You can add commit messages to new revision, in case you didn't know. I think those would be better place for change descriptions. To achieve this, you need to clone and manage the Gist as a Git repository.

Hello, how do I install pdo_firebird driver?

I was getting the following error while enabling mpm_prefork

Considering conflict mpm_event for mpm_prefork:
ERROR: Module mpm_event is enabled - cannot proceed due to conflicts. It needs to be disabled first!
Considering conflict mpm_worker for mpm_prefork:

This ultimately led to the following error while starting apache

* The apache2 configtest failed.
Output of config test was:
[Fri Feb 19 07:25:37.100983 2016] [:crit] [pid 16524:tid 140221303203712] Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP.
AH00013: Pre-configuration failed
Action 'configtest' failed.

I Solved it by apt-get install libapache2-mod-php7.0

you can save a lot of hdd space and time by shadow cloning a particular branch instead the whole repository:
$git clone https://github.com/php/php-src = 320MB
$git clone -b PHP-7.0.6 https://github.com/php/php-src --depth 1 = 19.7 MB

I am not seeing any folder "/etc/php7/". so anyone guide me about this issue?

7snovic commented Aug 4, 2016

when you run :

./configure
.....
--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs

i got that error :

sorry i cannot run apxs. possible reasons follow

to resolve this you need to configure with :
--with-apxs2=/usr/bin/apxs2

and if you got that error :

configure: error: freetype-config not found.

you will need to install libfreetype6-dev

in some machines you will need to do some manual search for those files
libldap.so , liblber.so , gmp.h

on AMD64 system you will not be able to locate that folder
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
and i found this folder under i386-linux-gnu name

so that part in some machines may be as like that

sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libldap.so /usr/lib/libldap.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/liblber.so /usr/lib/liblber.so
sudo ln -sf /usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/gmp.h /usr/include/gmp.h

you will face a problem with --with-t1lib
from php.net
T1lib To enable support for T1lib (Postscript Type 1 fonts) add --with-t1lib[=DIR] (Removed as of PHP 7.0.0).

I recommend --with-readline as well, to make sure you don't get stuck with libedit. Eg you can cut and paste text with ^U/^W and ^Y in interactive mode.

Line with t1lib is unnecesarry because of depreciation. (75)

T1lib To enable support for T1lib (Postscript Type 1 fonts) add --with-t1lib[=DIR] (Removed as of PHP 7.0.0).

Generally great script. I am impressed!

On Ubuntu server 16.04 , before executing configure you should install bison package.

Configure: error: bison is required to build PHP/Zend when building a GIT checkout!
