Re: [VuFind-General] RHEL5 installation

Building Apache and PHP from source is also an option -- that's what we've done to get the latest VuFind running under RHEL5.  It's not too painful if you're familiar with the general pattern of building Linux software.

Hi Mike,
We ran into the same difficulty recently -  the version with the OS (5.1.6?) doesn't like  json_decode() - and updated php using a 3rd-party repository. We used this one: http://www.jasonlitka.com/yum-repository/.

Also, as far as I remember the version of apache that comes with RHEL5 doesn't support one of the flags in the Vufind rewrite rules, see the httpd-vuind file for a note on this.

All the best,
Eoghan

I've asked our sysadmins bring up a 1.0RC2 instance on a RHEL5 server,
but the PHP and Pear versions supplied by the OS are apparently too
old.   Any suggestions for getting VuFind to work in this environment?
