Install SOAP for PHP 7 in Amazon Linux - soap

Having a hard time finding SOAP extensions for PHP 7.
I've tried yum install php7.0-soap, but that results in:
No package php7.0-soap available.
Also tried yum install php-soap, that one looks like its specific to PHP 5.3, and it results in:
Error: php70-common conflicts with php-common-5.3.29-1.8.amzn1.x86_64
Is there a SOAP package specific for PHP 7, Amazon Linux?

The right command is:
yum install php70-soap
Thank you Brian Woods

Centos - how do I install a specific version of Erlang?

I'm running Centos 6.7 on my server and am trying to install Erlang/Rabbitmq following these instructions:
Erlang Installation
RabbitMQ Installation
The trouble is that at time of writing these install Erlang 19.0 with RabbitMQ 3.6.3, which leads to a pretty major bug as far as my client who occasionally looks at the management interface to monitor queues is concerned.
The guidance in the error ticket is not to use erlang 19 until RabbitMQ 3.6.4 is released. But how can I install a specific version of Erlang?
These steps worked for me:
Go to the download page here: https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/erlang/
Select your appropriate package -- you can copy/peek the link then download it using wget.
Install it using rpm.
Example:
# Download erlang 19
$ wget http://packages.erlang-solutions.com/site/esl/esl-erlang/FLAVOUR_1_general/esl-erlang_19.0~centos~7_amd64.rpm
# Install
rpm -Uvh esl-erlang_19.0~centos~7_amd64.rpm
You can always build install from source.
Go to the Erlang.org Downloads page, pick your version from the right side.
From there you can follow the instructions. Although they are for Ubuntu, the commands are the same except for the dependencies part where you can use the command below to install what you need:
sudo yum install g++ openssl-devel unixodbc-devel autoconf ncurses-devel
Another option would be to use kerl, which is similar to rvm in some sense and very (very!) easy to use. It will let you install different Erlang versions and switch between them any time you want.
I prefer this approach instead of looking up packages myself (with possible incompatibilities in the dependencies required) or downloading and compiling everything myself every time I want to try a new Erlang version.

Location of sphinx-build on CentOS

I have a brand new CentOS 6 box and wanted to install sphinx, in order to compile documents as generated by readthedocs.org i.e. rst files.
In a previous ubuntu box I was running
make html
and that would invoke the
sphinx-build
command and compile the documentation.
I downloaded the latest version of sphinx and installed it as such:
sudo wget http://sphinxsearch.com/files/sphinx-2.1.9-1.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
sudo localinstall sphinx-2.1.9-1.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
Everything seems to be fine but sphinx-build is nowhere to be found.
Any pointers are more than appreciated.
You are mixing up two different tools named Sphinx: the full text search server (http://sphinxsearch.com/) and the documentaton generator (http://sphinx-doc.org/). You need the latter tool in order to compile documents usingsphinx-build.
You can also install rpm package of sphinx (Python documentation generator) with yum at CentOS 6 using:
yum install python-sphinx.noarch
at Fedora 20 using:
yum install python-sphinx-doc.noarch
A short addup, according to offical document, one just need to run
pip install Sphinx to install the python documentation generator, sphinx. Or it can be downloaded from distribution package.

How to run PHP 5.5.4 mcrypt run on CentOS 6.4?

I am getting the following error:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library
'/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/mcrypt.so' -
/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by
/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/mcrypt.so)
Does mcrypt require glibc 2.14?
We are running CentOS 6.4 (latest stable version of CentOS) and it comes with glibc 2.12 (can't really upgrade glibc as being a core part of OS, changing it will likely break lots of stuff)
How do I make my PHP 5.5.4 run mcsypt under these circumstances?
Current configuration (phpinfo output) is here.
I was also having issues installing mcrypt on my VPS dev server so I thought I would post my solution in the hopes that it helps someone. I am running Centos OS 6.5 and had upgraded PHP to 5.5.13 using the Webtatic EL yum repository. https://webtatic.com/packages/php55/
First shh into your server
ssh admin#domain.com
initially I was trying to do (which was not working):
yum update
yum install php-mcrypt
I then realized my mistake when I looked at php -v and realized php-common was conflicting as the above code was trying to load a dependency from 5.3.
I then executed the following correct commands:
rpm -Uvh http://mirror.webtatic.com/yum/el6/latest.rpm
yum update
yum install php55w-mcrypt
service httpd restart
This worked perfectly for me.
I also read while researching this issue that some people did have to add the extension to their .ini file manually by adding the following line but i did not have to do this.
extension=mcrypt.so
you can find the location of your php.ini file by looking at phpinfo(); and see which configuration it is loading. For me the following ini files were loading:
/etc/php.ini
/etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini
/var/www/vhosts/system/domain.com/etc/php.ini
If the installation is successful then you will see the extension when you echo phpinfo();
Try installing php-mcrypt using yum. That should pull in any other libraries you need to run it.
yum install php-mcrypt
In light of your update, it would appear that you are trying to use the MCrypt extension built from another PHP Source which was created by an updated GLIBC library. The only proper solution I can see is the following:
You first need to ensure you have libmcrypt, libmcrypt-devel, and mcrypt installed before continuing. Check your CentOS repository.
Download the PHP Source from http://php.net
Untar the downloaded source tar -zxf php-5.5.4.tar.gz
cd into the source cd php-5.4.4
Copy your current ./configure string. The whole thing!
Add support for Mcrypt --with-mcrypt=/usr and run the new configure command
make && make install
restart Apache and PHP-FPM
This will keep your current configuration just as CentOS has built it but with the additional support of MCrypt as you are looking to have. Once you've done this, you do not need to enable the MCrypt extension in your php.ini file as it will be built into PHP itself and will be automatically loaded for you now.
When in doubt, you can also read up on the installation here http://us1.php.net/manual/en/mcrypt.installation.php

How to install python libxml2 in solaris?

I'm good at installing package in Linux environment but newbie to Solaris OS. I need to install Python - libxml2 package to my project. Does the below command also work in Solaris server for installation??
sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev
I have tried googling, unfortunately not able to get.
What you proposed is specific to Debian-based Linux distributions.
IMHO, the fastest way would be to download the libxml2 source code in order to compile and install it yourself.
If you're running Solaris 11, then pkg install libxml2 with sufficient privilege would be the right invocation. Determining the right package name is as simple as pkg search with a reasonable query (assuming that you're still connected to the repository from which you installed the system).
If you're running Solaris 10 or older, then you'll need the original install media, plus whatever patches have been issued that intersect SUNWlxml. But frankly, installing from source is probably easier at that point.

symfony plugin installation fails on windows because it is "unable to unpack" the tgz

I tried to install the sfTaskExtraPlugin using
symfony plugin:install sfTaskExtraPlugin
and received
Installation of "sfTaskExtraPlugin" plugin failed: unable to unpack (...)sfTaskExtraPlugin-1.3.3.tgz
I know I can simply install it manually by unpacking it to the plugin directory and including it into the ProjectConfiguration.
But I would like to be able to install all that is possible through the installer, as it is way more comfortable.
My system details: symfony 1.4 on Windows 7 (64 bit) with XAMPP 1.7.4.
Thanks!
Not an expert on this but my guess is that you're missing a utility/program that would allow Windows to unpack the tgz file. I'd Google around, install the relevant utility(ies) and try again.
I'm using the exact same setup as you as my dev environment and don't have that problem.
I have same problem and I have no solution.
One solution is: try again and again and again. It should work! :)
I'm not kidding. To install symfony 1.4.8 via pear on my Windows7 by using xampp 1.7.4 I just stupidly repeated installation.
