular 4.4.2 php installation. PHP= C:\php

1) Will it work with a regular php ionstallation?
2) Do I need to copy the C:\Documents and Settings\nflorez\My Documents\DOWNLOADS\php5servlet-windows-SP1-i586\PHP\ext\*.dll to my c:\php\extensions directory?

In the http://samaxes.com/php-tutorial/jbossweb.php in the section "it's now time to run" it says to create an index.php file in the jbossweb.sar/ROOT.war folder but I do not have that folder, so I created it in the jboss-web.deployer folder.

How do I see that is there???

Thanks,

Nestor :-)

1) You will need a 5.1.x version of PHP.
2) No, having it in your classpath is sufficient

In php5servlet-windows-SP1-i586, there should be a php-examples.war directory, copy it to your deploy directory and then access it as http://localhost:8080/php-example/index.php.

Peter,

I have installed php 5.2.? (the lastest stable as of yesterday)
and I am using your php5servlet.dll

I got PHP working...yeah!!!!...

Another question: Can I put a package like phpbb3 or phpmyadmin in the php-examples folder and it should work, correct?
I will try this but I was wondering if you have try this already.

Thanks a lot Peter!!!!!

As nitm pointed out, any war file should work. Just follow the example provided by php-examples.war.

Guys,

I got php working by going to this url:http://10.100.5.126:8080/php-examples/internet.html

Can I show my php page as one of my tag/page on my portal http://10.100.5.126:8080/portal
where the url is http://10.100.5.126:8080/portal/default/internet ?
or is it possible to include as a portlet/window in one of my pages ?

I have been looking for this and I can not find anything.

Thanks,

Nestor :-)

The closest you can get is to use an iframe portlet to host the contents of the php page. There is an iframe portlet in PorltetSwap.
