RRDTool with PHP on Ubuntu

mossy464

Hi,

Im following the tutorial at this link to install rrdtool and work with PHP.

http://thirdroute.com/installing-rrd...ubuntu-server/

Now I have successfully installed rrdtool but when it comes to getting the php extension working i come into problems.

I downloaded the source for the extension and untarred it but im not sure if im putting the rrdtool folder in the right place.

My php source isnt at /usr/include/php5/ext/

It is at /etc/php5. I put the rrdtool folder in there from the extension i downloaded and tried sudo phpize but it said command not found.

Any suggestions?

It is at /etc/php5.

Are you sure??? That sounds very unlikely. /etc would be a really bad place to have a source tree. It is where configuration is kept but usually nothing else.

Just because you have PHP installed doesn't mean you have the PHP source installed.

I figured it out eventually. I was missing the php5-devel package. Its installed now anyway along with rrdtool and the php extension for RRDTool.

RRDTool is gonna take a while to get my head around though. If only I had the luxury of time.
