Ubuntu 14.04 + Lamp 1.2.4 mssql_connect无法正常工作

Question

I'm strugling with a linux to install serwer for older php app. I have instaled ubuntu 14.04 + lamp 1.2.4 and I have made everything working except old mssql functions.

Obvioulsy I uncomented, and restarted apache:

extension=php_mssql.dll

and So far I tried:

apt-get install php5-sybase php-pear
pear install --nodeps MDB2_Driver_mssql

from https://www.turnkeylinux.org/forum/support/20090708/enabling-ms-sql-support-lamp-stack

in phpinfo I don't have mssql section at all.

here is a litle bit more about how I instaled linux: php not working on ubuntu desktop 16.04.02

Answer 1

This is not really answer to this question, but my goal was to have a linux with php 5 and working mssql* functions. And this is how I finaly did it. It's quite easy once you know that under windows mssql was out in php 5.3.x but in linux it's not until php 7 . (all my attempts to install a choosen version of php with stuff I need failed, and from what I see nobody has answears so linux is much more difficult to work with then I anticipated).

This I think is really nice tutorial for total beginer, hope it helps somebody:

Ubuntu must be 14.04 and NOT above (they switched to php 7).

SOME BASIC STUFF:

sudo apt-get install mc /*midnight commander is REALLY helpfull*/
sudo apt-get install konqueror /*or conqueror if you have deskptop*/
sudo nano file /*this is how you easily edit file in xterminal*/
sudo nano gedit file /*and in desptop*/

APACHE:

sudo apt-get install apache2    /*install*/
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
add this line: ServerName 192.168.0.xxxx    /*your ip or server name*/
sudo apache2ctl configtest /*if sth is wrong*/
sudo service apache2 restart

PHP

sudo apt-get install php5 /*php itself*/
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5 /*mod that connects php with apache I belive*/
sudo apt-get install php5-sybase php5-odbc freetds-common /*all libraries are required*/
sudo service apache2 restart

FAQ for php.ini (location of file is in phpinfo() )

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE /*will disable notices*/
display_errors = On
short_open_tag=On /* <? will work instad of <?php only */

How do I install modules?

sudo apt-get install mcrypt php5-mcrypt
sudo php5enmod mcrypt
sudo service apache2 restart

That made it work for me.
