Configuring PHP for IBM HTTP Server (IHS)

Following are the steps to configure PHP on IHS already installed.

 For this example I have used IHS v8.5.0.0, PHP v5.4.28 and CentOS 6.5

1. Download PHP sources...

 from http://php.net/

 2. Extract source to /tmp

 tar -zxvf php-5.4.28.tar.gz

 3. Compile PHP source

 cd /tmp
./configure --with-apxs2=/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/apxs
make
make install

 *Chage IHS apxs directory path to whatever your install path is

 4. Set php.ini

 cp php.ini-development /usr/local/lib/php.ini

 Add this line in php.ini
include_path="/usr/local/lib/php"

 5. Edit httpd.conf

 This line should be already in your httpd.conf if not, add it.
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

 Add following lines
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

 6. Create php page

 Create index.php with the following code and save it to /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/htdocs or whatever your directory is.

<?php
    phpinfo();
?>

7. Restart IHS

 ./apachectl restart

 Note
This is a very simple configuration and does not provide any further details other that make PHP run on IHS.

SSH connections issues

Often, I have some issues trying to access my very own server via ssh. That happens a lot when electricity goes off - yeah, electricity goes off in the XXI century. So, to make the story short... I have found that RSA host keys are some what invalid. I then deleted the file /user_folder/.ssh/know_hosts  and voila, I'm able to make connections again.

Eclipse BIRT report error

Recently I was trying to run a report in Eclipse BIRT but I was getting this error and Eclipse was closing unexpectedly. I was able to fix it after digging a little bit on what djView is. Looks like it is a report file type; I'm not pretty sure about that. ** (Eclipse:20112): DEBUG: NP_Initialize ** (Eclipse:20112): DEBUG: NP_Initialize succeeded djview: QDjViewPlugin::exec() begin No bp log location saved, using default.

Simon Says Game in a Raspberry Pi Pico

  I have finally decided to start with IoT. I know some very basics of electronic components but to be honest, it's fine if you don't know anything. I first started with Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller (I had no idea what was that) and the way I see it is that it is an electronic piece that controls electronic components via a programming language. I suppose this is way more complex, but I guess for us this will be enough. This is an example of what I have done so far... Feel free to download MicroPython code from  my public GitHub repo . Thanks to  claib  for his interest in this project and providing the  Fritzing.png   diagram. Hope you like it.
