make
make install
cd /usr/lib64/modules
[root modules]# ln -s /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/mhash.so ./mhash.so

Create a new file named mcrypt.so in /etc/php.d directory and enter the following.

;Enable mhash extension module
extension=mhash.so

Bounce Apache

[root /]#service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]

Howto : Enabling memcached extension on php.

Posted on July 27, 2011 Updated on August 11, 2011

Memcached is a general-purpose distributed memory caching system, but is now used by many other sites. It is often used to speed up dynamic database-driven websites by caching data and objects in RAM to reduce the number of times an external data source (such as a database or API) must be read. Memcached runs on Unix, Windows and MacOS and is distributed under a permissive free software license.

Installation :

You may simply install mamcached using pacl library, but it need the dependency package libmencached download , When compailing you might got an error mamcached not found so tha you may use some parameters with configuring like  –without-memcached

error Output:

checking for memcached session support... enabled
checking for memcached igbinary support... disabled
checking for memcached location... configure: error: libmemcached support requires libmemcached. Use --with-memcached-dir=<DIR> to specify the prefix where libmemcached headers and library are located
ERROR: `/tmp/pear/temp/memcached/configure' failed

Step :1- (Libmamcached Installation )

1.# wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/73843684/libmemcached-0.50.tar.g
2.# tar -zxvf libmemcached-0.50.tar.g
3.# cd libmemcached-0.5
4.#./configure --without-memcached && make && make install

Step:2 (Memcached installation)

1.#pecl install memcache
2.#echo "extension=/usr/lib/extensions/no-debug-zts-20060613/memcached.so" >> /etc/php.ini

Success Output :

Build complete.
Don't forget to run 'make test'.

Howto:Enable xmlrpc on php

Posted on December 2, 2010 Updated on August 11, 2011

Resolved as follows:

1. Into the php source directory in the ext directory

[root@rc-090 ~]# cd /home/installation/php-5.2.14/ext/xmlrpc/
[root@rc-090 xmlrpc]# /usr/bin/phpize
[root@rc-090 xmlrpc]# ./configure –with-xmlrpc –with-php-config=/usr/bin/php-config
[root@rc-090 xmlrpc]# make && make install

Build complete.
Don’t forget to run ‘make test’.

Installing shared extensions:     /usr/lib/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/

This is the massage when installation completed sucessfully.

Then we have to add below entry to php.ini file

extension=”xmlrpc.so”

Now you check the module enable or not thorugh this.

[root@rc-090 ]# php -m |grep “xmlrpc” will returns
xmlrpc

I f you need to view the XMLRPC entry on phpinfo do this step also

[root@rc-090 ~]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                             [  OK  ]
Starting httpd:                                               [  OK  ]

That’s it
