zlib - coolstack solaris 10
Hello,
I have installed CSKamp to run joomla which requires zlib.
On my Joomla instalation page it says:
- zlib compression supportUnavailable
on a php info page I see in configure command:
--with-zlib=shared,/usr
...but nowhere else on page.
Does a default CSKamp install provide the php-zlib extensions?
I am running a sol10x86 11/06 (core group installation) via serial console.
I have installed SUNWzlib, SUNWgcc, SUNWgcmn, SUNWgccruntime pkgs from the install cd.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

OK - I have installed CSKamp on a full install of OpenSolaris Dev Edition and STILL no zlib...
I assume... zlib has to be compiled into php.
Can someone please verify this and if they have any hints, tips, pointers etc. on achieving this it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

I have downloaded src.pkg and installed...
I have read notes for coolstack and it it says it is far better to use phpize rather than a full rebuild. as the readme gives no phpize insructions i have googled for docs on "phpize and coolstack" and have found nothing.
mind you i found no instructions to recompile either.

Did you remember to include 'extension=zlib.so' in your php.ini ?
On x86, a phpinfo gives me the following, so zlib does exist :
Registered PHP Streams => php, file, data, compress.zlib
Registered Stream Filters => string.rot13, string.toupper, string.tolower, string.strip_tags, convert.*, consumed, zlib.*
zlib
Stream Wrapper support => compress.zlib://
Stream Filter support => zlib.inflate, zlib.deflate
zlib.output_compression => Off => Off
zlib.output_compression_level => -1 => -1
zlib.output_handler => no value => no value

Hi Shanti,
Thank you for your replies.
With a few days to look through the materials and forums I have got it going with your suggestions.
The pdf doc is quite limited however the many insightful posts by yourself on this forum has enabled me to achieve my goal.
The solution was as simple as the extension="zlib.so" so I hope your insight may help all who choose to set up joomla on a coolstack pack.
Kind regards,
Philip
