Install PHP both as CGI and CLI

  • 772

I'm trying to set up development environment for some old projects in PHP 5.1.4. It needs to run as CGI (or fastcgi) under apache and I would like to have cli binary. My configure options are:

./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/php-dev \
--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php-dev/etc \
--enable-bcmath \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-dbase \
--enable-exif \
--enable-fastcgi \
--enable-force-cgi-redirect \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-memory-limit \
--enable-soap \
--enable-track-vars \
--enable-trans-sid \
--enable-versioning \
--enable-xslt \
--with-curl=/usr/local/php-libs/curl-7.12.2 \
--with-freetype \
--with-freetype-dir \
--with-gd \
--with-iconv \
--with-jpeg-dir \
--with-mhash \
--with-mime-magic \
--with-mssql=/usr/local/php-libs/freetds-0.64 \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql5 \
--with-mysql-sock=/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock \
--with-openssl \
--with-pdo-mysql=/usr/local/mysql5 \
--with-pear \
--with-ttf \
--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local/sablot-1.0.3 \
--with-zlib

After installing it, I have only these files in /usr/local/php-dev/bin:

pear
peardev
pecl
php
php-config
phpize

I would expect also php-cgi or php-cli. When running ./php -v from command line it shows:

PHP 5.1.4 (cgi-fcgi) (built: Sep 23 2010 09:46:33)
Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
 with Xdebug v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2010, by Derick Rethans

So I only have CGI version and when I try to run CLI specific scripts, variables $argv and $argc are NULL.

Is there a way to have both CLI and CGI versions? (system: slackware 13.0)

php cgi command-line-interface slackware

    From http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.introduction.php:

    The name, location and existence of the CLI/CGI binaries will differ depending on how PHP is installed on your system. By default when executing make, both the CGI and CLI are built and placed as sapi/cgi/php-cgi and sapi/cli/php respectively, in your PHP source directory. You will note that both are named php. What happens during make install depends on your configure line. If a module SAPI is chosen during configure, such as apxs, or the --disable-cgi option is used, the CLI is copied to {PREFIX}/bin/php during make install otherwise the CGI is placed there. So, for example, if --with--apxs is in your configure line then the CLI is copied to {PREFIX}/bin/php during make install. If you want to override the installation of the CGI binary, use make install-cli after make install. Alternatively you can specify --disable-cgi in your configure line.

    So, did you try make install-cli? Do you have a sapi dir with those two?
