[Php-java-bridge-users] Got things working on OS X

[Alan P. <api...@ma...>]

I just got things working on my Mac OS X 10.4.3 box and figured I'd  
post my notes for posterity. I have a pretty common setup and ran  
into a few hiccups so hopefully this will save some others some time!

Version used: php-java-bridge-2.0.8
PHP Version: 5.0.4 installed via fink

Fink Setup
Using libapache2-ssl-mod-php5 / php5-apache2-ssl
Had to install php5-apache2-ssl-dev to get a working phpize command

Build php-java-bridge as directed. Worked very well. Use --with-java= 
$JAVA_HOME to compile against Mac's JVM.

The php-java-bridge script expects the "php" on the PATH to be the  
desired php. You may need to update the PHP path to /sw/bin/php5

PHP Setup
php.ini setup:

extension = /sw/lib/php5/20041030/java.so
[java]
java.log_level="3"
java.log_file="/var/log/php-java-bridge.log"
java.hosts=localhost:9267
#java.socketname="/var/run/.php-java-bridge_socket"

NOTE: the default for php-java-bridge is to use unix sockets  
(java.socketname), but this doesn't work on Mac OS X. Switch to TCP  
by commenting out java.socketname and adding the java.hosts line.

Copy php-java-bridge shell script to /usr/sbin/ and run it.

That's it! After that, the test.php script worked.

Enjoy,
Alan
