Won't Compile w/ Settings.

[Matthew_K]

I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is:

I have two identical Litespeed web servers. Both have the same php settings and what not.

With one, when I compile with certain settings, it works and takes the settings as shown by phpinfo.

With the other, it will not accept any new settings.

I'm compiling with: --with-ffmpeg=/usr/lib/php5/20060613/ --with-mysql --with-zlib --with-gd=/usr/lib --enable-shmop --enable-track-vars --enable-sockets --enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm --disable-magic-quotes --enable-mbstring --with-iconv --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib --with-magickwand --with-curl --with-mcrypt --enable-ftp --with-freetype-dir= --with-ttf --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-gd-jis-conv

But the server that won't take new settings stops at --with-mcrypt. That's the last item it takes.

On the other server the phpinfo shows all the settings correctly.

With the one that doesn't work, the log shows that it compiled correctly with all the settings. But still, for some strange reason it acts like it doesn't install the newly compiled version.

Any advice?

Also, I just noticed the build date the one that wont change says: Apr 8 2008 13:12:47

The one that will change says: Apr 27 2008 04:27:26

So the build is definitely not installing on the other system.

Make sure you are using lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp5 for the lsphp external app.
PHP binary should be installed to lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp-5.2.5, please check the timestamp.

This is interesting... I go to that directory in my FTP client, and it shows the date on it is 4/8/2008. But when I try to open it I get this message: "Directory /opt/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp-5.2.5: no such file or directory"
I assume that IS the binary and that my FTP client thinks it's a directory. Either way, the date on that is 4/8.

EDIT:
On the other web server it says that it is 4/27/2008.

try removing it and build again.

I just renamed the old ones as backups, recompiled and the new ones are there with the right date. I don't know if the changes were made yet, since my load balancer is throwing everything to the other server right now, but I will check soon and report back. But so far so good.

It is better to have a dedicate domain name for each backend node for trouble shooting purpose.

[Matthew_K]

OK. I'll do that. That's a good idea.

[Matthew_K]

OK, happy to say it worked! Thanks, Mistwang. As always, you've been a big help!

Upgraded to .13 and tried to recompile just now. Same problem happened. I went into the /opt/lsws/fcgi-bin folder and renamed the old files, recompiled and the new one did not show up at all.

Any suggestions?
